Hidden cameras in your Airbnb. A GPS tracker stuck under your car. A wireless bug transmitting from somewhere in the room. They don't all work the same way — a signal scanner won't find a camera that's off, and it won't find a tracker that's sleeping.
This detector combines RF signal scanning, magnetic field detection, and an infrared lens finder. Sweeps 5G, 4G, WiFi, and Bluetooth up to 12GHz. Magnetic probe finds GPS trackers even when they're powered off. IR viewfinder reveals camera lenses up to 10 metres away — wired or wireless, on or off.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Catches Modern Bugs and Trackers - RF scanning from 1MHz to 12GHz covers 5G, 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and analog signals. Adjustable sensitivity knob lets you dial in on weak or nearby sources.
-
Finds Sleeping GPS Trackers - Magnetic probe detects tracker mounts even when powered off or between pings. Flexible gooseneck reaches under wheel wells and along chassis.
-
Spots Hidden Camera Lenses - IR viewfinder reveals lenses up to 10m away, wired, wireless, or turned off. Works better in darkness; no room lights needed.
-
All-Day Battery - 20 hours per charge. Sweep multiple locations without stopping. Recharges in 4 hours via USB-C.
-
Silent Alert Mode - Vibration alerts instead of beeping so you can sweep discreetly. Switch between buzzer, vibration, or silent.
-
Pinpoint the Source - 20-level LED signal meter guides you closer with every step. Green = weak, red = you're on top of it.
Where You'll Use It
Hotel & Airbnb Check-In
Hidden cameras in rentals make the news regularly. Before you unpack, sweep the room. RF mode catches WiFi cameras streaming to the owner. Lens finder catches hardwired cameras recording to SD, no signal to detect, but the lens still reflects.
Vehicle GPS Tracker Sweep
Think someone's tracking your car? GPS trackers use strong magnets to stick under wheel wells, bumpers, or the chassis. They sleep between location pings — RF scanners miss them. The magnetic probe finds the mount whether the tracker is transmitting or not.
Home & Rental Privacy Check
Moving into a new place? Previous tenants, landlords, or contractors may have left something behind. RF sweep for transmitters. Magnetic probe for hidden trackers. Lens finder for cameras. Three checks, one device.
How It Works
RF mode scans for active wireless transmissions, bugs, trackers, cameras sending data. Magnet mode uses the flexible probe to detect magnetic mounts on metal surfaces. Lens finder shines infrared LEDs while you look through the filtered viewfinder, any camera lens reflects back as a bright pinpoint. No app. No WiFi needed. Rechargeable via USB-C. 20 hours per charge.

FAQ
1. Will this find cameras that are turned off or recording to SD card?
Yes. The IR lens finder detects the camera lens itself, not the signal. Turn off the lights, activate CAM mode, and slowly scan the room while looking through the red viewfinder. Any camera lens — on, off, wired, wireless, recording to SD — reflects the infrared light back as a bright pinpoint. Works up to 10 metres away.
2. Will this find a GPS tracker that's sleeping between pings?
Yes. Most GPS trackers sleep 90% of the time to save battery, they wake up, send location, then go dormant. RF detection misses them during sleep. The magnetic probe detects the neodymium magnet they use to stick to metal. Run the flexible gooseneck along wheel wells, under bumpers, behind the dashboard. If there's a magnet, the probe alerts, doesn't matter if the tracker is transmitting or not.
3. Won't it just detect my own WiFi router and phone?
It will. That's normal. The point is to find signals you don't recognise. Turn off your own devices first, or move away from them. In RF mode, walk the room slowly, a hidden bug will show as a signal source that shouldn't be there. The 20-level LED meter helps you triangulate: stronger signal = closer to source.
4. How long does it take to sweep a hotel room?
A thorough sweep takes 10-15 minutes. Start with RF mode to catch anything transmitting. Then switch to lens finder, lights off, scan walls, ceilings, smoke detectors, clocks, anything facing the bed or bathroom. Check the usual hiding spots: alarm clocks, phone chargers, air purifiers, picture frames, showerheads. The magnetic probe is mainly for vehicles, but worth running along any metal fixtures if you're suspicious.
5. Does the lens finder work in complete darkness?
Yes. Darkness is better. The IR LEDs provide the light, you don't need room lights on. In fact, a dark room makes hidden lenses easier to spot because the reflection stands out more against a dark background.
6. Is this legal to use in New Zealand?
Yes. Detection is legal anywhere you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, hotel rooms, Airbnbs, your vehicle, your home. This device only detects signals; it doesn't jam, block, or interfere with anything. You're not breaking any law by checking for hidden cameras in a rental.
