Check a hotel room for hidden-camera clues, step by step.
In an unfamiliar room, a defined inspection sequence is more useful than guessing at every small light. ClearRoom brings visual guidance and device clues into one iPhone workflow, with limits explained along the way.
Start with the room and its ordinary objects
Follow the illustrated visual inspection and look at objects in the environment. The lens viewer provides focus, zoom and a flashlight when you want to inspect a possible reflection more closely.
A reflection, status light or unfamiliar device is not enough to identify a camera. Use the guide to investigate the clue rather than treating the app as an automatic detector. Do not interpret a completed checklist as proof that the space is camera-free.
Add network and optional light checks
On the connected Wi-Fi, ClearRoom checks for device and service clues and explains the next step. Bluetooth announcements add nearby device-supplied information. These tools cannot verify every device's identity or see every device in a room.
You can also try the optional infrared sweep, first testing the selected phone camera with a TV remote. Some cameras emit no infrared, sensitivity varies between phones, and ordinary equipment can emit infrared too. A negative result cannot rule out a hidden camera.
Before you finish
- Work through visual guidance instead of relying on one sensor.
- Read the explanation and coverage of network results.
- Treat unexplained findings as clues requiring further inspection.
Questions before you start
Can ClearRoom certify a hotel room is safe?
No. It is an inspection aid and cannot certify a room as camera-free.
Will Wi-Fi checks find an offline camera?
No. Cameras that are offline, isolated or on a different network can be missed.
