Low Cost WiFi and Camera Detector
If you want to get hold of a cheap camera detector you may want to try the WiFi-n-Spy Finder detector as its just under £13 from Maplin. This detector also detects wireless hotspots.
The benefit of this device is that it is a dual-function device and at a very affordable price. You don’t have to log into your laptop to check whether there is wireless connectivity available with its WiFi functions.
The disadvantage with detecting cameras with this device is that it is unlikely to be comparable in signal strength compared to the host of standalone wireless detectors available such as the standalone Spyfinder wireless camera detector, but it must be said they are significantly more expensive than this particular device. It can also only detect wireless devices such as wireless cameras and bluetooth devices and not wired ones.
Another disadvantage the WiFi-n-Spy Finder is that with its WiFi detection capabilities it can only find wireless signals but cannot detect their strength and neither can it tell you whether a network is secure or not thus you will not be able to readily snoop on others’ networks without first testing it it out with your wireless device whether the network requires a password or not.
However, this is a good entry level device offering a dual function capablity, and from that standpoint, makes it quite attractive.
