Almost certainly malware

If smart phones came with X ray emitters they would be banned

It's not seeing of course, but a clever idea if it works.

Gadgeteer review

http://the-gadgeteer.com/2016/11/15/walabot-diy-review/

quote

I hate to say it, but I find the Walabot DIY a clumsy, mediocre electronic stud
finder that requires a semi-dedicated Android smartphone to work with the results
not worth the effort. A $20-30 electronic stud finder requires no prep time or hassle
to get the job done. I grant you the Walabot DIY can locate water pipes and electrical
wiring but anyone with any experience at all would know the approximate location
of either in a bust into a wall or demolition type of situation. The DIY is normally
$249 but is currently on sale for $199.either way, it's a relatively expensive (niche)
tool that a homeowner may use a handful of times or a professional might never need.

/quote

As with reviews of the same model of a cheap stud finder you can find some users who
rave about
them and others who can't seem to work out how to use them.

Well, it's a radar array, the techniques are sound ...

Big Clive had a look at it, a year ago.

A look at (and inside) the Walabot "X-ray camera." (not actual x-rays!)

It requires £600 of additional electronics to be fitted/attached to the
phone.

For anyone wanting cheap single transceiver radar, rather than expensive
array radar sensors to play with

That FCC link says it operates between 3.3GHz and 10GHz, which is a
pretty wide range. But still below far infrared, let alone x-rays.

Restricted to 6.3-8.3GHz in europe, which still seems much wider than
the 5.8GHz ISM band,

Looks promising.

I emailed their tech support about suitability of my phone & got a
response in 5 minutes, that alone was a good start....

I usually find anything sharp finds cables with monotonous inevitability.

Terrible web site, no headers to navigate with links with no text associated
with them and no up front description of what it is. Is it perhaps mini
ground penetrating radar as used by some police forces?

It is radar, they also don't seem to understand their target markets
very well, they're attempting to sell lower functionality versions with
fewer aerials, a narrower frequency range and higher price as bare PCBs
to hackers.

Don't they realise the hacker mindset will buy the cheaper boxed DIY
version, rip the PCB out and find a way to convince the board to
re-enable all frequencies?

Brian,

At a quick glance it appears to be a standard joist/pipe locator linked to a
smartphone app which offers a graphic visualisation of what's detected.

Its phased radar, normal joist/pipe detectors are just coils that change
frequency when you pass over a dielectric material/metal.

Ah - right. So pretty graphics on something just as useless for the task
needed? ;-)
