Hidden Camera Detector - Scan
Find Detect Spy Cameras Nearby
Free · Designed for iPad
See hidden cameras before they see you
Hidden Camera Detector helps you inspect a space with calm, structured guidance and multiple signals—so you can make a clearer judgment about suspicious devices. It combines visual lens detection, nearby device scanning, magnetic field readings, and a guided checklist, then captures results in on‑device reports you can review later.
Whether you are in a rental, hotel, office, or any unfamiliar space, the app walks you through a practical inspection flow that is repeatable and easy to follow. It is designed to reduce guesswork, minimize false positives, and help you document what you found.
How the app works
Hidden camera detection is not a single trick. Real-world situations are messy: reflections, small devices, and clutter can all lead to uncertainty. That is why the app combines several signals:
1. Visual lens detection
Use the live camera view with a wide set of filters to highlight reflections and lens glints. Choose from Red, Blue, Green, Cyan, Gray, No Filter, Negative, Heat Map, IR Scan, and Edge Scan. Adjust exposure in real time, control flashlight modes (On, Off, Pulse), and quickly switch cameras. Advanced modes help you scan more effectively:
- Color Cycle automatically rotates filters to reveal small reflections.
- Brightness Ramp automatically adjusts contrast, gamma, and exposure.
- Auto Sweep cycles tuning presets to test different lighting conditions.
2. Radar scanning
Scan nearby Bluetooth devices with signal strength bars, suspicious flags, and “signal lost” detection. The Wi‑Fi scan shows reachable addresses, local IP, and local-device tagging so you can understand what is on the network around you. This is not a confirmation of a camera, but it helps surface unknown devices worth investigating.
3. Magnetic scanner
Check for unexpected electronics with a live magnetic field scanner. See Bx/By/Bz axis readings, total field strength in microtesla, and a rolling time chart with start/stop control.
4. Guided checklist
Follow a step‑by‑step checklist tailored to your place, room size, lighting, and scan style (Quick, Balanced, Thorough). The checklist organizes your inspection area by area, keeps progress visible, and reduces the chance of missing common hiding spots. Expandable suspicious‑place cards include “check for” tips and one‑tap reset.
5. Training and tips
Short, guided lessons explain how to inspect a space and avoid false positives.
6. History and reports
Every scan can be saved into a detailed report with labels, notes, and per‑scan summaries. Filter your history by All, Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, Lens, or Magnetic. Lens reports include exposure, filters used, flashlight usage, front camera usage, color cycle, brightness ramp, and auto sweep.
7. Personalization and quick access
Choose scan preferences, enable or disable scan history, set notification reminders, and select alternate app icons. A widget lets you jump straight into Radar or Lens with one tap.
Privacy and permissions
Lens detection does not record or send images. Scan history stays on your device and can be disabled in Settings. Permissions are only requested when needed:
- Camera (Lens detection)
- Bluetooth (Radar scan)
- Local Network (Wi‑Fi scan)
- Notifications (optional reminders)
Important notes
Results are indicators, not guarantees. Wi‑Fi scans show reachable addresses, not confirmed cameras. Bluetooth scans identify nearby devices but cannot prove intent. Reflections can be caused by many things other than lenses. Always use your best judgment and follow local laws.
Hidden Camera Detector is built to help you stay aware without alarm—while giving you tools to scan, learn, and record your findings in a clear, structured way.
