Pinhole detectors specifically refer to devices used to detect hidden or inconspicuous cameras, such as invisible pinhole camera detectors. It uses radio waves or ultrasound to detect signals in the surrounding environment and analyze whether there are suspicious shooting devices present in these signals. Once a suspicious device is detected, the detector will immediately sound an alarm.
