SentryPod is a USB-C companion scanner that turns your Android or iPhone into a professional counter-surveillance kit. Multi-antenna directional finding, wideband RF detection, sub-GHz radio scanning, precision EMF, and infrared camera detection. All streaming live to the SentryRF app.
Price and availability to be announced. Requires SentryRF app. Works with any USB-C Android device or iPhone.
SentryRF's AI is already powerful on your phone alone. SentryPod adds hardware sensors that no phone has.
| Capability | Phone Only | Phone + SentryPod |
|---|---|---|
| BLE detection range | ~30m | ~120 meters (4× extended) |
| Direction to threat | No — distance only | Yes — real-time bearing arrow |
| RF detection bandwidth | 2.4 / 5 GHz only | 1 MHz – 10 GHz (wideband) |
| Sub-GHz radio (433/868/915 MHz) | No | Yes — car trackers, wireless mics, bugs |
| EMF / magnetometer quality | Phone sensor (noisy) | Dedicated sensor, 4× more sensitive |
| Infrared camera detection | No (phone has IR filter) | Yes — sees invisible infrared LEDs |
| 802.15.4 (Zigbee / Thread) | No | Yes — spy camera mesh networks |
| Coded PHY (BLE Long Range) | Phone dependent | Always available — guaranteed |
| Dedicated scanning radio | Shared with calls, WiFi, etc. | Yes — zero contention |
| Physical TSCM sweep probe | Sweep the phone itself | Handheld probe on cable — phone stays as display |
SentryPod packs dedicated counter-surveillance sensors that no phone has — streaming live to SentryRF's existing sweep screens.
Detects any RF emission from 1 MHz to 10 GHz — analog bugs, video transmitters, cellular-connected surveillance devices, FPV cameras, even microwave links. 55 dB dynamic range catches signals your phone's radio doesn't know exist.
1 MHz – 10 GHz · 55 dB dynamic rangeDemodulates signals at 315, 433, 868, and 915 MHz — where cheap GPS trackers, wireless microphones, garage door sniffers, and baby monitor bugs operate. Not just "something is transmitting" — actual packet data.
315 – 928 MHz · packet-level analysis4× more sensitive than your phone's built-in sensor, physically isolated from phone electronics by the USB cable. Detects powered circuit boards, camera motors, and active electronics hidden behind walls and furniture.
18-bit resolution · hardware-calibratedSees infrared LEDs that your phone literally cannot. Night-vision cameras emit 850/940 nm IR light — invisible to human eyes and filtered out by phone cameras. SentryPod's unfiltered sensor catches them instantly.
850 – 940 nm · unfiltered detectionMultiple directional antennas with high-speed switching compute the bearing to any wireless device — without requiring cooperation from the target. Point the Pod around a room and follow the compass arrow to the hidden device.
360° coverage · real-time bearingA dedicated high-gain receive amplifier extends Bluetooth detection from 30 meters to over 120 meters. Catches burst transmissions from trackers at the edge of range that your phone would never see.
+13 dB receive gain · BLE 5.4Captures WiFi beacons and probe requests from any WiFi generation — including WiFi 7 and WiFi 6E devices — without joining any network. Identifies hidden cameras, rogue access points, and surveillance devices through radio fingerprinting and vendor identification.
Multi-band WiFi · passive captureNo phone on the market scans 802.15.4 natively. SentryPod detects Zigbee mesh camera networks, Thread IoT spy devices, and industrial sensors — an entirely invisible protocol to phone-only scanners.
802.15.4 · mesh network detectionThe SentryRF app already runs 17 detection engines and 11 AI models on your phone. SentryPod gives those engines data they've never had before.
Clip SentryPod to your belt or hold in hand. Connect the braided USB-C cable to your phone. SentryRF auto-detects the Pod instantly.
SentryPod feeds extended-range BLE, dual-band WiFi, sub-GHz, and 802.15.4 data directly into SentryRF's existing 17 detection engines and 11 AI models. Same AI, dramatically better inputs.
Tap any suspicious device, then "Hunt with Pod." Hold the Pod in your hand and sweep — the directional compass arrow guides you to the exact location of the hidden threat.
Switch to Physical Sweep mode. Move the Pod along walls, furniture, and fixtures. The app's gauges show live RF power, EMF, and IR data — way more sensitive than the phone alone.
| Capability | Tracker detection apps | Spectrum analyzers | Phone + SentryPod |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device identification by name | Some (BLE only) | No — raw signals only | Yes — thousands of devices |
| AI behavioral analysis | No | No | 17 engines + 11 AI models |
| Direction to threat | No | With directional antenna | Built-in, real-time arrow |
| Sub-GHz (car trackers, bugs) | No | Yes | Yes — with AI identification |
| 5 GHz WiFi detection | No | Yes | Yes — passive capture |
| EMF sweep for hidden electronics | No | No | Yes — precision sensor |
| IR camera detection | No | No | Yes — sees invisible LEDs |
| 24/7 background monitoring | Some (limited) | No | Yes — learns what's normal |
| Requires RF expertise | No | Yes — significant | No — AI interprets everything |
| Works with your phone | Yes | Standalone device | Yes — phone is the display |
Tracker detection apps include AirGuard, Tracker Detect, and similar. Spectrum analyzers include devices like TinySA and SDR dongles.
SentryRF's 17 detection engines and 11 AI models already run on your phone. SentryPod adds the hardware your phone was never designed to have — extended range, directional finding, wideband RF, sub-GHz radio, and sensors that see through walls and darkness. Plug in and let the AI do the rest.
