alt Hacker NewsHow does a 'camera detector' (/hidden device detector) detect the hidden camera/device? (curious as to whether they give many false-positives when used in real settings, e.g. airbnb or hotel room).

RF or EMF detection, magnetic field detection and an IR light plus filtered lens for visually checking for camera lenses.
Ye old k18 is still the $50 go to for foiling airbnb perverts.

what other comments said + characteristic reflection of camera lenses observed through the snake-oil-looking dichroic sighting glass.
It's an RF field strength meter. I watched about a half minute of the video then shut it off.
