Protect Yourself Now

Policies don't protect you. Technology does.

DETECTION SUITE

Five detection sensors. One room sweep.

Professional counter-surveillance teams use multiple detection methods. Now your phone does the same.

WiFi Network Scan

Discovers every device on the network via ARP scanning. Identifies camera manufacturers by MAC address, probes surveillance ports (554, 8554, 80, 8080), and matches firmware signatures. Detects camera WiFi hotspots nearby.

PRO

Bluetooth Scanner

Detects AirTags, SmartTags, Tile trackers, and unknown Bluetooth beacons tracking your location.

FREE

IR Camera Mode

Night-vision cameras use invisible IR LEDs. Your front camera sees them. Screen dims automatically — sweep the room and IR sources glow bright. Smart analysis confirms infrared sources in your captures.

PRO

EM Field Scanner

Magnetometer readings with baseline calibration detect electromagnetic anomalies from hidden electronics. Contextual guidance helps you sweep behind walls, inside objects, and under furniture.

FREE

Physical Inspection Guide

Guided 10-point checklist: smoke detectors, outlets, clocks, vents, mirrors — the most common hiding spots.

PRO

Evidence Reports

Branded PDFs with timestamped findings, device details, and threat levels. Includes a professional evidence narrative for law enforcement, Airbnb disputes, or legal use.

PRO
HOW IT WORKS

FAQ

Hidden camera detector FAQ.

Does this actually work? Or is it a gimmick?
It works. WiFi scanning discovers cameras by identifying surveillance manufacturers (Hikvision, Dahua, etc.) and checking for open RTSP/HTTP streaming ports — the same technique professional sweepers use. IR detection works because your phone's front camera can see infrared light that's invisible to your eyes. No single method catches everything, which is why Veilbreaker combines five.
Why Android only?
iOS locks down the APIs needed for real network scanning. Apple doesn't let apps read ARP tables, scan WiFi networks, or do background Bluetooth monitoring. Android gives full sensor access, which is why every serious counter-surveillance tool is Android-first.
Is my scan data private?
100%. All scans run locally on your device. Network data, Bluetooth results, and IR captures never leave your phone unless you export a report or use smart analysis. The free tier doesn't even require an account — we literally can't see your data.
Can I use reports for Airbnb disputes or police reports?
Yes. Reports include timestamps, device details, threat classifications, and screenshots — exactly what Airbnb needs for policy violation claims. Users have successfully used Veilbreaker reports for full refunds. For criminal matters, consult legal counsel about admissibility.
What if it finds nothing?
A clean sweep across all five tools is a strong indicator. WiFi catches network cameras. Bluetooth catches trackers. IR catches night-vision cameras. EM catches powered electronics. Physical check covers hiding spots. No tool is 100%, but five together give high confidence.
How do I cancel?
Cancel anytime in your account settings. Pro features stay active until the end of your billing period. No fees, no guilt trips.
Can my phone detect hidden cameras?
Yes. Your phone has a WiFi radio that can scan networks for camera manufacturers and open video ports. It has a Bluetooth radio that can detect AirTags and tracking beacons. And your front camera can pick up infrared light from night-vision cameras. Veilbreaker connects all of these into one guided sweep.
How do I check for hidden cameras in an Airbnb or hotel?
Connect to the room's WiFi and open Veilbreaker. Run the WiFi scan to discover every device on the network — cameras show up by manufacturer name and open streaming ports. Then sweep with the IR camera mode in the dark to spot night-vision LEDs. Check common hiding spots like smoke detectors, chargers, and clocks with the physical inspection guide. The whole process takes about three minutes.
Can Veilbreaker detect AirTags and Bluetooth trackers?
Yes. The Bluetooth scanner detects Apple AirTags, Samsung SmartTags, Tile trackers, and unknown BLE beacons near you. It's part of the free tier — no account or payment required. Unlike Apple's own Tracker Detect app, Veilbreaker scans continuously and flags persistent unknown beacons.
