Abstract

This innovative pinhole camera detection device combines wireless signal detection and image recognition technology to identify pinhole cameras continuously emitting wireless signals in specific spaces and uses human figure recognition for identity tracking. When the connection time exceeds a preset threshold, the system automatically generates an anomaly or alert message and immediately notifies relevant personnel. This device effectively enhances the security of private spaces such as changing rooms, restrooms, and hotels, enabling remote monitoring and reducing the risk of surreptitious filming.
