About this app

Watch Tower Pro maps 670,000+ publicly documented surveillance cameras worldwide — government CCTV, police license-plate readers (ALPR), speed and red-light enforcement, traffic monitoring, and dome cameras — and alerts you before you walk or drive into range.

Most people pass a dozen cameras a day without noticing. Watch Tower Pro is a privacy-awareness tool: it shows you what's documented so you can make informed decisions about where you go and how you get there.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.4.2

- Refreshed worldwide database: 670,344 cameras, rebuilt across all seven continents and de-duplicated so no two entries share a location.

- Wider detection of mapped cameras, especially speed, red-light and plate-reader sites.

- Fixes to the camera-reporting screen and the Settings source list.

App Store

Version 1.5 · 2026-09-28
This release rebuilds the camera database and fixes a number of defects found in a full pre-release audit, including several affecting proximity alerts. CAMERA DATABASE - Refreshed worldwide database — 670,344 documented cameras, rebuilt from a complete OpenStreetMap pass across all seven continents plus published government transportation-agency feeds. Every entry is de-duplicated, so no two cameras share a location. - Wider detection of mapped cameras, so more speed, red-light and automated plate-reader sites appear than before. - An interrupted first load can no longer leave a partial database behind that never repairs itself. PROXIMITY ALERTS - Fixed: alerts now fire when the app is…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
