How to find hidden cameras & trackers
Guides for checking the places where hidden cameras turn up most — and how to use each detection method.
A quick 5‑minute sweep
- 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 tell whether something is close — or following you place to place.
- Photograph suspicious objects for AI comparison. Smoke detectors, USB chargers, clocks, and air fresheners are common disguises; the AI tells you if an object resembles a known spy camera.
- Check reflections with the lens detector. Dim the lights and sweep slowly — a camera lens reflects the detector's light back as a small bright point.
- Look in the usual spots. Facing the bed, shower, or desk: smoke alarms, vents, mirrors, picture frames, and electronics.
By location
Hotels & Airbnbs
Check the Wi‑Fi for connected cameras, scan objects facing the bed and shower, and sweep for lens reflections at night. If you find a camera, document it and report it to the platform or property.
Changing rooms & restrooms
Focus on the lens detector and AI photo check on fixtures, hooks, vents, and mirrors, where network scanning may not be available.
Offices & workplaces
Use the network and Bluetooth scans to find unfamiliar devices, and the AI check on everyday objects positioned toward desks or meeting areas.
Trackers following you
Run the Bluetooth scan in different places; a device that keeps appearing near you across locations is worth investigating. Signal strength helps you locate it.
Free video guides
The app includes free how‑to videos where security professionals show where hidden cameras are commonly concealed, with quick demonstrations of each detection method. They're available in the app at no cost — no subscription required.
Combining these methods gives you multiple practical ways to check a space and investigate suspicious devices with greater confidence.
