Doesn’t Guest Isolation makes this scan ineffective?
Most routers I’ve used have this option for guest networks, and some even had it for the regular WIFI network

I've used the fing app on several hotel networks as a test, but I stopped doing that as it shows way too many things I'm not supposed to know and if you read the small print of many guest WiFis, you're not allowed to scan the network.
In the end, it's the digital equivalent of snooping around in people's rooms. But I do understand the fear of "the hidden camera in the bathroom". On the other hand, if an (air)BnB/hotel/motel does this and people discover it, it's game, set and match for them.1 -

My fingbox can see all devices even those on the segregated guest network but as its still the same subnet and all uses ARP it still works.I have deliberately setup my home network with only 1 VLAN due to the limitation of fingbox being only able to scan one (and I don't fancy buying multiple Fingboxes - one for each VLAN). Perhaps with the Mac/Linux version (if/when it is released) then I will be able to setup the VLAN I would like.1

Rule #1 when staying in a hotel: never use the Free WiFi unless you're then using a non-splt tunnel VPN.
Hotel WiFi is like hotel bed covers and remote controks - rife with all manner of unpleasantries...
Anything you think you can do, others have already done worse...
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.4 -
Can anyone tell me what to look for when it comes to hidden cameras.. I think my landlord's husband is stalking me. I am not terribly tech savvy but I am rattled!

@LottieSnark , if you have a fingbox, and assuming you do not share a network with your landlord, you could use the digital fence feature to look for new devices nearby. The fing app is pretty good at identifying devices and what they are (Phone, router, camera, etc) so at minimum with the Fingbox out there scanning, you would know if there were any cameras nearby. Keep in mind that if the camera is wired to the network and not wireless and your on a different network, fingbox will not see it. If you don't have a fing box, you would need to be on your landlords network for Fing to discover everything on the landlords network, including Cameras.
