SafeRoom scans your hotel or Airbnb for hidden cameras, spy devices, and suspicious signals — using Wi-Fi scanning, Bluetooth detection, and a guided room inspection. Entirely on your iPhone.
Reports of guests discovering surveillance devices in Airbnbs, hotels, and vacation rentals have increased dramatically. Devices are often hidden inside smoke detectors, alarm clocks, USB chargers, and picture frames — in direct line of sight of beds and bathrooms.
"I found a camera in the smoke detector directly above the bed. It was recording to a memory card. The host had 47 five-star reviews."— Airbnb guest, reported to CNN (2024)
"Guests generally don't check. They assume the platform has done it for them. It hasn't."— Security researcher, The Guardian
Most detection tools only check one thing. SafeRoom combines network scanning, Bluetooth detection, and physical inspection into one 2-minute workflow.
SafeRoom uses Apple's Bonjour/mDNS protocol to enumerate every device visible on your local Wi-Fi — even those hidden from the router's standard device list. Each device is classified: Smart TV, router, unknown. Anything unusual is flagged immediately.
Works at check-in. No VPN required. Scan runs in 20–40 seconds.
Scans for every BLE device advertising nearby — not just paired devices. Hidden cameras, trackers, and microphones with Bluetooth will appear. Unknown manufacturer codes and strong signals without names are flagged for your attention.
A guided checklist walks you through the exact locations where covert cameras are most often found: smoke detectors, mirrors, alarm clocks, vents, plug sockets, USB chargers, picture frames, and bathroom fixtures.
SafeRoom watches your room's network while you're out. If a new device appears while you're away, you'll get a notification when you return — so you know if anything changed.
Every scan saves a timestamped report on your device. If you find something suspicious, the report is ready to send to Airbnb, the booking platform, or local authorities — with full device lists, signal data, and flags.
No cloud. No account. No analytics. SafeRoom contains zero third-party SDKs. Everything stays on your iPhone. It's the only hidden camera detector app that is itself completely private.
A full room sweep takes less time than checking in at the front desk.
Open SafeRoom once you're connected. No special network permissions, no VPN, no setup required. The scan starts immediately.
Enable Bluetooth and let SafeRoom's BLE scanner run for a full 30-second advertising cycle. Every broadcasting device nearby will appear — not just those paired to your phone.
Follow the 8-step guided checklist to physically check the most common hiding spots — smoke detectors, mirrors, alarm clocks, vents, and more.

Real reviews from real travellers who check in differently now.
"The app scans the environment for multiple WiFi and Bluetooth bands, and quickly finds anything transmitting. It then notifies me on my iPhone and Apple Watch of any changes. Simple and effective. It works."
"I travel for work constantly — hotels every week. Before SafeRoom I never thought about it. Now I scan every room before I unpack. Takes less than 2 minutes. Total peace of mind."
"Clean, fast, and does exactly what it says. The guided inspection walkthrough is the most useful part — I didn't know to check behind alarm clocks and inside vents. Eye-opening."
