Read full description

Hotel room, short-term rental, or your own home β€” Hidden Cam Detect sweeps the space for hidden cameras, microphones and tracking devices. And when something turns up, it helps you walk to it. SEE WHAT'S ON THE NETWORK Most hidden cameras need Wi-Fi to be useful. The app lists what's connected and tells you what each thing actually is β€” "IP camera, known brand" instead of "192.168.1.42" β€” along with the reason it was flagged. Printers, speakers and phones get ruled out instead of padding the list. WALK TO IT, DON'T JUST WORRY ABOUT IT - A proximity meter that rises as you get closer, with haptic feedback. - An AR signal map you paint by walking around the room, so you can see where the signal peaks. (Pro) - LiDAR depth markers that pin a suspicious reflection in 3D β€” needs an iPhone Pro. (Pro) CHECK WITH YOUR OWN EYES - Lens scan: your flashlight and camera catch the glint a lens reflects back. - Infrared viewer for the invisible IR light night-vision cameras give off. (Pro) - A guided checklist of the places devices usually hide β€” smoke detectors, alarm clocks, power strips, air vents β€” and what to look for in each. AFTER EVERY SCAN A clear risk score with the reasoning behind it, plus a panel showing which checks ran and which ones couldn't β€” so you always know what was covered and what wasn't. Save the result, compare it on your next visit, or export it as a PDF report. (Pro) HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS No app can find every hidden device, and this one doesn't pretend to. It's a triage tool: it surfaces what a phone can pick up, then guides the rest of the search. "Nothing found" never means a room is safe. A recorder saving to a memory card, an older wired camera, or anything switched off gives off nothing a phone can detect. That's why every scan ends with the checklist. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your scan results stay on your phone and are never uploaded. No account, no sign-in. Optional anonymous crash and usage reports can be turned off in Settings. FREE Wi-Fi scan, Bluetooth scan, lens-glint tool, risk scoring, guided checklist and recent scans, plus one free Full Scan. PRO UNLOCKS Unlimited Full Scan, infrared viewer, magnetometer, LiDAR depth tools, AR locate, AR signal map, extended scan history and PDF export. - Trip Pass: one-time purchase, 72 hours of Pro. Does NOT renew. - Annual: auto-renewable subscription, billed yearly. - Lifetime: one-time purchase. Does NOT renew. Prices vary by region and your local price is shown before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Only the Annual plan renews automatically: it renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.

About

Hidden Camera Check

Read full description

Look for hidden-camera clues in a hotel room, vacation rental or unfamiliar space. ClearRoom helps you check Wi-Fi responses, explore nearby Bluetooth devices and inspect the room visually. No phone app can rule out hidden cameras. START WITH WI-FI Start a check on Wi-Fi you’re allowed to inspect. Follow progress as devices respond, then review any video-streaming clues. Ordinary devices are not labeled as cameras. An incomplete check is shown as incomplete, with details to help you understand what happened. TAKE A CLOSER LOOK Follow illustrated guidance for small openings and lens reflections. Use the lens viewer to focus, zoom and add light on supported cameras. A reflection alone is not proof of a camera. EXPLORE BLUETOOTH DEVICES See nearby Bluetooth Low Energy announcements and compare changes in signal strength. Names come from the devices and may be missing or inaccurate. Signal strength does not measure distance or direction, and a Bluetooth device is not necessarily a camera. ClearRoom does not pair with devices or access their content. TRY AN INFRARED LIGHT CHECK Choose the front or rear camera and try an optional TV-remote compatibility check. Record a 12-second silent sweep, then pause, scrub and enlarge frames. A countdown, dim screen and start/end vibrations help when the screen faces away from you. No microphone access is requested. KEEP YOUR INSPECTION ON YOUR IPHONE No account, ads, analytics, subscriptions or in-app purchases. Inspection data is not uploaded to the developer. Notes, photos and a room checklist are optional. Temporary sweep clips are deleted when you leave or background the check unless you explicitly export a copy. UNDERSTAND THE LIMITS A streaming response can come from a camera or another media device. Direct Wi-Fi checks cover six common TCP ports on the connected IPv4 subnet, up to 1,022 host addresses. Bonjour also checks advertised streaming, web, media-receiver and printing services. Other ports, IPv6-only devices, isolated networks, offline cameras and devices on other networks can be missed. Infrared visibility varies by iPhone camera. Seeing a remote’s light does not establish room-distance performance or sensitivity to every wavelength. Many cameras emit no infrared light, and ordinary devices can emit it. A point of light does not identify a camera. Magnetic-field readings are an additional tool; magnets, metal and speakers affect them, and they cannot identify cameras or measure Wi-Fi signals. ClearRoom supports manual inspection. It does not automatically identify cameras or certify a room as camera-free. Camera, Bluetooth and magnetic tools need a physical iPhone. Support: contato@terosmk.com.br TMK Consultoria LTDA
