4. Operating Instructions
The Baseus Heyo Hidden Camera Detector offers two primary detection modes: Continuous Operation and Flash Mode.
4.1 Understanding Hidden Camera Detection
Hidden cameras often use lenses that reflect infrared light. The detector emits infrared light, and when you look through its special filter, these reflections appear as bright red dots, indicating a potential hidden camera.
Figure 3: Illustration of how the detector reveals hidden cameras by showing red reflections.
4.2 Continuous Operation Mode
This mode provides a steady infrared light emission for a thorough scan.
- Turn on the device.
- Select the continuous operation mode (refer to button layout).
- Hold the detector at eye level and look through the red filter.
- Slowly scan the room, paying close attention to common hiding spots for cameras such as smoke detectors, air vents, power outlets, shower heads, books, and decorative items.
- Any hidden camera lenses will appear as bright red, reflective dots.
4.3 Flash Mode
Flash mode emits infrared light in pulses, which can make reflections more noticeable due to the blinking effect.
- Turn on the device.
- Select the flash mode (refer to button layout).
- Hold the detector at eye level and look through the red filter.
- Scan the room slowly, observing for blinking red dots. This mode can be particularly effective for quickly identifying reflections.

4.4 Effective Scanning Tips
- Scan from different angles and heights.
- Pay attention to objects that seem out of place or have small holes.
- Common hiding spots include: smoke alarms, air conditioner vents, power outlets, light fixtures, shower heads, clocks, picture frames, and soft furnishings like pillows.
