Camera Detectors

🔍 Camera Detectors – Find Hidden Cameras & Protect Your Privacy

Whether you’re staying in an Airbnb, travelling for work, or simply want peace of mind at home, a camera detector is now essential. Hidden cameras are more common than ever — and with affordable detection tools starting under $100, there’s no reason to take risks.

At OzSpy, we’ve helped over 150,000 Australians since 1998.

🧠 How Camera Detectors Work

Camera detectors fall into two main categories:

  • RF Detectors – Scan for wireless signals (WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM) often emitted by hidden cameras, listening devices, or GPS trackers.

  • Lens Detectors – Use flashing LEDs and a viewfinder to reveal concealed camera lenses by detecting their reflective “sparkle.”

For the best protection, choose a dual-mode unit or carry both types. Even a low-cost lens detector is far better than nothing.

📱 Travel-Friendly & Easy to Use

Many compact detectors are small enough to fit on a keychain, making them perfect for:

  • Hotels and short-stay accommodation

  • Bathrooms and changing rooms

  • Meeting rooms or sensitive workplaces

  • Your own home, rental, or AirBNB property

🧰 What to Look For in a Camera Detector

Not all detectors are the same. Here’s what makes a good one:

  • Frequency Range – Higher range = better detection of advanced threats

  • Lens Finder Mode – Ideal for catching hidden cameras even if powered off

  • Sensitivity Adjustment – Reduce false positives in busy signal environments

  • Multi-function – Some units detect GPS, RF, lenses, and even EMR

🎯 Common Frequencies Detected

Most threats use known frequency bands, such as:

  • 2.4GHz (WiFi, Bluetooth, many wireless cameras)

  • 5GHz (newer WiFi systems)

  • 80–120MHz (VHF/FM)

  • GSM/LTE bands for SIM-based bugs

  • Low-frequency signals used by older devices

Advanced units will filter background noise and even display the detected frequency.

🧪 Want to Go Pro?

We also offer advanced tools for professionals and serious investigators:

  • NLJD (Non-Linear Junction Detectors) – Detect even powered-off electronics

  • Spectrum Analysers – Visualise live radio frequency activity

  • Multi-scanners – Combine lens, RF, GPS, EMR, and IR in one handheld unit

For beginners, these aren’t essential — but they’re the gold standard if you’re sweeping professionally.
