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!

See the attached picture. You may have to really search to find if it's similar. The camera is smaller than a postage stamp. The strip is about 6-7 inches. But, it needs a power source. An outlet or, sneakier still, another electronic device such as a TV or cable box (that's where I found one plugged in.) Forgive my suspicion but I have found something like this on two separate occasions as well as other surveillance devices at other times. It seems there are enough people that are so distrustful of others they keep the market for these hidden devices going.
ELK-BLEDOM Bluetooth device shows up at seemingly random times on my phone as well. I can't "forget devive" either. Factory reset of my phone won't get rid of it. We have no strip lights nor have we ever had 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.
Look for anything Black and search too to bottom if found can track back to who purchased
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
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!
Hi,
I recently purchased a LEGO Super Mario set for my 5 year old son. The Mario and Luigie characters are battery operated and have a light up face and screen on their chest along with a light/scanner that works to recognize a certain code on some of the blocks. There is a bluetooth feature on these two characters so they can interact with an app game.
ELK-BLEDOM seems to be the device name when trying to connect them via Bluetooth. I have not been able to pair them with my device (Apple Ipad Pro 11" (3rd Generation) with software version 15.3.1
A Google search yielded this (a light strip):

Elk-Bledom not only are they called LED STRIP LIGHTS, it is also a known hidden camera device that is Bluetooth compatible.
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.

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
My ELK-BLEDOM device is a Bluetooth wireless camera that is part of my Security alarm system.
What is ELK-BLEDOM Bluetooth device?
