Inspect unfamiliar spaces with more confidence.
Findy helps you carry out a guided privacy inspection using camera-assisted checks, Bluetooth discovery, local-network scanning and your iPhone's sensors — and tells you honestly what each method can and cannot find.
- No account or sign-up
- No analytics or tracking SDKs
- Scan results stay on your device
Findy is an inspection aid, not professional counter-surveillance equipment. No mobile app can guarantee detection of every hidden camera, microphone, tracker or recording device. Findy cannot see powered-off devices, wired cameras with no network presence, or anything on a different network. Read the full limitations.
Five ways to inspect a room
Findy combines several inspection techniques because no single scan identifies every possible device. Each one has failure modes, and each is documented.
Guided visual inspection
A checklist of the objects worth examining first: smoke detectors, chargers, clocks, vents, mirrors and decorative objects. The most reliable method is still your own eyes.
Camera-assisted inspection
Use the iPhone camera to look for lens reflections and possible infrared light sources in low light — sources that are easy to miss unaided.
Local-network discovery
Review devices reachable on the Wi-Fi you are connected to, and see which expose the ports and services that IP cameras and recorders commonly use.
Bluetooth discovery
List nearby Bluetooth devices that are advertising, with an estimated distance and direction derived from signal strength — a warmer/colder aid, not a measurement.
Sensor-assisted checks
Use the iPhone magnetometer to investigate unusual magnetic readings around one specific physical object.
Each method has limitations. Findy combines multiple inspection techniques because no single scan can identify every possible device — and it labels uncertain results as showing camera-related indicators, with the reason, rather than announcing a confirmed find.
Results you can interpret
A reflection is not a camera. An unknown device is not a threat. Findy tells you what it actually observed and why something was flagged, so you can decide what to do next.
What a useful result looks like
Shows camera-related indicators
Findy shows the reason it marked the device:
- "Name matches <keyword>" — the device name contains a camera-related term
- "Streaming/surveillance service" — it advertises a video service on the network
- An open port associated with cameras, or a first appearance since your last scan
One reason is shown, not a score. How to read a result.
What we refuse to show you
Hidden camera confirmed
Findy cannot verify that any object is a camera. Claiming otherwise would be dishonest and would send people to confront strangers or dismantle property over a reflection from a screw head. Findy reports what it observed and why — never a verdict.
