## Description

**Hidden Device Detector - DarkEye** is a powerful privacy tool designed to help you identify hidden cameras, microphones, and spying devices in any location such as homes, hotels, or restaurants. It uses your phone's magnetic field sensor and camera to detect electromagnetic radiation and invisible infrared light emitted by surveillance equipment.

The app features a **Background Video Recorder** that lets you record videos discreetly while using other apps or with the screen off, capturing important moments without detection. It offers two detection methods: a radiation meter that beeps when it detects a strong magnetic field, guiding you to hidden electronic devices, and an infrared light detector that enhances visibility of invisible infrared signals from hidden cameras.

While the app ensures privacy and security, users are advised to manually confirm detected devices as the app doesn't access personal data and cannot guarantee 100% detection due to device limitations. Hidden Device Detector DarkEye is an essential tool for anyone seeking to protect their privacy against unauthorized surveillance.
