Scout is a hidden camera finder for anyone who's concerned about being spied on in private spaces. Every week, the media reports stories of spy cameras being found in Airbnbs, hotels, public bathrooms, gyms, and more - Scout finds them!
Love this and thought it would be $199. As I’m in an Air BnB now I’ve been playing is that a camera.
Since I don’t have a scout my only option is to put on a show.
@walkerlucas Believe it or not, over the last decade I've seen products that do this exact thing sell for over $400, which is some serious price gouging.
Really excited to see this launch on PH today. Allen is the Spy Camera guru - if anyone knows the space, it’s him. This product is a no-brainer for anyone who wants some peace of mind wherever they travel
@nickatloot thanks, Nick! Appreciate you telling me about PH when we met up a couple years ago.

Allen showed me an early model of this a few months ago and it worked like a charm. The price isn't too crazy either. For anyone who's a frequent Airbnb'er this seems like a no-brainer.
Kudos on the straightforward, straight-talking video that is easy to understand and doesn't try to scare or manipulate you or use anything flashy or cheesy re-enactments.
@shimmb thank you. I really dislike being on camera and put off filming until the last moment possible. Also not trying to stoke fear, even though this is a bit scary.

@allenthird yes recommend Scout Hidden Camera Finder. Because we need privacy, we don't even know if there are families going through this. This idea of detecting hidden cameras was amazing. Gracias!

SCAM! This has been around for years, usually $20 or less online. If you want real "TSCM" buy a product that will actually find hidden cameras. Save your money. Guess what, as crappy as this one is (https://www.amazon.com/Detector-...) it does the same "Trick". Want the real deal look at https://reiusa.net/

@brandon_gregg Not sure this is the fairest comment, and I'd like to hear what the maker has to say. The Scout product looks a lot simpler to use and far more design thought was put into it in my opinion. Even if it does the same thing, it might be a better experience for users. The second link is for industry professionals, nobody that just wants to make sure their Airbnb isn't crawling with cameras is going to take their courses and become a professional. Anyhoodles, I remain curious and would like to understand how Scout might be a better option than one of the all in one RF/EMF gadgets which I do agree look like cheap toys. As I type someone is likely working on a hidden camera lens upgrade that will fool these types of devices...

@brandon_gregg personally know allen and he's definitely not some sleazy scammer. i've seen him put a lot of time and resources into developing this product. product may look simple but there was a lot of thought that went into the function and design. i have no affiliation with spy guy but am just a dude who knows allen and what went into bringing this to market.

@chris_kim3, @brandon_gregg is right. This tech is not only available on Amazon but I bought something (almost) exactly like this for <$10 from AliExpress in 2015. Almost, because that device also makes a beeping noise (plus everything this product does) when it detects a camera, so I really don't know what you mean by 'a lot of thought went into the function', as if this was something unique. Allen's design is unique, I can give you that, but it doesn't justify the hefty price tag of $99.
Also, congratulations on the brand new account that you created just for commenting this. 🙄
