Hidden Camera Guides
How to check a room properly — what to look for, which scan finds which kind of device, and how to tell a real hit from a screw head.
Everything here is written to be used in a real room, not read as theory. Each guide states what a method actually detects, what it will falsely flag, and where it stops working — because a check you trust too much is worse than no check at all.

Stalkerware signs that actually mean something, the iPhone settings to check, and what order to act in.
Start here if you are in a hurry
If you have just walked into a room and want the short version: draw the curtains, scan every surface that faces the bed with the lens scan, run a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scan while you unpack, and repeat the visual sweep with the infrared check once the room is dark. That covers the great majority of what a consumer device does. The full guide explains why that order matters.
