Sweep hotels, offices, and vehicles for hidden cameras, live-listening microphones, and GPS trackers. Wideband RF detection combined with optical lens scanning exposes both active wireless bugs and wired cameras for professional counter-surveillance.
Key Features
- Wideband Threat Detection — Scans the 50 MHz–6.0 GHz spectrum to find 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and GSM listening devices.
- Hear Wireless Bugs — Acoustic display mode lets you listen to the audio from analog FM transmitters (hidden microphones) directly through the speaker or earphone.
- Finds Non-Transmitting Cameras — Optical lens finder mode reflects light from any camera lens, revealing wired or powered-off cameras.
- Intelligent Wi-Fi Filtering — Identifies and can ignore constant, harmless Wi-Fi signals to reduce false alerts, while still detecting suspicious Wi-Fi IP cameras.
- Power Bank Compatible — Supports external power from a 5V power bank for extended-duration sweeps and long-term monitoring.
- Discreet & Silent Operation — Use the silent earphone or vibration warning modes for a professional, discreet sweep in any environment.
Deployment Scenarios
Meeting Confidentiality
Sweep meeting rooms, boardrooms, and offices before sensitive discussions. The wideband scan identifies 4G and Wi-Fi transmitters, while the acoustic display can expose analog FM microphones by letting you hear what they hear.
Vehicle Oversight
Professionally scan a vehicle's interior and exterior for hidden GPS trackers or listening bugs. The adjustable sensitivity helps pinpoint the exact location of a transmitting device, confirming if a vehicle is compromised.
How It Works
This detector operates in three distinct modes. In RF Detection mode, the wideband antenna scans the 50 MHz to 6.0 GHz spectrum. In Lens Finder mode, the device emits a high-intensity red light; when this light hits a camera lens, it reflects back brightly, revealing its location. In Acoustic mode, the unit demodulates analog FM signals, allowing you to listen to transmissions from hidden microphones and distinguish them from harmless radio broadcasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- 1. Will this detector find 5G and Wi-Fi cameras?
- Yes. Its 6.0 GHz scanning range is designed to detect modern wireless threats, including 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth transmitters. It also has a filter to help ignore stable Wi-Fi routers, reducing false alarms.
- 2. Can it find wired cameras that are turned off?
- Yes. The dedicated Optical Lens Finder mode does not rely on RF signals. It finds any camera lens (wired or wireless, on or off) by detecting the physical reflection from the lens itself.
- 3. Can I hear what a bug is transmitting?
- Yes. The "Acoustic Display" mode allows you to listen to analog FM wireless microphones (bugs). Audio monitoring and recording laws vary by state in Australia; always ensure lawful use.
- 4. How is this powered for long jobs?
- The device runs on 4 x AAA batteries or can be plugged in via a 5V DC adaptor. It also supports being powered by an external USB power bank for extended use.
