Worried about hidden cameras in your Airbnb, hotel room, changing room or office? Hidden Camera Detector helps you scan your surroundings for spy cameras and hidden electronic devices using four powerful detection methods. MAGNETIC DETECTOR Uses your phone's magnetometer to detect the magnetic field of electronic devices. Move your phone near walls, outlets, smoke detectors and objects — a spike means a possible hidden device. NETWORK SCANNER Scans your Wi-Fi network and lists every connected device, flagging ones that expose camera-style ports as possible IP cameras. INFRARED SCANNER Use your camera to spot the infrared LEDs used by night-vision cameras — small bright dots invisible to the naked eye. LENS DETECTOR Find hidden camera lenses by their reflection using the red-light reflection scan. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT - Four detection methods in one app - Fast, simple and easy to use - Works completely offline - No account or sign-up required - Scan history saved locally on your device IMPORTANT No detection method can guarantee finding every hidden device. This app is a helpful aid, not a certified security tool. Always combine all four methods for the most thorough coverage.
