[0002] There is a possibility that a photographing device such as a camera is illegally installed in a public toilet or a hotel guest room, stealing the privacy information of the photographed person, which has been a problem troubling society. Moreover, with the improvement of electronic device technology, the functions of photographing cameras are becoming more and more diverse. For example, the photographing camera has a basic photographing function, and at the same time, it further has a red light supplementary light lamp, can realize a night photographing function, further has a wireless transmission function, can transmit the video obtained by photographing to the outside, further has a recording function, can photograph a video and at the same time record sound, and further has a magnetic adsorption attachment function, making it easy to attach the camera to various metal members and facilitating photographing. However, because the functions of conventional detection devices are relatively single, it is difficult to discover a hidden camera during detection. Moreover, conventional detection devices are very large in volume, difficult to carry, and very expensive, and the purchase cost burden is relatively large for ordinary consumers.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 11, there is provided a portable multi-functional detection device, which includes a housing 1, a hand-held portion 11 is provided on the housing 1, a control circuit board 2 is provided in the housing 1, an infrared detector 3 and a red light generator 4 are provided on the housing 1, and both the infrared detector 3 and the red light generator 4 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 2. Here, the infrared detector 3 is used to detect the red light emitted from a camera, the red light generator 4 is used to emit red light towards the camera, and a signal detection module 5 is further provided on the control circuit board 2 and is used to detect whether there is a communication signal in the surroundings.

[0020] With the installation of the above structure, the detection of the infrared detector, the detection of the red light generator, and the signal detection module are integrated into the detection device of this patent. When in use, it can be held by hand at the hand-held portion of the detection device housing for detection. During the detection process, if it is found that the infrared detector has detected red light, there is a high possibility that a camera exists in the detection space. Here, the infrared detector may be an infrared sensor.

[0021] Moreover, the red light emitted from the red light generator can irradiate the detection space. If a camera exists in the detection space, under the irradiation of the red light, the lens of the camera can reflect the red light well, and the user can easily discover the existence of the camera. Here, the red light generator 4 is an LED red light lamp.

[0022] Furthermore, if the signal detection module detects the presence of a communication signal in its surroundings, there is a high probability that a camera is present within the detection area. Here, the signal detection module may be a radio frequency signal detection module for detecting radio frequency signals, and specifically, it can cover the detection of all band signals of 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G. In addition, the radio frequency signal detection module has high, medium, and low detection sensitivities, which the user can switch between as needed. Furthermore, the housing is provided with buttons to adjust the corresponding signal detection sensitivity. For example, high detection sensitivity indicates that signals with relatively weak signal strength can be detected, medium detection sensitivity indicates that signals with average signal strength can be detected, and low detection sensitivity indicates that only signals with relatively strong signal strength can be detected. Furthermore, the housing may have a display used to show the strength of the detected signal.

[0023] At the same time, in actual use, the signal detection module can also be used to detect hidden Wi-Fi routers, hidden GPS locators, GSM trackers, and the like.

[0024] In summary, the detection device of this patent integrates various methods for detecting cameras, achieving multi-dimensional detection and effectively addressing the increasingly diverse functions of hidden cameras. At the same time, as mentioned above, the detector can be further extended for use, better protecting user privacy. Moreover, the detection device is portable, easy to use, and relatively inexpensive, making it advantageous for widespread adoption and use.

[0029] In some embodiments, the detection device further includes an optical filter 9, which can filter out light rays other than red light when a user observes the camera through the optical filter 9. When detection is performed using a red light generator, the combination of this with the use of an optical filter makes it easier to detect hidden cameras and increases the effectiveness of the device. Specifically, the wavelength of light rays that can pass through the optical filter 9 is from 600 nm to 1100 nm. The optical filter is a red optical filter.

[0031] Furthermore, when the slide cover 12 slides closed, it is housed within the housing 1 and shields the red light generator 4. When the slide cover 12 slides open, the optical filter 9 shifts position relative to the housing 1, exposing the red light generator 4. In this way, the detection structure is made more rational and the overall integration of the external form is enhanced.

In this way, the magnetic detector may be electrically connected to the control circuit board via the conductive hose, thereby enabling detection by the extension of the conductive hose. This structure is particularly well-suited for detection when the camera is in a hidden position such as a corner. Here, the conductive hose may have a hose outer layer, with a conductor provided inside the hose for electrical conductivity. Both the first and second connection terminals are USB ports.

[0036] In some embodiments, the detection device further includes an ultrasonic generator 10 electrically connected to a control circuit board 2 for emitting ultrasonic waves to the outside to interfere with recording.

In addition, a mounting bracket 19 for the ultrasonic generator is provided inside the housing and used for mounting the ultrasonic generator. The mounting bracket is installed in a groove in the housing.

[0037] Furthermore, an ultrasonic processing module 23 is provided on the control circuit board 2, and the ultrasonic processing module 23 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic generator 10. The ultrasonic processing module can control the ultrasonic generator to facilitate user operation.
