Find disguised cameras with this app
Hidden Camera Detector Gold is a paid utility app that uses your device's magnetic sensor to detect hidden cameras in the vicinity. It alerts you to the existence of cameras and other devices that could be hidden in the location you're in.
Hidden Camera Detector Gold works by analyzing the magnetic activity around your device. It will then set off an alarm once it detects magnetic activity that seems to be similar to that of a camera. You will have to move your device around as if you're scanning the area so that the app can pick up the magnetic signals.
Features to detect concealed cameras
Whether you are renting a hotel or staying in an Airbnb, taking the extra step to ensure your security and privacy is crucial. Hidden Camera Detector Gold can help you with this as it assists you in looking for cameras that might be concealed in your accommodation. Simply point your device at any object that you find suspicious and see if the app will set off an alarm.
It can also detect wireless cameras by scanning nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections. The app primarily uses your device's magnetic sensor but it also has an infrared detector feature for gadgets that don't have magnetic sensors. It uses your camera to scan the area and displays infrared lights as white lights on the preview screen. You can adjust the slider at the bottom to see the IR lights more clearly.
While the app does a great job of detecting cameras, it can result in false positives. That's because this tool can, in some instances, set an alert when it detects specific types of metal. Some forms of metal may exhibit the same magnetic activity as that of a camera, though it still depends on their length, material, and temperature. It's still best to check the object if the app beeps.
Keep yourself safe
Hidden Camera Detector Gold helps you keep safe as it ensures that your accommodation is free of concealed cameras. It quickly alerts you when it detects something from its analysis of the magnetic activities in your vicinity. You can even use it even if your device only has infrared. Just keep in mind that there might be false positives as the tool may alert when scanning specific metal types.
