Know before you buy
The device uses an optical lens detection method. When you look through the viewfinder and activate the LEDs, the bright light reflects off the camera's glass lens, causing it to appear as a distinct, blinking red dot.
Yes. Because it uses optical reflection rather than radio frequency (RF) scanning, it can detect any camera lens regardless of whether it is wired, wireless, or recording locally to an SD card.
It is designed for simplicity. You simply look through the viewfinder and press a button to activate the LEDs, then scan the room for any unusual reflections.
The Scout runs on two standard AAA batteries. These are easily replaceable, so you won't have to worry about the device becoming obsolete once the power runs out.
The kit includes a practice lens, which allows you to test the device and get comfortable identifying the reflection pattern before you use it in a hotel or rental property.
The product includes lifetime technical support. If you have questions about how to scan a room or interpret what you are seeing, you can reach out to the support team for guidance.
