1.3.2. Main parts location is shown on Picture 2.
Picture 2 –main parts location
The device consists of a shockproof ABS plastic with located therein:
- Lens;
- LED emitter (8 LEDs around the lens);
- Charging and operation modes indicator (5 green LEDs on the rear panel);
- External power supply/ net adapter socket;
- Display;
- ON/OFF button, mode switch button;
- Additional nearby zone LEDs (4 green LEDs on the front panel).
1.4. Components and Functioning

1.4.1 Functioning principle of the device is to reverse the flare effect. The device emits light and registers the
back coming radiation (including the reflected glare from the lenses of hidden cameras). As the brightness of
the camera lens reflected ray is several times higher than the reflection from other objects, it is easy to
determine camera location.
1.4.2 The product is based on a microcontroller with preinstalled software.
1.4.3 Device power supply is realizes using the battery or the supplied external power source (AC adapter)
with an output voltage DC 5V C. The external power supply is connected through the socket (see Picture 2).
The polarity of the socket is shown on Picture 3

Note: the battery is developed for the entire device life and does not require replacement during the
operation.
2. Intended use
2.1 Operating limitations
2.1.1 It is prohibited to direct the device to your own or another person’s eye.
2.1.2 When storing the product in cold place or winter transportation the device should be kept at room
temperature for two hours.
2.2 Use of Products
WARNING! Before the first use, please, charge full battery with the network adapter supplied.
2.2.1 To get a successful result, be aware, that the detection of hidden cameras depends on the frequency of
generated flares:
Switch modes (frequency of flashes) by briefly pressing the button, located on the rear panel of the product.
It is recommended to select a frequency, at which the glare of flares is most noticeable.
Current flashing mode is displayed by one of the LEDs located next to "ON / OFF" button on the rear panel
of the device.
2.2.2 Batteries must have sufficient charge for operation of the device. If SOC reaches its minimum level
while functioning, the LEDs on the rear panel flashes for a short time and the product turns off. To continue,
you can connect an external power source (AC adapter), which comes supplied with the device.
2.2.3 The external power supply (AC adapter) is also used as a charger. On the first stage charging is
realized by moderate current (fast running light on the indicator and functioning modes), on the second -
current decreases (slowly running light). When charge controller reaches full battery charge, the device
automatically stops charging process.
2.2.4 Although the device uses in Ni-MH batteries, which have no memory effect and can be stored
discharged, to increase their service life it is recommended charging the batteries for one cycle after they are
fully discharged.

2.2.5 The device is easy to use and does not require special skills. The device makes possible detecting any
camera lens at 20 meters distance. Detection range depends on the ambient light.
2.2.6 Turning ON the device is made by a button in the middle of the rear panel by pressing and holding it
for at least 2 seconds. After the device is turned ON, LEDs located around the lens begin to flash. Then, by
briefly pressing power button select the frequency of LED emitter flashes. It is recommended to choose the
lowest flash frequency in a darkened room and highest in a light one.
Once selected the frequency, find hidden cameras looking through the lens (instructions can be found
in Section 2.3). You'll see bright flares where a hidden camera is located - it's a back glare from the camera
lens (see Pic. 4). If you see a glaring spot, examine this place closely and determine the flare source

2.2.8 Turn off the product by pressing and holding the button on the rear panel, not less than 2 seconds.
2.3. Tips to detect hidden cameras
The basic rule in detecting of hidden cameras is that the detection should be done in a place that could
possibly interest a person, who installed it there. The most likely locations of camera installation are those
places, which could be well seen, employee’s desks, recreational facilities (chairs, sofas, etc.), doorways.
The camera can be installed in the corners ceiling cavity, ventilating shaft, piece of furniture (wardrobe,
mezzanine, etc.), domestic items, audio-video equipment, etc.
Be aware that cameras can be different. Finding one or two cameras does not mean that the room is
completely cleared. To be absolutely sure in your safety, it is necessary to check all the places, from where
hidden recording could be realized.
To define what glare type you see - hidden camera lens or simply smooth surface reflection (such as glass or
mirrors) - can be checked by moving to the side and observing the same area with the device. In case of a
simple blink, it will disappear or lose its intensity, while the camera lens reflection will remain at the same
place and will not change flashing intensity while you remain in the device visual field.
Be aware that the optimal operating distance is less than 20 meters, and that the camera can be detected only
being in its visual field. Therefore, for the most efficient monitoring it is recommended to test the most
suspicious places from different angles.
