Five ways Findy helps you inspect a room
Each method observes something different. This page is the map: what every tool does, and whether it is free or part of the subscription.
The five methods
Guided inspection checklist
An ordered walkthrough of the objects and surfaces worth examining — smoke detectors, chargers, clocks, vents, mirrors, decorative items. Free.
Camera inspection tools
An infrared viewing mode, a lens-glint finder and an automatic lens scan, for spotting reflections and light sources that are easy to miss unaided. Subscription.
Network scanner
A Bonjour service browse plus a port probe across the local network, flagging addresses that respond like IP cameras and recorders. Subscription.
Bluetooth scanner
Lists advertising Bluetooth Low Energy devices with approximate signal strength, and watches in the background for a tracker travelling with you. Free.
Magnetic field scanner
Uses the iPhone magnetometer to compare a specific object against a baseline you set yourself. Free.
What each method finds
Findy combines several techniques, each suited to surfacing something different. Here is what every tool can surface, at a glance.
| Method | Can surface | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Guided inspection | Anything visible to a careful person who knows where to look | Free |
| Camera tools | Lens reflections and some infrared sources at close range | Subscription |
| Network scanner | Devices reachable on the Wi-Fi you are joined to, and their open ports | Subscription |
| Bluetooth scanner | Devices actively advertising within radio range | Free |
| Magnetic field | Field deviation around one specific object you sweep | Free |

How results are labelled
Findy marks each discovered device either as ordinary or as showing camera-related indicators, and shows the specific reason it was marked.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ordinary | Nothing Findy observed about the device is associated with cameras. |
| Shows camera-related indicators | One of the checks below matched. Go and look at the object. |
The reason shown beside a marked device is one of the following:
- a name matching a manufacturer known for cameras, shown as "Likely <vendor> camera";
- a name matching a camera-related keyword, shown as "Name matches <keyword>";
- a streaming or surveillance service advertised on the network;
- an open port associated with cameras.
The reason for every flag is shown alongside it, so you can see exactly what a device matched on — whether that is a name, an advertised service or an open port.
