ClearSight: Hidden Camera Scan

A privacy sweep you can actually trust — because we tell you what we find AND what we can't. Five layers. Runs on your iPhone. Nothing leaves your device.

Going somewhere unfamiliar? An Airbnb, vacation rental, or a space you don't fully trust?

ClearSight is a privacy awareness tool that helps you check your space for hidden cameras and tracking devices — using only your iPhone. Built for travelers, professionals on the road, hosts checking their own rentals, and anyone who wants more confidence about a space.

FIVE WAYS TO CHECK A SPACE

Network Scan Surfaces signs of cameras and IoT devices on the local Wi-Fi — open RTSP streaming ports, ONVIF responses, camera-vendor service announcements, and port patterns common to Hikvision, Dahua, Wyze, Ring, and generic IP cameras. Each device is shown with the evidence behind its classification, so you can judge for yourself.

Bluetooth & Tracker Scan Detects nearby Bluetooth trackers — including AirTags, Tile, Samsung SmartTag, Chipolo, and Pebblebee. Because iOS hides AirTag identifying data from third-party apps, we flag matches as "Possible AirTag" rather than overclaiming — but the underlying detection (manufacturer codes, signal behavior) still catches the most common scenarios. Also surfaces unknown Bluetooth devices with unusually strong or persistent signals.

Infrared (IR) Camera Scan Helps reveal cameras using night vision. IR LEDs are invisible to your eyes but show up to your phone's camera in a dark room. Sweep slowly and watch for bright points — most warrant investigation, though some household electronics (TVs, remotes) can also produce small IR glints.

Lens Detector Uses your flashlight and optical retroreflection to spot hidden camera lenses — including unpowered ones. Works best when the lens roughly faces the phone, ambient light is low, and you move slowly. Small or recessed lenses are harder to catch. Use it as a thorough sweep, not a guarantee.

Physical Inspection Guide 30 guided checkpoints for the highest-risk hiding spots — smoke detectors, alarm clocks, air vents, screw holes, decorative objects. Catches things technology can't reach.

TRAVEL MODE A guided 5-step room sweep that runs every layer in the right order. Designed for the first 10 minutes after you check in.

PERIODIC RE-SCAN Optionally re-runs the network scan during your stay. Notifies you when the device list changes — useful for awareness, though new devices have many normal causes (guests' phones, smart TVs powering up).

ROUTER PORT CHECK Scans the gateway router for open ports and exposed services that could indicate remote streaming or unusual configuration. Useful for spotting setups where cameras stream to the internet without obvious signs on the device itself.

PRIVACY THAT ISN'T A PROMISE — IT'S AN ARCHITECTURE

Everything ClearSight detects stays on your device. Scan results, device lists, photos, reports — never uploaded. ClearSight does not send telemetry or phone home. Apple provides us aggregated install and retention metrics through App Store Connect; nothing in those analytics identifies you.

WHERE CLEARSIGHT WORKS BEST

Most effective in short-term rentals, Airbnbs, friends' homes, and spaces where the host runs the same Wi-Fi the guest is using. Less effective in hotels and large venues, where surveillance cameras are typically isolated on management networks that no guest-side scanner can reach. The IR scan, lens detector, Bluetooth scan, and physical checklist still work in any environment.

WHAT CLEARSIGHT IS NOT

ClearSight is a privacy awareness aid, not a certified security instrument. No scanning technology — including professional-grade equipment — can guarantee 100% detection of every possible surveillance device. Cameras using cellular networks, offline storage-only devices, or equipment on a separate network fall outside what any Wi-Fi scanner can reach. Use ClearSight alongside physical inspection for the most thorough check.
