Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sweep?
Sweep is a hidden camera detector app for iPhone by FAEM SOFTWARE. It guides you through a room sweep that combines magnetic field, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth scanning plus a camera-view lens finder to help you spot hidden cameras and covert recording devices.
How can I check a hotel room for hidden cameras with my iPhone?
Sweep walks you through a step-by-step guided sweep: scan for abnormal electromagnetic activity with the magnetometer, review devices on the Wi-Fi network, detect Bluetooth signals nearby, and use the lens finder to spot reflective lenses hidden in everyday objects.
Can Sweep detect every hidden camera?
No detection app can guarantee that. Sweep is a consumer screening tool — detection accuracy depends on your device sensors, environmental conditions, and the equipment being searched for. It is not a substitute for a professional TSCM sweep; contact authorities or a licensed security professional for serious concerns.
Does Sweep work offline?
Yes — the magnetic field and Bluetooth scans work fully offline. Scan results and device lists are processed locally and never uploaded to external servers.
Is Sweep free?
Sweep is free to download. Premium subscription plans unlock unlimited scans, full scan history, and access to all detection methods.
What detection methods does Sweep use?
Four methods in one guided sweep: a magnetic field scanner (magnetometer), a Wi-Fi network scanner, a Bluetooth scanner, and a guided lens finder — no special equipment required.
