Purpose
Digital Hidden video cameras detector "ARCANE" is designed for remote detection and localization of
powered hidden video cameras which are installed outside, indoors, concealed as objects or body-worn.
ARCANE is able to detect both analogue and digital cameras regardless of concealment and video
transmission methods. Thus, unlike the detectors of video cameras operating on the optical principle or
nonlinear locators, "ARCANE" does not require a close monotonous inspection of the entire room, people
and objects, but allows you to determine the presence of a hidden video camera near you and then find
it in seconds.
ARCANE SEL MAX has a built-in magnetic antenna, and also has the ability to communicate via Bluetooth
with a smartphone to control and transmit information to it, which allows you to instantly detect the
presence of nearby (from 1 to 2 meters) hidden video cameras and search for them unnoticed by others.
The detector is equipped with a docking station for charging the device on the desktop.
Operating principle
ARCANE differs by its simple control, at the same time essentially is a unique "pocket" high-precision
electronic measuring complex consisting of a high-speed measuring receiver of electromagnetic
interference (EMF receiver), a signal spectrum analyzer and a microcomputer for data processing.
ARCANE's operating principle is based on detection and analysis of specific parts of electromagnetic
spectrum in order to find stray emission which is unique for video camera electronic circuits.
Detecting electromagnetic noise signals similar to emissions from video cameras, ARCANE examines and
analyzes them for all spectral components, comparing them with the "images" of signals stored in the
device's memory, as well as the presence of lowercase or frame pulses in them, using a specially
developed technology Row Detect Tech (RDT).
IMPORTANT TO KNOW! Spurious radiation from some digital circuits, which are used in video players,
laptops, automotive electronics, etc. may coincide with the “images” of video cameras, therefore, the
device provides independent formation of a “white” list of signals from localized “non-hazardous” sources
- this allows them to be automatically excluded during further hidden video cameras and video recorders
search works.

ARCANE Overview
Working with ARCANE device
To turn on the device, press the power button and hold it until the ARCANE logo will appear on the screen
(information about the firmware version is displayed at the bottom of the screen)
ARCANE automatically switches to the search mode of signals and video cameras
Information about detected video cameras and suspicious signals is displayed on the
"main screen" of the device - there are "cells" with numbers (bin file) in the form of
table cells, the fields of which are highlighted in shades of red (depending on the
degree of probability of matching with the "images" of cameras) or lilac (when a line
or frame pulses RDT is detected in the signal).

The main screen consists of two pages in the form of tables with cells
The battery level is displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen, the current position of the device's
operating mode is in the center, and the screen page designation is on the left. The active buttons are
located at the bottom of the screen
On first page displays information about the video
cameras found by the device and the detected signals.
On second page displays information about devices
that are included in the “white” list of non-dangerous
signals.
Switching of pages is made by the button in the lower
right corner of the screen.
Information About ETH Signals of Digital Sources
The detected signals emitted from devices, which are using Ethernet protocol
(IP cameras, computers, Wi-Fi routers, switches and other peripheral devices)
are grouped in the “ETH” cell (the cell is colored in red).
To view the list of detected signals, press and hold for two seconds with your
finger or stylus on the “ETH” cell.
Search for Video Cameras and Signal Sources Detected by the Device
Press and hold the selected table cell for two seconds with your finger or
stylus, and a multi-colored scale (column) with the signal level will appear on
the screen. To the left of the scale, information about the signal is displayed.
Moving with the device around the room (territory), achieve the maximum
readings of the received level. Find and identify the source of the signal.
If the source is “non-dangerous”, move it to the “white list” by pressing the
“W” button. To return to the main screen, press the “X” button.

Adding Cell to “White List”
By creating a "white list" of non-dangerous signals, you increase the speed of "ARCANE" in the search
mode for newly appearing video camera signals. After the power is turned off, the "white list" is
automatically erased and when a new search is made, such signals will again become "red".
To move the cameras to the "white" list from the home screen, first touch the
selected cell with your finger or stylus (it is highlighted with a white border),
and then click on the "W" button –the cell with information automatically
moves to the second page of the screen and turns green.
The device provides a mode for automatically transferring all currently
detected signals to the "white" list. To do this, on the main screen, without
selecting a specific cell, press the "W" button. You will be asked to start the
automatic detection mode and transfer signals to the "white" list.
In order for the information about the "non-dangerous signals" to be saved
after switching off, it must be written to the long-term flash memory of the
device.
To do this, select a single cell (highlighted with a
white border) and press the "ROM" button, you will
be asked to write the information to the internal
memory of the device. The stored cell will be
displayed with the "*" icon. Pressing the "W" button-
returns the information back to the home screen.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW! Information from the "ARCANE" Flash memory is automatically erased when
updating the firmware!
