Sentry
Read full descriptionHide full description
A room-scanning aid for your phone. Hidden cameras get concealed in everyday objects β smoke detectors, USB chargers, alarm clocks, vents and mirrors. Sentry uses the sensors already in your phone to measure five different signals in a room and shows you every reading, so you know which spots are worth inspecting by hand. Sentry does not identify cameras. It measures signals β infrared light, magnetic fields, bright reflections, and the devices on the network around you β and each of those signals can come from ordinary electronics just as easily as from a camera. No app, and no dedicated hardware, can find every hidden camera. Sentry is a tool that guides a careful manual check; it is not a guarantee and should never be treated as one. WHAT SENTRY MEASURES β’ Infrared (IR) Scan β your camera sensor can show infrared light, the kind night-vision cameras emit in the dark (as do remotes and many sensors) β’ Magnetic Field β reads spikes near powered electronics, including devices with no Wi-Fi β’ Lens Reflection Scan β on-device image analysis flags bright, lens-like glare for you to look at β’ Wi-Fi Network Audit β lists devices on the network you're joined to and flags names matching known camera brands β’ Bluetooth Scan β lists nearby advertising devices with an estimated distance HOW TO USE IT 1. Tap Scan and pan your phone slowly around the room 2. Watch the live readings β a glow, a highlighted box or a signal spike 3. Go to each flagged spot and inspect it with your own eyes and hands The third step is the important one. Sentry tells you where to look; it cannot tell you what is there. BUILT PRIVATE Sentry works entirely on your device. No account. No uploads. No tracking. Your scans and any photos you save never leave your phone.

Ivuta
Read full descriptionHide full description
Take a closer look at an unfamiliar room with Ivuta. The app combines five practical inspection methods and explains what each observation mayβand may notβmean. LOOK FOR VISIBLE CLUES Use the camera and flashlight to inspect suspicious reflections. The optical view helps you examine a possible lens; an ordinary reflection is not proof of a camera. CHECK NEARBY SIGNALS Explore devices that announce local-network services or broadcast Bluetooth signals. Unknown devices are not automatically classified as cameras, and devices that do not announce themselves may not appear. USE YOUR PHONE'S SENSORS Review magnetic-field changes as supporting context, not a verdict. Try infrared-assisted inspection only if your phone's camera passes the in-app compatibility check. Hardware and lighting affect what you can see. UNDERSTAND THE RESULT Ivuta presents findings with their supporting indicators and limitations so you can decide what to inspect next. A clear scan does not prove a space is safe, and no phone app can detect every hidden camera. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Camera preview frames are processed transiently on your device. Raw camera frames, Bluetooth broadcast data, and full network inventories are not uploaded by default. Permissions are requested when you open the relevant tool.
