📍
Hidden AirTag in a Bag or Jacket
A small tracker slipped into a pocket, a purse lining, or tucked under a car seat. It silently reports your location through Apple's Find My network — no pairing required.
SentryRF detection → SentryRF identifies the tracker and flags it as not belonging to you. If the same device shows up at your home, your office, and the grocery store, SentryRF sees the pattern and alerts you within minutes.
🚗
GPS Tracker Planted on a Vehicle
A magnetic black box attached under the wheel well or inside the bumper. Invisible from outside the car — broadcasting your every trip.
SentryRF detection → Vehicle Check mode runs a focused BLE scan around your car. It flags any device with an unknown manufacturer or no broadcast name that wasn't present at your previous scan. The proximity analyzer estimates distance — if it's within 2 meters and matches no known device, it's suspicious. Sound Locator guides you to the exact spot.
📷
Hidden Camera in a Rental or Hotel
A pinhole camera inside a smoke detector, alarm clock, or wall fixture. Connected to the property's WiFi or storing footage locally on a hidden network.
SentryRF detection → WiFi scanning identifies devices from known camera vendors on hidden networks, matching hardware signatures against a comprehensive manufacturer database. Physical Sweep mode uses your phone's magnetometer to detect active electronics behind walls, and the light sensor picks up infrared LEDs from night-vision cameras.
🛩️
Surveillance Drone Over Your Property
A drone circling overhead — could be a neighbor, a PI, or someone casing your home. Without Remote ID decoding, you'd never know who's flying it.
SentryRF detection → Decodes the FAA-mandated Remote ID broadcast over Bluetooth. Extracts the manufacturer, model, registration serial number, live GPS coordinates, altitude, ground speed, and — critically — the operator's takeoff position. Identifies 100+ drone manufacturers including DJI, Skydio, Autel, and Parrot.
🕶️
Smart Glasses Recording You
Someone at a meeting, a bar, or a private event wearing Ray-Ban Meta or Snap Spectacles — recording video without anyone's knowledge or consent.
SentryRF detection → SentryRF identifies smart glasses by their wireless signature and maintains a database of recording-capable wearables — including Ray-Ban Meta, Snap Spectacles, and Vuzix. These are flagged as recording devices when detected near you.
📸
License Plate Reader on Your Street
ALPR cameras mounted on poles by private surveillance companies — logging every vehicle that passes, building a searchable database of your movements.
SentryRF detection → SentryRF spots license plate reader cameras and logs each detection with GPS coordinates and timestamps for your records.
🎒
Tracker Slipped Into a Child's Belongings
A Tile, SmartTag, or Chipolo placed in a backpack, lunchbox, or jacket — tracking a child's daily routine between home and school without anyone noticing.
SentryRF detection → SentryRF spots Tile, SmartTag, Chipolo, and other trackers. The AI notices when a device keeps showing up at the same places your child goes — and keeps tracking it even if it tries to hide.
🔍
Hidden Electronics in a Room
Suspected surveillance in an apartment, office, or hotel room — wired cameras, audio bugs, or passive recording devices that don't show up on a Bluetooth scan.
SentryRF detection → Physical Sweep uses your phone's built-in sensors as a sweep kit. The magnetometer detects active electronics behind walls and objects. The microphone picks up ultrasonic emissions (16–22 kHz) from camera circuits. The light sensor finds infrared LEDs from night-vision cameras. EMF spike detection flags powered devices hidden in furniture or fixtures.
📶
Fake WiFi Network at a Hotel or Airport
A rogue access point broadcasting the same network name as the real one — anyone who connects has their traffic intercepted, passwords captured, sessions hijacked.
SentryRF detection → SentryRF checks every WiFi network around you and spots fakes — networks pretending to be your hotel, airport, or coffee shop. It catches multiple types of WiFi attacks and warns you before you connect.
📱
Someone Following You With Their Phone
No tracker needed — a person following you on foot or by car, using their own phone's Bluetooth as an unintentional beacon. Most tracker apps can't detect this.
SentryRF detection → SentryRF tracks devices across locations and time. If the same phone appears at your coffee shop, then your office, then your gym — SentryRF flags the pattern. SentryRF identifies the same device even when it changes its wireless address to hide. This is something no other tracker detection app does.
