Raspberry Pi device on my network
Raspberry Pi makes small, low-cost single-board computers.
What Raspberry Pi makes
Raspberry Pi boards are general-purpose computers used for hobby projects, home servers, network ad blockers such as Pi-hole, Home Assistant hubs, media centres, retro gaming and DIY cameras.
What the device on your network probably is
A small computer someone in the household set up, most often running a home server, ad blocker, home automation or media centre. It could also be a DIY camera or other project.
How to work out which device it is
Ask who in the household runs a Raspberry Pi. The hostname in the router list is often raspberrypi or a name chosen during setup. RECON's LAN Scan shows open services, such as a web page or SSH, which usually hints at what it is running.
Should you be worried
Usually a household project. Because it can run anything, including a camera, an unexplained Raspberry Pi is worth tracking down, especially on a network you do not control.
The app finds every device on the Wi-Fi you are on, at home or in a rental, and puts the vendor next to the hostname, the services it advertises and its open ports, which together usually name the product. Where it cannot tell, it says so instead of guessing. Get RECON for iPhone — one-time purchase, no account, nothing leaves the device.
