- 【Four Scanning Modes】The stud finder provides four scanning modes in total for detection. Depending on the tasks you have, you can switch to the desired mode. The STUD SCAN is used for finding and locating the center and edges of wood or metal studs up to 3/4 in (19mm) deep; DEEP MODE for scanning walls for 1.5 in (38mm) deep; METAL SCAN for locating and detecting metal up to 2.25 in (60mm) deep; and AC SCAN for locating live AC wires up to 2 in (51mm) deep.
- 【Graphical LCD Display】The Sensor Wall Scanner Beam Finder has a graphical LCD, which indicates many cues in detection, such as detection mode, signal strength, automatic calibration, battery indication with maximum readability. And the Low Battery Indicator icon displays when the battery level is getting low, reminding you to replace a brand new 9-volt battery in time. * For transportation safety reasons, the stud finder does not contain the battery.
- 【Sound Warning】The multi-function stud finder offers the beep signal alert. When you have detected an object with the wall scanner, it will beep continually. The big sound warning together with the LCD screen helps detect the accurate location of the objects. Then a peck shape will display on the graphical screen. You can use the pencil to point the location of the object. The audible and visible cues reliably keep users informed when any object, such as metal, studs, AC live wiring gets found.
- 【Automatic Calibration】The Stud Finder Wall Scanner would automatically calibrate itself when it is turned on. Please kindly noted that the calibration needs to be done by holding the stud finder on the wall where there are no wood studs, AC wires or metal. The automatic calibration is accurate and precise, providing users with maximum reliability, greatly reducing errors and makes sure that most objects behind the wall can be detected.

Product Description
A good stud finder can be the difference between a successful DIY home project and disaster. When hammering or screwing things into walls, ceilings, and floors, you need to know what is on the other side. Otherwise, you might damage drywall or flooring with unsupported items you are trying to install. That is why a stud finder is important.
This VIVREAL stud sensor wall scanner includes a backlit LCD graphic screen for low-light conditions and auto-calibration that makes setup a whole lot easier. Electronic Wall Scanner has 4 modes to choose,
Stud scan: Locates the center and edges of wood and metal studs up to 3⁄4 in. (19 mm) deep.
Deep mode: Locates the center and edges of wood and metal studs up to 11⁄2 in. (38 mm) deep.
Metal scan: Detects metal (such as 1⁄2 inch rebar) up to 2.36 in. (60 mm) deep.
AC scan: Detects live unshielded AC wires up to 2 in. (51 mm) deep.
How to use VIVREAL stud finder? Step 1: Press the button at the left side of device to power it.
Step 2: Slide the button on the middle of device to select one scanning mode.
Step 3: Place the device flat on the scanning surface. Then press and move it in a stable way. (Note: if you cannot scan the object from left to right, please try to scan up and down.)
Step 4: When the objected is found, the device will beep continually and a peck type will appear on the LCD display. Mark it with a pencil.
VIVREAL stud sensor has a beep alarm sound to tell you the “center states”. The directional indicators and the "center" signal keep users identifying the exact center of the stud, like arrow and edge on Electronic Wall Scanner LCD screen.
If you are a DIY home projector or professional contractor, VIVREAL stud finder is what you are looking for.

This item was easy to use, however it is important to remember to go slow.
This review is in hopes you already know to put it against the wall or whatever structure you are using it on.
First, appearance. Nothing special, decent screen, lights up when you press the button, easy to read.
To use: When you press the button you have to wait about 1-2 seconds. You will see a full bar on the screen that will drop and then beep. You are now ready to go.
Stud finder: To test this before putting unnecessary holes in the wall I attached a 2x4 to a 1/2 inch plywood to test it. It found the 2x4 every time both horizontal and vertical. I then tried it on a drywall where I knew where the studs were. Found them every time. I then went to the wall I need to find the studs. It worked flawless, no extra holes. The stud setting also has a symbol that tells you if there are electrical current behind the wall. I tested it around electrical plugs and switches. Every time I got close to them the electrical indicator came on. Pretty good safety feature. Note: I have metal studs in my house and the stud setting found them with no issues.
Deep scan: This seemed to function with no issues as well. Tried it and it picked up items about 1-2 inches from the surface.
Metal: This also seemed to find metal in the wall. I didn't tear the wall apart to see what it actually found.
AC: This is good if you have unattached wires and want to determine if they are live. I tries it around a socket and switch. As I was moving it around each one nothing. As soon as I put it over them it alerted me there was live power.
Overall I thing this is a very good product that seems to function as advertised. I did drop it onto a concrete floor, by accident, it just bounced once and that was it. It still worked fine and there were no noticeable damage.
I would recommend this item as it worked flawlessly for me every time I used it. Just remember to go slow and you should have no issues.
I’m a millwright by trade and though this isn’t exactly in my every day use toolbox it’s there for when I need it and it works great it also powers itself off so you don’t have to fuss with constant turning on and off bs that irritates you and without it kills your battery’s I’ve had one set of battery’s in it since I got it and they’re still good and it’s been probably a year since I purchased it (granted this isn’t every day use) but still it doesn’t waste power so your saving money all ways around.
The only way I wouldn’t recommend this is if for some reason you do professional walling that you might need super deep deeper than this is rated for but I highly doubt your gonna run into that because though I don’t remember now what it is or was I researched before buying this so I knew that I wouldn’t have trouble doing roofs in old houses with super thick plaster wood etc and I’ve never run into an issue with depth with this....ever!
Works fine on drywall though. I had tested it on my walls before using it on the ceiling to get a feel for how it's used.
