ZuckOff 是一款免费应用，能在 Meta 眼镜发现你之前先发现它们
ZuckOff, a free Bluetooth detection app built by 30-year-old Polish developer Pawel Szydlowski, will tell you whether there is a pair of smart glasses in the room with you. In its launch month, it was reportedly downloaded by over 5,000 people on Apple’s App Store. As of writing, it had been downloaded 1,000 times on the Google Play Store.
ZuckOff 是一款由 30 岁的波兰开发者 Pawel Szydlowski 开发的免费蓝牙检测应用，它能告诉你所在的房间内是否有智能眼镜。据报道，该应用在苹果 App Store 上线的第一个月下载量就超过了 5,000 次。截至撰稿时，它在 Google Play 商店的下载量也已达到 1,000 次。
Meta’s smart glasses have had a hefty share of scrutiny over the past few months. Unsolicited filming is a growing public safety concern, with venues like schools and cinemas increasingly banning their usage outright.
过去几个月里，Meta 的智能眼镜受到了广泛的审视。未经许可的拍摄正成为日益严重的公共安全问题，学校和电影院等场所正越来越多地直接禁止使用此类设备。
Szydlowski recorded the Bluetooth signals broadcast by various models of smart glasses, building a digital fingerprint for each of them. He bought the hardware himself to compile the data that flags when a unique identifier matches up with a manufacturer identifier, catching models like Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta and Snap Spectacles in the vicinity.
Szydlowski 记录了各种型号智能眼镜广播的蓝牙信号，并为每款设备建立了数字指纹。他自费购买了这些硬件来收集数据，当设备的唯一标识符与制造商标识符匹配时，应用就会发出警报，从而捕捉到附近的 Ray-Ban Meta、Oakley Meta 和 Snap Spectacles 等型号。
A BBC investigation in January traced dozens of accounts that posted content filmed with Meta glasses, one of which posted a 21-year-old woman’s face and phone number, amassing over 1.3 million views.
今年 1 月，BBC 的一项调查追踪了数十个发布 Meta 眼镜拍摄内容的账号，其中一个账号发布了一名 21 岁女性的面部照片和电话号码，获得了超过 130 万次的浏览量。
The recording indicator light on these glasses have proven fairly easy to defeat with a bit of tape, allowing a growing number of wearers to record without being detected. Roughly seven million pairs of Meta’s smart glasses were sold in 2025.
事实证明，这些眼镜上的录制指示灯只需贴上一小块胶带就能轻松遮挡，这使得越来越多的佩戴者可以在不被察觉的情况下进行录制。2025 年，Meta 的智能眼镜销量约为 700 万副。
In July, Meta announced that it would push an update to detect when an LED light has been “physically tampered with or destroyed” and stop people from being able to film using those cameras. In an Instagram video, Meta chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth stated that they designed this camera to be noticed by the people around you. This is despite the fact that one of the product’s key commercial propositions is that the camera doesn’t look like a camera.
今年 7 月，Meta 宣布将推送一项更新，用于检测 LED 指示灯是否被“物理篡改或破坏”，并禁止用户使用这些摄像头进行拍摄。Meta 首席技术官 Andrew Bosworth 在一段 Instagram 视频中表示，他们设计这款摄像头的初衷就是为了让周围的人注意到它。尽管该产品的一个核心商业卖点恰恰是——它的摄像头看起来不像摄像头。
ZuckOff is not, however, able to tell you whether a pair of glasses nearby is recording, nor can it tell you who is wearing them. It reads signal strength to give you rough proximity information, which turns an invisible problem into a partially visible one, which at the very least is worth something until legislators take further global action.
然而，ZuckOff 无法告诉你附近的眼镜是否正在录制，也无法告诉你佩戴者是谁。它通过读取信号强度来提供大致的距离信息，将一个隐形的问题变成了一个部分可见的问题。在立法者采取进一步的全球行动之前，这至少是有一定价值的。
It’s also a pretty difficult thing for Meta to legally take down, since it isn’t intercepting anything and the signals the app reads are legal. The hardware is as easy as it is cheap to copy and paste. Its basic scanning feature is free on iPhone, and a ZuckOff Pro version is available to purchase, with additional features like continuous background monitoring, widgets, alerts, sighting history and CSV export.
Meta 在法律上也很难下架这款应用，因为它没有拦截任何内容，且应用读取的信号是合法的。这种硬件的复制和模仿既简单又廉价。其基础扫描功能在 iPhone 上是免费的，用户也可以购买 ZuckOff Pro 版本，获得持续后台监控、小组件、警报、发现历史记录和 CSV 导出等额外功能。
