BlueSleuth-Lite is a professional-grade, pocket-sized detector built by Berkeley Varitronics Systems (BVS) to locate hidden Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) personal tags and other nearby wireless devices.

It is explicitly designed to identify unauthorized consumer trackers such as Apple AirTags, ሳምሰንግ ስማርትTags, and Tile Trackers to prevent unwanted tracking and stalking. The device features both Basic and Pro modes for intuitive visual tracking or high-precision numerical dBm measurements. Additionally, the BlueSleuth-Lite can continuously scan for a wide variety of wireless IoT devices, earbuds, and smartphones.
