CLUSTER CAMERAS-HIDDEN-BLUETOOTH · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-09-04
Hidden camera detection apps
This cluster consists of mobile apps that scan Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks and use infrared, magnetic, and other sensor clues to detect hidden cameras, suspicious devices, and spyware. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only two dated entries before the index started, so it likely predates the index or its members are undated. The traction leader is CardputerRemote with 9 stars, while homewatch-android and n0rma-android each have 1 star.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 17 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
