The apps provides all functionalities without ads. It detects hidden cameras and microphones. It also acts as a device detector.

Usage IR Camera Detector:
1-Just open IR Hidden camera detector and see through the specialized camera filter to find hidden cameras. Our filter allows you to detect cameras by showing the infrared as bright white light.
2—can be used as IR Remote Detector(Infrared)
You can also check that your IR remote is in working or not press the button of your
IR remote control and see if the light is blinking then your IR remote is working perfectly.
Usage Camera Detector by Radiations : <\b>
You just have to move your phone in your surroundings to detect hidden camera and to find any unusual magnetic activity which may be a hidden camera,spy camera, secret camera or a hidden device as this hidden camera detect app is also hidden device detector to detect devices as well as a hidden camera detector to detect camera.

        "A hidden camera detector can find a camera anywhere no matter how well it's hidden. You just press the button, it shoots a little IR beam and you can see the reflection of any camera lens. So what was hidden from the naked eye is now seeable," says Robinson.

        Uh huh.

        How exactly does the app make my phone emit a beam of IR light?

        • steven6 on 24/06/2018 - 12:23

          Maybe they have upgraded the nokia_6131 to android lol

        • firepower on 24/06/2018 - 12:32

          By buying a xiaomi they come with IR blasters and IR control app.

          You can also wire IR LEDs to a earphone plug and use IR control app

          https://youtu.be/vD272_WdOeI

          But I doubt this app would use IR blaster.

          Yeah IR blasters, woo. Really high on my list of 'must have' phone features. It was a novelty even in the 'Palm Pilot' days.

          It's the same way apps switch on your phone's built-in light sabre ;)

          @D C: Had one on the Note 3 and now the LGv20. They are actually super useful. Work had lost the remote for the projector. Downloaded the IR codes and managed to get it up and running.

          @mattyman:

          They are actually super useful.

          Each to their own, of course.

          The problem really is the IR beam needs to go in the same direction as the camera (so front or back) instead of out the top like most do.

          Anyway, I guess the developers of the DataExtractorPro app are happy with at least 44 OzBargainers signing up. (Edit - or maybe 2148 as that's how many have clicked as opposed to voted.)

        • Major Mess on 25/06/2018 - 07:15

          It doesn't. Just like the majority of cameras, it is sensitive to IR.
          I want to know how in the world they can claim it can detect a microphone on another device?

        • D C on 25/06/2018 - 09:43

          @Major Mess:

          claim it can detect a microphone

          Magnetic fields using the compass. But yeah, good luck with that.

          There's a whole heap of 'toolbox' apps that do this sort of stuff, eg https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=maxcom.toolbox… but without the clickbaity 'spy omg' garbage.

      I agree. Most stock camera apps show infrared as white light. Just try it on your TV IR remote.

      • cryptos on 24/06/2018 - 11:13

        Tried, didn't show anything, used app and clearly works…

        • steven6 on 24/06/2018 - 12:36

          Maybe your stock camera app has an IR filter that blocks IR light? You might be able to turn the IR filter off somewhere in the settings of the stock app?

        • D C on 24/06/2018 - 12:39

          @steven6:
          The filter is on the camera lens. It doesn't block all the IR. A remote control actually has a pretty bright light.

        • dm01 on 24/06/2018 - 13:31

          @D C: IR blocking filter is generally over the camera sensor, not the lens. Whether a household remote will show up on a phone's camera depends on a few different factors - some phones will show it, some won't, some remotes will show up, some won't.

        • D C on 24/06/2018 - 13:41

          @dm01:

          IR blocking filter is generally over the camera sensor, not the lens.

          Yeah, same difference in most cases. It's just a film between the lens & sensor.

    How is this any better than just using your regular camera app?

    • timps on 24/06/2018 - 12:07

      Because it shows the IR light more heavily?

      How is a regular camera app focused on IR at all?

      • fruxo on 24/06/2018 - 12:25

        Have you tried pointing a tv remote at a mobile phone camera? If you are having problems with remote, this is the first step in any guide to determine if a button is stuck.

      • D C on 24/06/2018 - 12:34
        +1

        Because it's nothing to do with the app. All CMOS cameras pick up IR light, most of them have filters to block it.

        Every camera I've ever owned has picked up the IR from remote controls just fine.

        If the app does anything it's probably just futzing with the white balance or contrast to emphasise white light (which is what IR appears as).

        The way to spot camera lens is to shine a bright light at them and pick up the reflection, but you pretty much have to have to have the phone exactly in front of the camera lens to pick up the spot as it comes out perpendicular to the lens. If you're off to the side it won't work.

        It's like finding spiders at night. Crouch down and hold a torch next to your head, level with your eyes. If there's a spider facing you you'll be able to see the reflections off its eyes (actually the coating on the backs of their eyes but anyway).

        Same as those videos of cats eyes lighting up in the dark.

    Just keep in mind there are 14 reviews that bring about that 4.9 rating and 2 of them are from 'A Google User'. IMHO these reviews have that fraudulent odor. I can't speak to the app but I most definately ignore its glowing reference.

    -There can be other things emitting IR radiations. So be sure before complaining to stay away from embarrassment.

    Guys, I installed the app this morning and did scientific testing soon afterwards.

    I will now share the results of the test.

    Basically it will detect IR light. If you point your ir remote at the phone whilst using the app, then press a button on your remote, you will see the diode on your remote flash…

    So, if you have a room that you suspect contains hidden spy cameras, AND these cameras are emitting infra red radiation for some reason, lol, then this app is useful!!!

    I uninstalled it 2 mins after installing it.

      My phone already does that without the app.
