2.2.5 The device is easy to use and does not require special skills. The device makes possible detecting any
camera lens
at 20 meters distance
. Detection range depends on the ambient light.
2.2.6 Turning ON the device is made by a button in the middle of the rear panel by pressing and holding it
for at least 2 seconds. After the device is turned ON, LEDs located around the lens begin to flash. Then, by
briefly pressing power button select the frequency of LED emitter flashes. It is recommended to choose the
lowest flash frequency in a darkened room and highest in a light one.
Once selected the frequency, find hidden cameras looking through the lens (instructions can be found
in Section 2.3). You'll see bright flares where a hidden camera is located - it's a back glare from the camera
lens (see Pic. 4). If you see a glaring spot, examine this place closely and determine the flare source

2.3. Tips to detect hidden cameras
The basic rule in detecting of hidden cameras is that the detection should be done in a place that could
possibly interest a person, who installed it there. The most likely locations of camera installation are those
places, which could be well seen, employee’s desks, recreational facilities (chairs, sofas, etc.), doorways.
The camera can be installed in the corners ceiling cavity, ventilating shaft, piece of furniture (wardrobe,
mezzanine, etc.), domestic items, audio-video equipment, etc.
Be aware that cameras can be different. Finding one or two cameras does not mean that the room is
completely cleared. To be absolutely sure in your safety, it is necessary to check all the places, from where
hidden recording could be realized.
To define what glare type you see - hidden camera lens or simply smooth surface reflection (such as glass or
mirrors) - can be checked by moving to the side and observing the same area with the device. In case of a
simple blink, it will disappear or lose its intensity, while the camera lens reflection will remain at the same
place and will not change flashing intensity while you remain in the device visual field.
Be aware that the optimal operating distance is less than 20 meters, and that the camera can be detected only
being in its visual field. Therefore, for the most efficient monitoring it is recommended to test the most
suspicious places from different angles.
