Hidden Camera Detector

Engadget writes about a Wireless Camera Hunter device that scans the airwaves in less than five seconds to allow its owner to see if there are any hidden wireless cameras in the vicinity of 500 feet. It also transmits the feed of these wireless camera on its 2.5 TFT LCD display.

The real purpose of this device is to be used as a countersurveillance tool, you know, to detect any hidden spy cameras planted in those dubious spaces like public restrooms or college dorm rooms. It may've been developed to ease paranoid minds —because you can never be too safe—but let's face, it won't take long before this device falls in the wrong hands.

So where does that leave home or business owners who for security reasons, use wireless cameras to monitor their property?  Make sure your equipment comes with some sort of video encryption method if at all possible. Video encryption should intercept the viewing of transmitted video on this device.

Do you use wireless cameras at home or in your business? What do you think about the Wireless Camera Hunter?
