How ELK-BLEDOM functions as hidden camera
Some people use hidden cameras to spy on unsuspecting victims—including in hotels and Airbnbs.
Fortunately, the ELK-BLEDOM lights don’t work as a hidden camera. The ELK-BLEDOM Bluetooth hidden camera rumors probably began when people noticed it in their Bluetooth lists and didn’t recognize the name.
Whether it’s a hotel worker or a landlord spying on tenants, hidden cameras have been in the news lately. So, it makes sense that users were suspicious when they saw a device they didn’t recognize.
While the ELK-BLEDOM hidden camera rumors haven’t been proven, it’s always possible that someone might give a secret recording device an innocent name like ELK-BLEDOM. So, if you’re worried about an ELK-BLEDOM Bluetooth hidden camera, check out our article on how to find hidden cameras.
How to identify ELK-BLEDOM hidden camera
You can use your phone, tablet, or computer to see if ELK-BLEDOM is in range of your Bluetooth. It doesn’t matter whether you use an iPhone, Android, Mac, or Windows. Simply open your Bluetooth settings. Is ELK-BLEDOM listed? If it is, someone near you may own these strip lights.
Expert tip
To check whether they’re strip lights, download an LED controller app from the App Store or the Google Play Store. If you can access them there, they’re almost certainly not a hidden camera.
Just because ELK-BLEDOM isn’t a hidden camera, though, doesn’t mean that you’re always safe. If you’re concerned about secret recording devices, search your home regularly—especially in areas where you undress.

- Open Clario Anti Spy and, under Spy cam detector, tap Scan.
- Wait for the scan to run.
- When the scan is complete, look for any suspicious devices near you.
If you’ve found a hidden camera or you’re concerned that someone is watching you through your phone camera, get yourself to safety as soon as possible and contact law enforcement in your area.
Security concerns related to ELK-BLEDOM
Although the ELK-BLEDOM Bluetooth hidden camera rumors are false, there are some security concerns.
The ELK-BLEDOM strip lights don’t use any form of Bluetooth security. That means if you or a neighbor owns them, anyone nearby can connect to them and change their settings.
How to remove ELK-BLEDOM
If you’re still concerned, you might want to remove ELK-BLEDOM from your Bluetooth list.
You can do this in a few ways:
- Turn off Bluetooth if you don’t regularly use it. However, this may disable connections to your Apple Watch, AirPods, car speaker or display, or other devices.
- If you’ve previously connected to ELK-BLEDOM, disconnect (or unpair) from it. Simply click or tap ELK-BLEDOM in your Bluetooth list and choose Forget.
- If you own the ELK-BLEDOM strip lights, get rid of them if you’re concerned about their security.
However, if you need to continue using Bluetooth and a neighbor owns the ELK-BLEDOM strip lights, you may not be able to remove them from your Bluetooth list entirely. But remember, just because they access a Bluetooth connection, it doesn’t mean that ELK-BLEDOM is a hidden camera.
Conclusion
The ELK-BLEDOM hidden camera rumors most likely aren’t true. It’s a generic Bluetooth name, and it’s usually used by a brand of strip lights.
Just because they’re usually safe doesn’t mean that you should always trust new entries on your Bluetooth list. Guard your privacy and security with Clario Anti Spy, and use Spycam Detector to check for hidden recording devices.
