Turn your phone into a multi-sensor detector. SenseRadar helps you spot potential hidden cameras, listening devices and trackers in hotel rooms, rentals, offices and changing rooms — anywhere your privacy matters. ONE-TAP RADAR Start a combined scan with a single tap and follow a live risk score on the radar screen. 6 SENSOR MODULES • Network — scans the Wi-Fi network for suspicious devices such as IP cameras • Bluetooth (BLE) — finds nearby Bluetooth devices and trackers like AirTag; track their distance on a live radar (Pro) • EMF — measures electromagnetic anomalies using your phone's magnetometer • Optical — AI-assisted lens detection reveals reflections from hidden camera lenses • Ultrasonic — emits inaudible 18–22 kHz signals and analyses the reflections • LiDAR — builds a depth map of surfaces on supported iPhone models AI RISK ANALYSIS Generate an AI security report for the devices found: overall security score, suspicious device flags and clear recommendations. PRIVACY FIRST All sensor analysis runs 100% on your device. Your scan data is never uploaded or sold. SENSERADAR PRO Advanced features (EMF analysis, Bluetooth distance radar, AI reports) are part of the SenseRadar Pro auto-renewing subscription. Purchases can be restored at any time. IMPORTANT This app does not guarantee definitive detection; it provides risk assessment only. Results depend on your phone's hardware sensors and the environment. Offline or hardware-isolated devices that emit no radio signals may not be detected. SenseRadar is a supplementary aid and does not replace a professional security sweep. In suspicious situations, perform a physical search and contact the relevant authorities. Terms of Use (EULA): https://senseradar.net/en/terms

Vigil turns your phone into a five-channel sweep for hidden cameras, microphones and trackers. It is the check worth doing before you unpack in a hotel room, a holiday rental, a changing room or an office. FIVE WAYS TO FIND A CAMERA Infrared: night-vision cameras flood a dark room with light your eyes cannot see. The front camera can see it, and Vigil under-exposes the sensor until only the emitters are left. Lens glint: glass reflects light straight back at its source. Sweep with the torch and a lens answers with a small, hard, motionless spark. Magnetic: every camera worth hiding holds a magnet and a switching supply, both of which bend the local field. This is the only channel that finds a camera that is switched off. Wi-Fi: lists every device on the network you are on and flags the ones answering on the ports IP cameras stream over. Bluetooth: finds battery cameras, voice recorders and trackers that advertise themselves, and tells you when one is getting closer. WHERE TO LOOK Smoke detectors, air vents, alarm clocks, chargers, mirrors, TV bezels, power strips, air fresheners and decorative holes. Each mode explains what it is measuring and how to sweep properly. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every scan runs on your device. No video is recorded, no network data leaves the phone, no account is needed and nothing is uploaded — a privacy tool that phoned home would be a contradiction. Vigil raises suspicion, it does not prove anything. If you find something you cannot explain, stop, leave it in place and call the front desk or the police.
