Camera Detector
Read full descriptionHide full description
Here's a more concise English version: --- **Camera Detector** is a privacy-assistance tool for accommodation inspections. It organizes on‑site clues via infrared light spots, publicly responding devices on the same Wi‑Fi, nearby Bluetooth signals, and magnetic field changes. **Results do not prove any item is a camera, nor can they confirm all devices. No alerts do not guarantee safety.** Final judgment requires physical inspection and context. --- **Four Inspection Clues** - **Infrared Spots** – Phone cameras may show strong near‑IR as red/purple/white dots. Remote controls, sensors, and reflections can also cause similar spots. Prompts are clues only. - **Wi‑Fi Devices** – Scans for devices responding on the same network. Categorization is based on names/services (e.g., storage, managed, unknown, or similar to surveillance). **Classification does not prove recording or location.** Some devices may not appear. - **Bluetooth Devices** – Shows discoverable devices with relative distance changes. Names are user‑set, distance is affected by obstacles, and not all cameras use Bluetooth. **Not a standalone identifier.** - **Magnetic Field Changes** – Uses phone sensors to show relative magnetic shifts around outlets, appliances, and objects. Magnets, metal, power sources, speakers, and phone movement can raise readings. **Environmental clue only.** --- **Key Places to Physically Check** - Smoke detectors, decorations, or holes facing beds/activity areas - TVs, set‑top boxes, and nearby outlets - Bathroom mirrors and frames - Lamps, alarm clocks, and small unknown items on bedside tables - Vents, corners, and devices in odd locations --- **How to Use** Open the App, select a function, move your phone slowly, observe changes, and verify on‑site. Choose reputable accommodations. If you find a suspicious device, do not remove it—preserve the scene and contact management or police. --- **Important** This App provides clues only and **does not replace professional equipment, manual checks, or official investigations.** Results are not final determinations and offer no safety guarantee. --- **Subscriptions** - **Plans:** Weekly, Seasonal, Yearly - **Access:** Premium features during active subscription - **Auto‑renewal:** Enabled by default; manage via iTunes/Apple ID Settings - **Cancel:** Go to Settings → iTunes & App Store → Apple ID → View Apple ID → Subscriptions → Manage → Cancel --- **Privacy Policy:** https://docs.qq.com/doc/DV1hqdFJGSnJObmFJ **Terms of Service:** https://docs.qq.com/doc/DV0xwRE9QcXVXaU5V

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LensGuard at none against Camera Detector's shown. Camera Detector's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
