METHOD FOR DETECTING VIDEO MONITORING DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

This application provides a method for detecting a video surveillance device and an electronic device. In the method, the electronic device determines a target detection channel based on information about an access point around the electronic device, where signal strength of the channel is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, and/or the channel is a channel whose frequency band is a 2.4 GHz frequency band; and obtains traffic data corresponding to a target device on the channel, and determines, based on the traffic data and a detection model, whether the target device is a video surveillance device. The solutions provided in this application can improve comprehensiveness and accuracy of detecting the video surveillance device, thereby reducing occurrence of a user privacy infringement event, and ensuring user privacy security.
