INTRODUCTION
Every day we read about new threats to our personal privacy. Wireless spy cameras, listening
devices (“bugs”) and GPS car trackers are now available to everyone. As a result, we must
constantly be vigilant about privacy intrusions in our homes, hotels, gyms and vehicles. The Hidden
Camera and Bug Detector uses military-grade technology to detect wireless signals and magnetic
fields created by covert spy devices, so you can feel safe and secure in your surroundings. As
with all advanced electronics, the more you use the Hidden Camera and Bug Detector, the more
proficient you will become in detecting hidden spy devices.
NOTE: This device does not capture sound or video, and it does not prevent signals. It is an anti-
spying device that helps you find hidden electronic equipment such as wireless spy cameras,
listening bugs and GPS trackers.
FEATURES
• Portable wireless signal and magnetic field detection device
• Detects wireless pinhole cameras, wireless nanny cameras, wireless surveillance cameras, GPS
car trackers, 2G/3G/4G signals from SIM card bugs and other security devices
• LED laser technology detects wired and wireless cameras in standby mode
• Detects CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) signals that conventional radio wave detectors
cannot
• Detects electromagnetic radiation in your home or workplace
• Adjustable detection range
• 10 levels of detection with buzzer or silent (vibration) alerts
• Military-grade technology
• Detects devices in areas up to 160 sq. ft. (15 sq. meters)
• Easy to use — the closer the detector gets to a transmitting spy device, the louder and faster
the alert becomes
POTENTIAL USES
• To detect secret cameras in hotel rooms, restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, etc.
• To detect a listening device (bug) in your home, office or corporate boardroom
• To detect a GPS vehicle tracker on your car
• To detect if your mobile phone is being eavesdropped (i.e., a signal is being emitted when your
phone is not in use)
• To detect base station radiation in or around your home
• To detect cheating devices in casinos

7. Strong Magnetic Detection mode button.
8. Camera Detection mode button.
9. Intelligent Detection mode button.
10. USB charging port
11. Charging indicator. Automatically turns off when the battery is fully charged.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Install the antenna.
2. Install the Magnetic Field Probe.
3. Turn the Power knob clockwise. You will hear a long beep as the device enters detection
mode. The LED main screen lights up to indicate normal operation.

RF WIRELESS SIGNAL DETECTION
1. Turn on the Power and adjust the knob to the first stage of the signal strength pointer to
enter the standby mode. The code-type signal strength indicator is divided into 10 levels in 4
color-coded fields: White, Green, Yellow and Red:
White = Safe
Green = Suspicious
Yellow = Danger
Red = Locked onto signal source
2. During normal detection, first adjust the pointer to the white part of the LED display
(between 1 and 2). If there is a strong signal environment, the pointer will fluctuate back and
forth, and the buzzing alarm will be activated. The closer the detector gets to a transmitting
spy device, the louder and faster the alert becomes, until it becomes an uninterrupted alarm
(level 10).
3. The detection range can be set with the power/sensitivity knob. The higher the level of
adjustment, the wider the range. (If the buzzer alarm is not working when the red area is
adjusted, the pointer has no fluctuation. That is, there is no signal in a wide range.)
NOTE: If you are using this device in a city or metropolitan environment, you must adjust the
sensitivity knob gradually to check for suspicious devices. Otherwise, you may pick up stray
signals.
MAGNETIC FIELD DETECTION
1. Install the Magnetic Field Probe.
2. Turn on the power, and then press the Strong Magnetic Detection button.
3. When the purple light is on, the device is in magnetic field signal detection standby mode.
4. Use the magnetic field probe to scan a vehicle or a room. If a magnetic field (spying device)
is detected, the LEDs will light up and the buzzer will sound.
NOTE: Magnetic locators and eavesdroppers are mostly used in cars, often hidden in the bottom
of the car, or inside the car. Use the Magnetic Field Probe to search inside the car, under the car,
under the hood and in the trunk.
CAMERA DETECTION
1. Turn on the power, and then press the Camera Detection button.
2. The scanning function is turned on at this point, and the laser scanning light on the back
flashes.
3. Scan in a fixed range of the Scanning Window. If a suspicious reflective spot is found, the
buzzer will sound. Turn the sensitivity knob to widen the range if needed.

INTELLIGENT DETECTION MODE
1. Turn on the power
2. Press the Intelligent Detection button. The device enters the Intelligent Search mode, and the
device will automatically identify, classify and record a suspicious signal with intensity above
8 every minute.
3. As a signal source transmits the signal, the device will automatically alarm five times (the
LED pointer is at level 1, and the buzzer alarm will be uninterrupted to indicate the presence
of a suspicious signal nearby.) This function is mainly used to detect intermittent devices
that turn on and off automatically throughout the day.
IMPORTANT - SCANNING FOR GPS CAR TRACKERS
Due to the high sensitivity of this device, you may receive signals such as TV broadcasts such as
mobile phone base stations while scanning for GPS car trackers. It may be necessary to drive your
car to a place where signal sources are relatively weak. In addition, we recommend you turn off
your cellular phone while scanning for GPS car trackers.
FALSE ALARMS
If there is an alarm where there is obviously no suspicious object, there are several possibilities:
1. You are detecting your own communication equipment.
2. The suspicious objects is next door.
3. You are too close to a wireless router. (In this case, adjust the sensitivity knob.)
