The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media’s coverage of how people are using Meta’s Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”

    There are also inexpensive ESP32-based Nest Flock camera detectors out there. They work by detecting their Bluetooth & Wi-Fi traffic, specifically by scanning for manufacturers’ OUIs on MAC addresses.

      That’s nice, but I wish there would be a way to somehow intercept traffic and send them some “warning” video in place of their recording…

      Or something else that makes their recording useless or broken ^^
