Glint Finder - Camera Detector- screenshot thumbnail

Description

The #1 glint finder app on Google Play! Glint Finder uses the retro-reflection of the camera flash to allow the user to better identify shiny objects in the camera's field of view. Works great for locating hidden camera lens elements - also for finding dropped parts or contact lenses!

Glint Finder uses the same principle as the tools used by professionals to help search for and find the lens glint given off by hidden spy camera optics.
- Set the device's flash rate in cycles per second (Hz).
- Adjust device's flash duty cycle.
- Toggle the image polarity to help highlight glints.
The lens optics of hidden cameras produce specular reflection when illuminated with a flash. These retro-reflections show up as highlights or hotspots in the image that stand out as the flash toggles on and off. These are tell-tales used by skilled operators to sweep meeting areas and indoor rooms for hidden cameras.

Note: the flash rate and duty cycle capability will depend on your particular device's capability.

This is an ad supported app! Thanks for your feedback!

Worthless Didn't pick up any signs of any camera that was actually located in four different rooms. Tried getting information on the problems at hand but even that was worse than getting teeth pulled. Would NOT recommend to anyone.

Yeah, no. I have a couple of hidden cams that are wide angled lens. I had the phone steady in front of both side by side for maybe 5 minutes from not even a foot away. Nothing. Pathetic. There's clearly no such thing as an app that detects hidden lens.

Use your brain. This works by showing you what your naked eye can't see very well. It doesn't magically detect camera lenses, only shows you where they might be so you can investigate and discern for yourself. Simple and useful.

Detects idiots and morons All it does is flashes. If an idiot walks in front of you while using it it flashes a light on them. It also flashes light on everything else so if you still can't find the idiot, it likely means you are the idiot.

This app worked good on LG Optimus f6 other than the app would stop or crash and had to close app and then restart and it would repeat steps if this minor bug could be fixed or adjusted this app would do as described. Thanks for making such a cool app!

Vague instructions Maybe it'll work if used as intended, but lacking better instruction it's not much use. In particular, why and how best to adjust settings to accommodate one's hardware.

Santosh Kumar Kar September 3, 2014

Nonsense app Only an idiot can say how to be clever to use this stupid app. It never can detect the cam. Moreover it just keep blinking the flash light of my nexus-5 mobile like an ambulance. I tried in light, tried in dark, tried in office or home, the same behavior. Whoever they say it works may be they are from the application vendor.

Bernard Hardy January 14, 2015

Private investigator This is plain and simple .....Crap... It doesn't work. A complete waste of time. UNINSTALLED

Koushambi Bhowmick July 12, 2015

Wish negative rating was possible Its worthless. The flash blinks like some disco light and thats all the app can do. RUBBISH.

Adam S June 22, 2014

User skill required It found my webcam although a lot of other objects gave very similar indications. I hope this wasn't just an elaborate way for me to case my own apartment...

Jacob Bradley June 14, 2016

Couldn't pick up my obvious webcam Not sure what this app was supposed to show me. I pointed it directly at a wireless webcam, one that I could easily hide, and it didn't really detect anything. Tried all the flash settings on both my S6 and Nexus 6P. I'll either be using my usb spectrum analyzer and a strong laser pointer to burn the cameras, or buy a stand alone device. Good effort, though.

Zac Chua December 20, 2013

Very poor Can't detect my camera. It's not functional. No simple manual to tell you what to look out for either. Poorly thought of app.

Amit Shroff April 27, 2015

Useless app Not worth installation doesn't work.

Gudiya rani October 16, 2015

Total time wasting could not identify anything don't waste your time. Your eyes work better from it.

J Dem February 19, 2016

Dont quite get it..? How far away do you hold your phone AND do you look for any odd lighting in your phone's screen or do you look at the object for glare?

Jerry Beaulieu March 14, 2014

Works great if you know how to use it right, it works really well but if you're an idiot then it will never work for you.

Mirsadi MSi3 June 29, 2015

Poor I tried on my cameras but didn't work, on galaxy note 2 and note 3 and galaxy mega 6"3

Henry C August 6, 2014

Should have features as below: 1. on/button. 2. Prompt save image with red marking to indicate location of suspects.

Gabriel Espringtime November 12, 2014

Waste of time. I placed my camera pen directly in front of it and with all that flashing, it was still indistinguishable from anything in the background.

Wasin Intasarn August 26, 2015

non functional totally failed to detect anything. don't waste your time. your naked eye will work much better.

Varsha Rathore April 4, 2015

Worst app Plzz dont install this app.This is useless.

Gab Edel May 3, 2016

NO settings and NO instructions All it does is flash. There is no instructions or settings. I have no clue how to use it or what this flashing means

Araz Abdul December 27, 2015

No Option for Note5 It just blink without any detection! Is there an option or setting for this app? Some body tell me what is the use of it if it didn't detect any lense! I've tried it over and over

Mack Stone November 16, 2015

Awesome Was able to detect someone's hidden camera in my workplace.....suckers!!!! Was easy to find since they left the box for the cameras laying around.

D-LORD OMAR September 18, 2015

RealWorld Events August 8, 2014

Sanjay Thomas January 1, 2014
