Questions, answered plainly
What can Perimeter actually tell me?
Clear expectations are part of the product, not fine print.
What does Perimeter detect?+
Perimeter surfaces supported wireless observations near your iPhone. That includes
Bluetooth advertisements matching supported tracker or smart-glasses signal
profiles, and — during a guided Place Check — camera-related service names
advertised on the Wi-Fi network your iPhone is using. It does not inventory every
nearby device, and a supported match is a candidate rather than a confirmed product
identification.
Is Perimeter a hidden-camera detector?+
No. Perimeter is not a universal hidden-camera detector and cannot guarantee that a
hidden camera will be found. Its guided Place Check combines the sensing available
on an iPhone — supported Bluetooth observations, a local-network check, and optional
lens and photo tools — with a structured physical inspection you carry out yourself.
A camera that is wired, offline, cellular, or otherwise not broadcasting on a
supported channel may not be observed at all.
Can Perimeter tell if smart glasses are recording?+
No. A wireless observation cannot tell Perimeter whether glasses are recording or
who owns them. Perimeter can surface supported wireless signal patterns that may be
associated with compatible smart glasses, and it presents them as a candidate rather
than an identification.
How does Perimeter handle tracker-like activity?+
Perimeter looks for tracker-like observation patterns that persist after you move or
recur across separate locations before elevating a concern. A single nearby sighting
is not treated as suspicious on its own. Separate observations cannot always be
shown to come from the same physical device, and Perimeter reports that as
unresolved instead of assuming continuity.
Does a quiet scan mean the area is clear?+
No. Silent devices, connected devices, unsupported protocols, and devices outside
the iPhone’s available sensing modalities may not be observed. Bluetooth
availability and iOS operating conditions also affect what can be seen. A quiet
result is not evidence that a space is device-free.
Does Perimeter upload my scans or location?+
Core signal analysis runs on your iPhone, and Perimeter does not upload scan
results, nearby-device records, routes, photos, or saved checks to Perimeter-operated
servers. Information leaves the device only when a feature requires an external
platform service, or when you deliberately export, share, or submit it. The
Privacy Policy describes each case.
Is Perimeter available yet?+
Not yet. Perimeter is in pre-release testing for iPhone. Add your email below and
we’ll send one message when it is available.
What does “patent pending” mean?+
Patent pending. A U.S. provisional patent application was filed on August 7, 2026. A
pending application does not establish issued claims, and it is not a statement
about what the current app does.
