Weed out prying eyes with wireless camera detector

cam_detect.jpg

Ever have that feeling that you're being watched? Maybe you are, and maybe you can do something about it. Check that — you can definitely do something about it with this 3-GHz wireless camera detector. About the size of a pack of cigarettes, the gadget will seek out any telltale signals of wireless cameras that might be around (anything in the 100-MHz to 3-GHz range), transmitting images of you eating cornflakes to some nefarious home base.

The sensitivity is adjustable, so you can crank it to find those low-power wireless signals. Still, since there's not much in the way of a "display" on this thing, it would be hard to tell what's a camera and what's your neighbor's Wi-Fi. It's only $50, though, so there's not too much to lose in getting this thing, especially if you're the suspicious type.

You're right. It probably is better for finding hotspots than cameras. Finally you can find out which of your neighbors you're mooching off!
