How real are these claims of iPhone hidden camera detector apps
We have been reading lots of hype on these iphone apps for detecting hidden camera and wanted to know if any EE has an experience in them in how truly they work using an iphone.

Hi,
The is what I am referring to, apps that say that they can detect hidden cameras in a hotel room (for example); something like the apps below. Yes, I can download each one I find until filing the best, that’s the reason we use expert exchange - you guys seem to have a more outlook on what is small tech guys are looking for. If we can have some experienced input from u guys. Would be great.

All these apps work on the same principle. It's limited by your own phone's camera to detect a specific reflection. Again, it's limited by your own ability to verify the detection results.

Thank you all!!! very, very informative!
Will proceed to close the question.

I think you are referring to finding hidden cameras in, say, a motel room?
These apps we're big on Android five years, maybe more, ago, and the general consensus from what I can't recall was that they were probably useless, due to users not really knowing how to sweep a room properly.
I have not tested them myself, but I would say there only way you'll really know if by having a known bugged room and testing the app like that.
If you do that, please post back here - it would be interesting to know.
