# Privacy & detection guides

> Practical, field-tested guides on finding hidden cameras, listening devices and trackers — written by the SenseRadar team.

These articles explain, step by step, what to look for when you suspect you are being watched in a rental, a hotel room or your own car. Every guide is based on real cases and sourced research, with a link next to each figure.

You can follow most of the steps without any app: a flashlight, your phone camera and a careful eye often go a long way. SenseRadar's six layers speed these checks up and turn invisible signals into something you can measure.

Each article opens with a short answer you can read in a minute, then walks through the checks step by step, ends with common questions and shows when it was last updated.
