This device works as expected but has a bit of a learning curve. Once I figured out the signals and alerts, it became much more useful, especially with its IR feature for spotting small camera lenses. It picked up surprising signals in my hotel room, making it a handy tool for travel, though it doesn’t feel very durable.

How to use it
Find a GPS tracker on your car in three steps
Worried someone is tracking your location with a hidden GPS? This is how to use the detector.
Activate GPS detection mode
Power on the device and switch to GPS detection mode. The detector is designed to find hidden GPS trackers quickly by picking up the magnetic fields or radio signals they give off.
Scan your car
Check the areas where a tracker could be hidden under the car, in the wheel wells, or in the trunk. Move the device slowly over these spots and watch for alerts. Adjust the sensitivity if you think you are close to something.
Find the hidden GPS
If the detector signals, it alerts you with a sound or a silent vibration, depending on your settings. The stronger the alert, the closer you are. Once you have located the signal, take a closer look and remove the tracker.
The basics
What is a GPS tracker detector?
A GPS tracker detector is a handy little device designed to find and pinpoint hidden GPS tracking devices that might be monitoring your movements.
It works by scanning for the RF signals or magnetic fields that tracking devices give off. When it picks them up it alerts you, usually with a sound or a vibration, which helps you zero in on the exact location.
But that is not all a good detector also acts as a bug detector and hidden camera detector, finding spy cameras, wireless bugs and even voice recorders that someone might have planted.
If you are feeling uneasy about being watched or followed, this helps you find and remove whatever is compromising your privacy.
Travel safety
Detect hidden cameras in your Airbnb, hotel or home
Staying in an Airbnb should be a relaxing experience, but the fear of hidden cameras is all too real. CNN's investigation revealed that Airbnb has dealt with tens of thousands of complaints about surveillance devices which shows how widespread the problem has become.
Whether you are scanning an Airbnb, a hotel room or your own home, the detector finds wireless bugs and concealed cameras, so you can relax knowing your personal space is yours alone.
Where to look
How can I detect a GPS tracker on my car?
If you think someone has hidden a tracker on your car, these are the five most likely spots to check with the detector.
Spot 1
Under the car
Start underneath, especially around the bumpers or near the exhaust — trackers are often placed in these out-of-sight areas.
Spot 2
Inside the wheel wells
A common spot, where a tracker can be attached to the metal framework without being noticed.
Spot 3
Under the seats
Often overlooked, but easy to access for someone trying to hide a device in a hurry.
Spot 4
In or around the dashboard
Less common but possible — look behind the dash and around the car's electronics.
Spot 5
In the glove box
Check behind any panels and in hidden compartments where a tracker might be stashed.
Then what?
Scan, don't guess
Move the detector slowly over each area. The alert gets stronger as you close in, so you find the device instead of hunting for it.

Because some Airbnb owners are creeps! Hidden camera detector worked fabulously
I originally got this detection device to find a tracker a crazy ex hid on my F-150, but now i use it to bust creepy AF airbnb owners. No cap, they some really voyeurs
My crazy ex-boyfriend would NOT stop texting and DM'ing after we broke up. Then he started showing up at random places I was. My friend told me he might have put a hidden GPS tracker on my car - that is why i got this device
I’m always on the go for work and family vacations, so I wanted something to keep us safe. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first TBH, but after testing it with my cameras at home, this GPS tracker detector totally worked! Super happy with the purchase and can’t wait to use it on our trip next week.
A red dot flashed in the viewfinder—we found the hidden camera. Testing the detector at home, it beeped near our IP camera, proving it works. It charges fast with USB-C, though the instructions are tiny. We haven’t tried the GPS detection yet, but knowing it’s there is reassuring. Sad that travel safety now means scanning for hidden cameras, but at least we’re prepared.
FAQs
Questions people ask before buying
Why isn't the hidden camera being detected?
There could be a few reasons. The camera might be turned off and not transmitting a signal. It could also be a wired camera, which standard RF detection won't pick up — use the infrared light mode and the filter lens for those.
What should I do if the detector picks up too many signals and keeps beeping?
Try lowering the sensitivity level. That filters out background noise and lets the detector focus on stronger, more relevant signals.
How do I detect a GPS tracker that's not always active?
Some trackers only transmit intermittently to save battery. Run a scan several times across the day so you catch one of its transmission windows.
Why isn't the real-time GPS tracker showing an accurate location?
Hold the detector steady in one spot for at least three minutes before moving to a different area — it needs time to lock on to an intermittent signal.
Why does my detector beep near certain windows?
Aluminium alloy window frames can amplify signal reception. Lower the sensitivity or move away from the window and scan again.
