Going somewhere unfamiliar? An Airbnb, a rental, a room you don't trust? ClearSight helps you check a space for hidden cameras and trackers using only your iPhone. Built for travelers, hosts, and anyone who wants more confidence about a room. SCAN FOR FREE — NO ACCOUNT, NO PAYMENT Run a full Wi-Fi scan and a full Bluetooth tracker scan without paying — you'll see how many devices were found, how many were flagged, and a verdict on the room. The 30-item inspection guide is free in full. A subscription unlocks the detail behind the scans, plus the infrared and optical tools. FIVE WAYS TO CHECK A SPACE Network Scan Finds cameras and IoT devices on the local Wi-Fi — RTSP streaming ports, ONVIF responses, camera-vendor service records, and port patterns common to Hikvision, Dahua, Wyze, Ring and generic IP cameras. Also flags camera hubs and base stations (Blink, Ring, Arlo, Eufy, NVRs) — the battery cameras they control use a radio no phone can scan, so the hub is your cue to look physically. Each device shows the evidence behind its rating. Bluetooth & Tracker Scan Detects nearby Bluetooth trackers — AirTag, Tile, SmartTag, Chipolo, Pebblebee — plus unknown devices with unusually strong signals. iOS hides AirTag identifying data from third-party apps, so we say "Possible AirTag" rather than overclaim. Results land on a live sonar by signal strength, not location — walls and bodies change Bluetooth too much to honestly name a room. Infrared (IR) Camera Scan Helps reveal cameras using night vision. IR LEDs are invisible to your eyes but show up on your phone's camera in the dark. Sweep slowly and watch for bright points — though TVs and remotes also produce small IR glints. Lens Detector Uses your flashlight and optical retroreflection to spot hidden camera lenses, including unpowered ones. Works best when the lens roughly faces the phone, light is low and you move slowly. A thorough sweep, not a guarantee. Physical Inspection Guide — free 30 guided checkpoints for the highest-risk hiding spots — smoke detectors, alarm clocks, vents, screw holes, decor. Reaches what tech can't. ALSO INCLUDED Travel Mode — a guided 5-step sweep in the right order, for your first 10 minutes after check-in. Periodic Re-scan — re-runs the network scan during your stay and flags changes, though new devices have ordinary causes. Router Port Check — gateway ports that may indicate cameras reaching the internet. PRIVACY THAT ISN'T A PROMISE — IT'S ARCHITECTURE Everything ClearSight detects stays on your device. Results, device lists, photos, reports — never uploaded. No telemetry, no phoning home. Apple gives us aggregated install metrics that identify no one. WHERE IT WORKS, AND WHERE IT DOESN'T Most effective in short-term rentals, Airbnbs and friends' homes — anywhere the host runs the same Wi-Fi you're on. Less effective in hotels, where cameras usually sit on management networks no guest-side scanner can reach. The IR scan, lens detector, Bluetooth scan and checklist still work anywhere. ClearSight is a privacy awareness aid, not a certified security instrument. No scanning technology — including professional gear — can guarantee detection of every device. Cameras on cellular networks and offline storage-only devices fall outside what any Wi-Fi scanner reaches. CLEARSIGHT PRO $29.99/year or $8.99/month, each with a 3-day free trial. Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends — manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Cancel during the trial and you aren't charged.
