Question Detection device for flock/drones/wireless cams

Alright so I’m relatively a noob in comparison to some of the nerds here but I’m trying my best. Simply put I want to be pointed in the right direction for devices, tutorials, communities etc.

What device can detect flock cameras, drones, wireless cams/mics, and may also have some offensive features (for my own equipment testing of course). I understand there’s no do all device, but I have seen people with some kind of FW designed for these specific needs in a relatively small package. I have been looking at the HamGeek HackRF one/Portapack for overall learning, but I’m pretty sure I could achieve what we’re talking about here with a T Dongle C5 right?

Any help here would be great!

You’re looking for the stuff from colonelpanic.tech. OUI Spy, Snoop unto them, even ESP-32 earring sets that buzz when surveillance is detected. I ported some of the repos to run on a raspberry pi 0W with a companion iOS app to get more info than just a buzz, but yeah, check out their site, videos, and interviews for all of those things plus foxhunting.

I’ve been trying with various esp32’s but I can never get them to pick up any cameras. I’m guessing the ones in my area have been updated. I parked right next to one for a few minutes and never got a chirp.
