Eye Spy Display | Surveillance, Tracker, ALPR & Drone Awareness Detector with 2” IPS Screen
Before You Order
- Device: M5Stack Basic with a 2-inch IPS display, speaker and physical buttons.
- Power: Integrated 110mAh rechargeable battery and USB-C connection; charge before use.
- Detection: Supported Bluetooth LE and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signatures for tracker, ALPR, camera and compatible drone awareness. Detection depends on supported signatures and scanning windows.
Detection limits: Supported wireless signatures must be observable within range. A device can go undetected; no alert does not establish that an area is free of surveillance equipment.

Important Detection Limitations
Eye Spy identifies supported wireless signatures. It does not detect the physical presence of every camera, tracker, microphone, drone, ALPR system, or surveillance device.
Detection depends on the target exposing a supported wireless characteristic while Eye Spy is observing the relevant radio mode or channel.
A device might go undetected when its relevant radio is disabled, its signature changes, its signal is too weak, it operates on an unsupported protocol or frequency, or its transmission occurs outside the applicable Eye Spy scanning window.
Manufacturers also change firmware, hardware, identifiers, and wireless behavior over time.
No detections should therefore be interpreted as confirmation that an area contains no surveillance or tracking equipment.
Broad Surveillance Awareness Without a Subscription
Eye Spy Display combines a larger 2-inch screen, audible alerts, physical controls, Bluetooth LE monitoring, Wi-Fi monitoring, confidence-based scoring, persistent-device awareness, and open-source firmware in a compact ESP32 platform.
It gives you one local device for awareness of supported trackers, ALPR systems, body-camera equipment, drones, surveillance cameras, smart glasses, and other wireless technologies.
No cloud account. No subscription. No required phone.
Eye Spy is developed by SimeonOnSecurity and offered preconfigured by STS Collective.

- Support: Contact support@stscollective.com for setup and product questions.
- Lawful use: Use only on hardware, networks, cards, radio bands, and systems you own or have explicit permission to test. Follow applicable laws, platform rules, privacy rules, and radio regulations. Do not access, copy, interfere with, or disrupt other people's systems.
DIY flashing option
Flashing your own compatible device is usually manageable when you follow the project guide. STS Collective provides a ready-to-use flashed device for customers who prefer convenience. You do not need to buy a flashed unit to use the project.
Use the guide for your exact board and selected firmware:
- FlockYou project and flashing guide
- Eye Spy project and flashing guide
- Upstream project documentation
Confirm the board revision, firmware target, power requirements, and current release before flashing. Reflashing replaces the installed firmware and may erase settings.
Hardware origin, packaging, and firmware
This listing uses standard off-the-shelf OEM hardware from the original hardware manufacturer. STS Collective is not the hardware manufacturer. The hardware supplied matches the hardware shown in this listing.
STS Collective develops and flashes STS firmware, or flashes firmware from the original developer identified below. Your order is packaged to represent the physical hardware, not the firmware. When original packaging is supplied, it is OEM packaging for the hardware model. Fulfillment handling sometimes removes original packaging or uses other shipping packaging. Packaging does not identify the firmware developer.
Firmware developer
- Eye Spy: SimeonOnSecurity developed the installed firmware with sponsorship from STS Collective.
STS Collective flashes the identified firmware before shipment. The installed firmware does not change the source or manufacturer of the physical hardware.
