VIZIR
Hidden Camera Detector

1. Purpose
Vizir Hidden Camera Detector is designed to detect and
locate hidden video cameras (camouflaged in the interior) of
the 'pinhole' type according to the optic parameters and
regardless of their status (on / off).
2. Technical Characteristics
Camera lens is detected and localized by the light location
method.
When a hidden camera lens is detected, there will be a
spot of green or red in the lens of the Vizir device. That is
the result of illumination reflection from the video camera.

3. Installing the Batteries
ATTENTION! The device is powered from the built-in
(removable) battery of SD14500 type.
It is allowed to replace the battery while operating the
device.
To replace the battery:
- unscrew four screws securing the cover
- dismantle the cover to get to power supply container
- remove the battery from the power container
- install a new rechargeable battery of SD14500 type into
the power container observing polarity on the container
- install the cover and fix it with the screws
- charge the battery (see p. 4).
4. Battery Charging
ATTENTION! Before using the device, charge the
rechargeable battery. The battery is charged when the
device is off.
The rechargeable battery is charged using the charger
from the delivery set.
Connect the charger to the 220V (50Hz) network.
Connect the charger to the device to the CHARGE socket.
When the charger is connected to the device, there will be
a red CHARGE indicator on the device, marking the
beginning of the charging process.
When the rechargeable battery is charged, the CHARGE
indicator changes its color to green.
4

Disconnect the charger off the device, then off the 220 V
network.
The device is ready to start operating.
ATTENTION! When the device is stored for a long time,
it must be recharged at least once every 3 months.
5. Controls
Turn the device on/off using the ON / OFF button.
Press the ON / OFF button to turn on the device. When
the device is switched on, a green indicator is on.
Press the ON / OFF button again to turn off the device
(the indicator is off).
Switch the backlight modes using RED / GREEN control
button.
When the device is on, pressing and holding the RED /
GREEN control button switches the lighting mode of the
device.
Press RED for red light. Press GREEN for green light.
Adjust the focus of the device using a focusing ring
located at the top of the binocular and a dioptric correction
ring on the right eyepiece.
Adjust interpupillary distance by moving the eyepieces.
6. Device Functional Testing
Set the test pinhole lens (not in the delivery set) at a
distance of 2-3 meters in the way that the lens focuses
5

directly on the place where you will be standing. Turn on
the device by pressing the ON / OFF button. When the
device is on, green indicator lights up. Turn on the selected
illumination by pressing the RED / GREEN control button.
While directing the illumination to the location of the test
lens, check in the eyepieces, whether you see a red or a
green spot in the lens. Similarly, the lens of a hidden video
camera will be visible when checking the room.
7. Operating the Device
ATTENTION! Before using the device, charge the
rechargeable battery.
Before using the device, determine the places in the
room, where cameras could most likely be installed. This is
required for a more thorough check of these places.
To detect a video camera, it is recommended to stay in a
place which is supposedly a subject of hidden surveillance.
For example. If it is supposed that the director's desk is
under hidden observation, it is required to sit at this
particular desk and search for video cameras from this point.
The device is used to systematically and smoothly inspect
the premises.
When a green or red glaring spot (depending on the
applied illumination color) is detected, it is necessary to
inspect the place from a close distance and determine the
source of glare.
The test can be carried out under regular light conditions.
But a more reliable test is achieved in darkened premises.

8. Recommendations for detection of hidden cameras
The main rule when searching for hidden video cameras
is to be in the place that most interests the installers of video
cameras (or between the supposed location of the camera
and the place under record).
Most likely such places are:
places of work (tables behind which people are sitting),
places of rest (armchairs, sofas, beds).
In case of monitoring the attendance of the room, a video
camera can be aimed at the doorway.
Detection of at least one video camera does not mean the
room is fully checked. It is necessary to take into account
that there can be several video cameras. Therefore, it is
required that the entire room is checked.
A large number of glare objects in the room (mirrors,
glass, etc.) can significantly complicate detection of hidden
video cameras. These places need to be checked more
carefully. If a glare is detected, it is necessary to change the
angle, under which the surface is inspected. It is often
enough to move a step forward or aside and the glare will
disappear. Meanwhile, a glare of the camera lens will not
disappear.
Spy cameras can be installed in any part of the interior
suitable for this purpose. These can be suspended ceilings,
souvenirs, video and audio equipment, paintings, decorative
ornaments, etc.
When searching, avoid direct sunlight in the room.
Therefore, when searching, it is recommended to shut
curtains in the room under test.

These recommendations are valid when working with any
hidden camera detectors used to detect and locate video
cameras according to optical parameters.
9. Safety Instructions
Attention! The device is equipped with glass optical
elements. In the event of breaking any of them, the device
must not be used in order to avoid personal injury.
