For those that don’t know Project Farm, and are ready to hit ‘back’ after hearing him talk for 2 seconds, stick it out.

He’s incredibly thorough and detailed in how he tests and ranks things. And he tests all kinds of things, from drill bits and bed liner paints to portable battery banks.

This guy is an absolute gem of a scientific reviewer. He tests real world use cases for damn near everything. Before I buy anything I search his channel. One of my all time best YouTube subscriptions.
How does a 'camera detector' (/hidden device detector) detect the hidden camera/device? (curious as to whether they give many false-positives when used in real settings, e.g. airbnb or hotel room).
> Brands: JMDHKK, KAXYUYA, JAXTIN, HUYNL, NAVFALCON, SMHAWK, AORDERN, Abyliee, Obsitwy, Suntony, SEVENPARK, PolesNow, MGMCM were tested.

Are there really zero reputable companies who make these products? I did some searching of my own too and all I can find are ones from ones from other trademark loophole alphabet soup brands like these.

This thing is great when traveling. I guess I'm gonna get one ($30 is just good enough I guess) just to scan my hotel/airbnb rooms.
a good spy cam doesnt have strong RF emitting output. Noway those cheap gadgets will detect those spycams.
I'd prefer to make my own, does anybody know a schematic I could use?
Oh Product Farm, I do love his videos. His testing methods are... interesting sometimes but always entertaining and very much "What do I have laying around that I could test this thing with".

While I don't always agree on the rankings that's absolutely fine because I can cherry-pick the stats I DO care about and see products used in different scenarios than you get from the product page alone.

The title of the video is "This Gadget exposed a Spy Camera". Without the word "this" I found the title on HN impossible to parse.

Also, just wondering, wouldn't it better to show the YouTube channel name, rather than just "youtube.com"?
