Passive clues for Axon/body cameras, Flock/ALPR vendors, camera glasses, Find My/DULT and other trackers, Flipper, Biscuit-family, Pineapple-style devices, Pwnagotchi, Remote ID, and more. Names and vendor prefixes can be spoofed or shared. This does not prove police presence, recording, ownership, or malicious intent. See the method-by-method coverage table.

By default it announces an encounter once, keeps updating its recent entry, and rearms after five minutes without seeing it. A separate family cooldown reduces alerts from rotating addresses. Optional five-minute reminders and confidence filtering are in Detection settings. The encounter ledger is bounded to 128 entries.

Use desktop Chrome or Edge on HTTPS, a data cable, and close anything using the serial port. Hold the bottom RST button beside the SD slot for about three seconds; release when its LED turns green, then choose the newly appearing ESP32 port. If flashing is interrupted, repeat the installer in boot mode. Never erase the whole flash to fix a connection. See troubleshooting and restore instructions.

It is an offline personality engine with original animation, bounded servo gestures, and synthesized phrases. It passively examines radio metadata. Watching is passive. An explicitly configured upload joins your chosen Wi-Fi after recording stops. It never jams, deauthenticates, decrypts, or stores Wi-Fi data payloads. The ESP32-S3 sees 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and BLE; it cannot provide 5 GHz, Bluetooth Classic, or sub-GHz coverage.

Only new Wi-Fi BSSIDs successfully written during a wardrive with a usable GPS fix count. Five discoveries earn +12 fuel; each earns XP. BLE, petting, synthetic demos, and background watching don't feed it. Per-session approximate deduplication may miss a snack on very large drives, but avoids farming the same network repeatedly within a session.
