This question was asked recently and timed out. Nearly 150 people had the same question, but we haven’t had resolution.
What is it? Why do so many people have this listed in Bluetooth under “Other Devices”?
Thank you!
iPhone X, iOS 14
Can you elaborate on the hidden camera device? Like what brand it is or something? Can't find any information on it, but Elk-Bledom is appearing on "other devices" on my iPhone bluetooth and we don't have LED strip lights.
Kind of creepy. Device sitting on a shelf for a year or two and presumed to have a dead battery, yet advertises itself on Bluetooth.
These are the lights we have that Bluetooth connect to everyone’s phone all over our house
What an interesting thread. I recently got a new Bluetooth mouse I went to Perrett thinking I was pairing the mouse because it had a similar name wouldn't pair then realized I didn't turn the mouse on and it showed up. So the next the hunt went on to find out what this random Bluetooth device was showing up in the list. Thanks to searching for it this thread is the top hit on DuckDuckGo as I started really reading I realized I bought a color changing screw in lightbulb couple weeks back and I believe it had Bluetooth sure enough that's what it was. it's the kind of thing you buy at five below for five dollars. The Vibe FB-BAPP I think that's the model the box is just so descriptive. The package is so inspiringly accurate as it says it's a "class 1 LED product" and remember "LED radiation do not stare into beam" I think they got this thing confused with a class 1 laser product like a CD player, laser pointer or more powerful lasers that can burn through things and cause major eye damage when pointed at eyes, reflecting objects and animals.
As for hidden cameras that's ridiculous, and illegal in most states if it's recording audio...... I think if I found one I would document it and call the non-emergency contact for the police and ask what to do they might want to confiscate/fingerprint I don't know. Or maybe a lawyer to ask what legally you can do.
Any of you guys happen to live in Louisiana?
After searching online for days ( lol ) I am getting basically no where with this.
i’ve come across suggestions of “security” devices linked to a raspberry pi.
led light strips
hidden recording/cameras that are made to look like smoke alarms/door alarms/regular household decor.
Look for anything Black and search too to bottom if found can track back to who purchased
I think I found a solution. Go to ur settings and search “location” go down to “system services” turn off “networking & wireless” when u do wanna connect to a device try to do it with that mode on. If it doesn’t work, turn it off while u use the device u want & then turn it off. If they can’t find ur location they can’t connect! It’s worked for me so far!
Apple has no solution for this problem unless you purchase Expensive elk-bledom device!
This is what’s happening to me now and driving me crazy but reading this now confirms it more cos I found solar or smoke thingy like a wall plug size and it’s 100% raspberry pi.so it must be a camera
A Google search yielded this (a light strip):

Why don't you help people out and give a link to the Elk product page, pointing out which one is a 'hidden camera'. They all look innocuous.
Это светодиодная лента
Thank you!
it seems a bit odd that a neighbor’s device would show up in my Bluetooth selection. But at least I know now it’s legit. Thanks!
I’d like to know more about that, too!
I see elk bledom at my moms and dads and my moms doesn’t have led lights and I can never connect to them
What is ELK-BLEDOM Bluetooth device?
