Features & Capabilities

The #1 glint finder app on Google Play! Glint Finder uses the retro-reflection of the camera flash to allow the user to better identify shiny objects in the camera's field of view. Works great for locating hidden camera lens elements - also for finding dropped parts or contact lenses!

As mentioned in "The Secrets to Finding Hidden Cameras" at Techlicious.com - https://www.techlicious.com/tip/the-secrets-to-finding-hidden-cameras/

Glint Finder uses the same principle as the tools used by professionals to help search for and find the lens glint given off by hidden spy camera optics.
- Set the device's flash rate in cycles per second (Hz).
- Adjust device's flash duty cycle.
- Toggle the image polarity to help highlight glints.
The lens optics of hidden cameras produce specular reflection when illuminated with a flash. These retro-reflections show up as highlights or hotspots in the image that stand out as the flash toggles on and off. These are tell-tales used by skilled operators to sweep meeting areas and indoor rooms for hidden cameras.

Note: the flash rate and duty cycle capability will depend on your particular device's capability.

App does not work. Once installed. It flashes the screen after telling me that it was made for an older version of Android. The app continued to open and close immediately during several more attempts to start the app. DO NOT INSTALL ! !
