WHAT IT SEES

the stuff pointed at you, on a map

› FLOCK / ALPR

license-plate cameras logging where your car goes, plus flock's raven audio sensors listening to the block

› DRONES

consumer and public-safety drones broadcasting remote ID overhead. DJI, parrot, skydio, autel and yuneec. remote ID often carries the pilot's location too, so the operator gets pinned on the map, tethered to the drone

› BODY CAMS

body-worn cameras in range of you. also flags other motorola solutions gear by its bluetooth signature

› NETWORK CAMERAS

opt-in. wifi ip cameras from known surveillance brands, hikvision, dahua, reolink and the like, broadcasting on a network nearby, even one you're not on. not every camera, and never the wired or analog kind that emits no radio

› SMART GLASSES

ray-ban / oakley meta, snap spectacles and vuzix, flagged by the vendor IDs in their bluetooth broadcasts

› BLE TRACKERS

airtags and other trackers riding along with you

› ANYTHING YOU STAR

your own custom category. star any device the beacon has ever heard and it gets flagged every time it's near, no known signature needed. the list lives on the beacon itself

›passive listener on WiFi + bluetooth. surveillance gear announces itself over the air; the beacon recognizes those signatures. the detection side never transmits.

›two radios inside: bluetooth gets its own dedicated scanner, so scanning never pauses while WiFi hops channels or the phone link talks.

›silent gear stays invisible: wired cameras and purely optical systems won't show up.

›not an SDR, not a bug sweeper. two bands, known signatures, nothing more.

›the motorola-solutions match behind body cams is broad on purpose. if it gets noisy where you are, switch that category off in the app.

›a quiet screen means nothing announced itself, not that you're unwatched.

HOW IT WORKS

01

power on

the beacon quietly scans WiFi and bluetooth around you, wherever it rides.

02

open the app

every detection lands on a live map with signal detail and history. free, open source.

03

or don't

phone away? the buzzer still alerts you. flip on offline logging in the app once, and the beacon keeps what it heard while you're gone, waiting when you reconnect.
