SentryPod is a wireless handheld scanner that turns your Android device into a professional counter-surveillance kit. Three-antenna directional finding, a dedicated scanning radio, Zigbee & Thread detection, precision EMF, and infrared camera detection — streaming live to the SentryRF app over Bluetooth.
Price and availability to be announced. Requires the SentryRF app on an Android device. Pairs over Bluetooth — no cable. Recharges via USB-C.
SentryRF's AI is already powerful on your phone alone. SentryPod adds hardware sensors that no phone has.
| Capability | Phone Only | Phone + SentryPod |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated scanning radio | Shared with calls, WiFi, hotspot | Yes — nothing else competes for it |
| Direction to threat | No — distance only | Yes — real-time bearing arrow |
| External antennas | One internal, shared | Three, arranged for direction finding |
| On-device IR flicker analysis | No | Yes — runs on the Pod, not the phone |
| EMF / magnetometer quality | Phone sensor (noisy) | Dedicated sensor, 4× more sensitive |
| Infrared camera detection | No (phone has IR filter) | Yes — sees invisible infrared LEDs |
| 802.15.4 (Zigbee / Thread) | No | Yes — spy camera mesh networks |
| Coded PHY (BLE Long Range) | Phone dependent | Always available — guaranteed |
| Rechargeable, works away from the phone | n/a | Yes — USB-C, no cable while scanning |
| Physical TSCM sweep probe | Sweep the phone itself | Wireless handheld wand — phone stays as display |
SentryPod packs dedicated counter-surveillance hardware that no phone has — streaming live to SentryRF's existing sweep screens over Bluetooth.
Your phone's radio is shared with calls, WiFi, hotspot and every app on it. SentryPod's radio does nothing but hunt. No contention, no dropped windows, no OS throttling — it listens while your phone stays free to think.
Dedicated radio · no contentionHidden cameras pulse their IR illuminators at characteristic frequencies. SentryPod runs the frequency analysis on the Pod itself and reports what it found — so the detection happens at the sensor, in real time, not after a round trip to your phone.
315 – 928 MHz · packet-level analysisAn 18-bit dedicated magnetometer at 0.0625 µT resolution, held away from your phone's own noisy electronics — because the Pod is a separate wireless wand. Detects powered circuit boards, camera motors, and active electronics hidden behind walls and furniture.
18-bit resolution · hardware-calibratedSees infrared LEDs that your phone literally cannot. Night-vision cameras emit 850/940 nm IR light — invisible to human eyes and filtered out by phone cameras. SentryPod's unfiltered photodiode sits behind its own shrouded window, isolated from the Pod's own status LED.
850 – 940 nm · unfiltered detectionThree antennas arranged around the wand head, switched in sequence, let the app compute a bearing to any transmitting device — no cooperation required from the target. Sweep the wand and follow the compass arrow to the hidden device.
360° coverage · real-time bearingLong Range (Coded PHY) is guaranteed on the Pod, not left to whatever your handset happens to support. Plus full advertisement capture — including the extended and periodic advertising that trackers use to stay quiet.
+13 dB receive gain · BLE 5.4Captures 2.4 GHz beacons and probe requests in monitor mode without joining any network. Identifies hidden cameras, rogue access points, and surveillance devices through radio fingerprinting and vendor identification — the band nearly every hidden camera actually uses.
Multi-band WiFi · passive captureNo phone on the market scans 802.15.4 natively. SentryPod detects Zigbee mesh camera networks, Thread IoT spy devices, and industrial sensors — an entirely invisible protocol to phone-only scanners.
802.15.4 · mesh network detectionThe SentryRF app already runs 21 detection engines and 11 AI models on your phone. SentryPod gives those engines data they've never had before.
Top it up over USB-C, then hold the button. SentryRF finds the Pod over Bluetooth and pairs in seconds — no cable, no dongle, no account.
SentryPod feeds BLE, WiFi and 802.15.4 (Zigbee/Thread) straight into SentryRF's existing 21 detection engines and 11 AI models — from a radio that does nothing else. Same AI, better inputs.
Tap any suspicious device, then "Hunt with Pod." Hold the wand UP-side up and sweep — the three-antenna array feeds a live bearing, and the compass arrow guides you in.
Switch to Physical Sweep mode. Move the wand along walls, furniture and fixtures. The app's gauges show live EMF and IR — with your phone in your other hand, not taped to the probe.
| Capability | Tracker detection apps | Spectrum analyzers | Phone + SentryPod |
|---|---|---|---|
| Device identification by name | Some (BLE only) | No — raw signals only | Yes — thousands of devices |
| AI behavioral analysis | No | No | 21 engines + 11 AI models |
| Direction to threat | No | Only with a directional antenna + skill | Built-in 3-antenna array, live arrow |
| 802.15.4 (Zigbee / Thread cameras) | No | Raw signal only | Yes — decoded and identified |
| WiFi monitor-mode capture | No | Yes | Yes — passive, with vendor ID |
| EMF sweep for hidden electronics | No | No | Yes — precision sensor |
| IR camera detection | No | No | Yes — sees invisible LEDs |
| 24/7 background monitoring | Some (limited) | No | Yes — learns what's normal |
| Requires RF expertise | No | Yes — significant | No — AI interprets everything |
| Works with your phone | Yes | Standalone device | Yes — wireless, phone is the display |
Tracker detection apps include AirGuard, Tracker Detect, and similar. Spectrum analyzers include devices like TinySA and SDR dongles.
SentryRF's 21 detection engines and 11 AI models already run on your phone. SentryPod adds the hardware your phone was never designed to have — a radio that does nothing but hunt, a three-antenna array that points at the threat, a real magnetometer, and an infrared eye. Pair it and let the AI do the rest.
