Check for hidden cameras while you travel with this compact device

TL;DR: As of August 27, you can get the Anti-Spy Camera Finder for just $59.95 instead of $99 — that's a 39% discount.

It's a shame that they're necessary, but if you're on vacation or traveling for work and nervous about where you're staying, you might feel more secure if you can confirm there aren't any hidden cameras in your lodging. The Anti-Spy Camera Finder is a compact tool for identifying hidden cameras wherever you stay.

A hidden camera finder that fits in a pocket

The Anti-Spy Camera Finder uses infrared LED lights to search out hidden cameras around you. Using it is simple, but it could take practice. First, just turn on the power with the switch on the side. Then, activate the LED flashlight and hit the infrared laser scanning switch. If it finds a hidden camera, it will appear as a small reflective red spot that you could see through the circular viewing port.

The Anti-Spy Camera Finder has one more function that could be useful in a different kind of scenario. Press and hold the alarm switch for five seconds, and the device enters a standby state, ready for a loud (and bright) alarm to go off in case you need to call for help or give your travel buddy a very rude awakening!

If you're traveling for work, school, or fun and want to confirm the room you're staying in is safe, this hidden camera detector may prove quite valuable. It could also make an excellent gift for the frequent travelers in your life, and it's made of sturdy ABS plastic, the same seemingly-indestructible stuff LEGO is made from, so it should hold up to travel wear and tear. And it's rechargeable!
