FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know about SenseRadar, answered plainly.
How does SenseRadar work?
SenseRadar combines six detection layers — WiFi network analysis, Bluetooth (BLE) scanning, AI-powered optical lens detection, ultrasonic acoustic analysis, EMF measurement and LiDAR structural scanning — using the radios and sensors already built into your phone. Suspicious signals are plotted on a radar view so you can locate their source.
Which devices can it detect?
Hidden WiFi and IP cameras, Bluetooth trackers such as AirTags, active listening and recording devices that emit ultrasonic or electromagnetic signatures, and physical anomalies like cavities behind mirrors or panels where hardware may be embedded.
Do I need extra hardware?
No. SenseRadar uses only your phone's built-in sensors: WiFi and Bluetooth radios, camera, microphone, magnetometer and — on supported models — the LiDAR scanner.
Does it work offline?
Yes. All six detection layers run entirely on your device, and you can scan in airplane mode. Only two optional features need a connection: the AI Sniper photo analysis and the AI network risk report. The WiFi layer naturally requires joining the local network you want to inspect.
Where does my data go?
Scan results, camera frames and audio analysis stay on your phone, and the app requires no account or sign-up. If you explicitly trigger an optional AI analysis, only anonymized device vendor info — or the single photo you submit with AI Sniper — is sent for processing and is not stored. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Which phones support the LiDAR scan?
The LiDAR layer requires an iPhone with a LiDAR sensor (iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro / Pro Max models). All other five layers work on every supported iPhone.
Is detection 100% guaranteed?
No tool can honestly promise 100%. Sophisticated devices can be powered off or shielded. SenseRadar's multi-layer approach dramatically raises the odds of detection, and we recommend combining scans with a quick physical inspection of high-risk spots.
How should I scan a hotel room or rental?
Start the radar sweep as soon as you arrive, walk each room slowly, then aim the optical scan at bedrooms and bathrooms — especially smoke detectors, alarm clocks, outlets, air purifiers and anything pointing at the bed or shower.
What should I do if I find a device?
Do not touch or unplug it. Photograph it in place, cover it with a towel if needed, move out of its view, and report it to the property host and local police. Preserving it untouched helps any investigation.
Is there an Android version?
SenseRadar is currently built for iOS, where sensor access such as LiDAR enables the deepest scans. Visit the App Store page for current availability and pricing.
