Hidden Camera Detector
Hidden Camera Detector is a useful and reliable app that can detect hidden cameras in your area. It works by analyzing the magnetic activity around the device.
To effectively utilize this app, your phone must be equipped with a magnetic sensor, as the magnetometer feature relies on it.
Using the app is simple. Position it near any suspicious device, such as a shower, flowerpot, lens-like object, or changing room mirror. The app will analyze the magnetic activity surrounding the device. If the magnetic activity resembles that of a camera, the app will emit a beep and raise an alarm, prompting you to further investigate.
To determine the sensor position on your phone, face the app’s sensor towards the object. You can do this by using any camera and moving it near the top and bottom of your phone. When the app emits a beep, you have found the sensor position.
This app is not designed to detect metals. Metals are good conductor for electricity so they have electromagnetism but it is very weak and app is designed to ignore it.
But sometimes, some type of metals depending on their length, material, temperature may exhibit same magnetic activity as that of camera. In that case app may beep. If so always look for lens on the suspect if app beeps.
What do I do if it beeps near metal –
Check if there is any lens on the suspect. If not, then you are secure. if you find lens like object, then there should be hidden camera.
What is the use of this app, if I have to detect manually
App analyses magnetic activity and warn you if it find magnetic activity similar to camera.
So if app beeps, check for lens.
App can not see if suspect is having lens on it but your eyes can see it likewise you can not see its magnetic/ electromagnetic activity but the app can analyze ! App will help you many times and may also fail sometimes and there it needs your intervention.
Infrared detector is just a fancy green tool of normal camera. Normal camera can also detect infrared
You are partially-correct. Along with this, infrared detector have luminescence effect to glow white light. If you feel better with normal camera, go for it. We never claimed something false. But please give credit to the app if you never knew IR camera can be detected using digicam. And off course, its a quick scanning feature within the app.
It works by analyzing the magnetic field strength and detecting any objects that have a magnetic field. Once it finds one of these devices, it will alert you and allow you to check it out. You will get a notification when a device is detected.
