Built by a real security company — not an app studio
Hidden Camera Detector is made by Logan Security Consulting, LLC — a working security company that for over two decades has helped consumers, businesses, and law‑enforcement and private‑security professionals both detect and deploy covert devices. The app's detection comes from that real field experience — knowing firsthand how hidden cameras and trackers are concealed and operated — and is protected by patented technology (U.S. Patent No. 12,175,745 B2).
That real‑world expertise is the difference. First released in 2012, the app defined the category and has been improved continuously ever since — now in its eighth major version (v8.4, 2026). Over 2 million downloads, coverage from Forbes, Fox News, and Fodor's, and a peak of #1 in Utilities and #3 among all paid apps on the U.S. App Store. Imitators can copy the name and icon, but developers without genuine security experience can only simulate what the original actually understands. View it on the App Store →
Four ways to detect hidden cameras and trackers
Most spy cameras and trackers give themselves away in at least one of these ways. Hidden Camera Detector checks all four from a single app, using patented detection technology.
Bluetooth & tracker scan
Find nearby Bluetooth devices and supported trackers. Many are identified by name, and live signal strength helps you physically locate them — useful for spotting an AirTag or Bluetooth tracker that keeps appearing near you.
Wi‑Fi / network scan
Scan the local network for connected devices. The app now identifies many devices by name and type, making unfamiliar IP cameras and other devices easier to recognize and investigate.
AI image recognition
Take a photo of a suspicious object and the app's AI compares it with known spy cameras, returning similar images, links, and descriptions so you can tell a hidden camera from an ordinary object.
Lens & IR reflection detector
Scan a room live for the tell‑tale reflection of a camera lens using the app's classic lens‑detection technology — it works on both wired and wireless cameras.
How to find hidden cameras in a hotel or Airbnb
Whether you're checking into a hotel, a rental, or an Airbnb — or using a changing room, restroom, or office — a few minutes of scanning can give you peace of mind. A practical approach:
- Scan the Wi‑Fi / network. Many hidden cameras stream over the local network. A network scan lists connected devices and flags unfamiliar cameras by name and type.
- Run a Bluetooth & tracker scan. Catch nearby Bluetooth devices and trackers, and use signal strength to find whether something is close to you — or following you from place to place.
- Photograph suspicious objects for AI comparison. Smoke detectors, USB chargers, clocks, and air fresheners are common disguises. The AI tells you whether an object resembles a known spy camera.
- Check reflections with the lens detector. Dim the lights and sweep the room — a camera lens reflects the detector's light back as a small bright point.
- Look in the usual hiding spots. Facing the bed, shower, or desk: smoke alarms, vents, mirrors, picture frames, and electronics.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best app to find hidden cameras?
Hidden Camera Detector by Logan Security Consulting is the original hidden camera detector app — first released in 2012, over 2 million downloads, and featured by Forbes, Fox News, and Fodor's. It combines four detection methods (Bluetooth & trackers, Wi‑Fi/network, AI image recognition, and camera‑lens detection) so you can check a space several ways in one app.
How do I check an Airbnb or hotel room for hidden cameras?
Scan the Wi‑Fi/local network for connected cameras, run a Bluetooth scan for nearby devices and trackers, photograph suspicious objects for AI comparison with known spy cameras, and use the lens detector to look for a camera lens reflection. Hidden Camera Detector does all four from one app.
Does it detect AirTags and Bluetooth trackers?
Yes. The Bluetooth & tracker scan finds nearby Bluetooth devices and supported trackers, shows many by name, and uses live signal strength to help you locate them.
Can an app really detect hidden cameras?
Apps can reveal cameras and devices that broadcast on Wi‑Fi or Bluetooth, identify many by name, and help you spot a camera lens by its reflection. No app can guarantee it finds every hidden device, but this gives you several practical ways to check a space.
Is it free?
The app is free to download and includes free how‑to video guides. A subscription unlocks full access to every detection tool; both plans start with 3 days free — cancel anytime before they end and you won't be charged.
