    How to Detect Hidden Surveillance Cameras

    Feel as though someone is watching you? you could be right which is why you should know how to detect hidden surveillance cameras.

    Using concealed cameras to spy on individuals has never been easier. High-tech security cameras start at about $15 on well-known internet retailers like Amazon.

    Given the ease with which this kind of technology is accessible, it is sensible to take extra precautions to safeguard your privacy. Use these tips to learn how to discover hidden cameras, especially if you frequently use public areas like hotels, rental cars, and Airbnb.

    How to Detect Hidden Surveillance Cameras

    1. Search for odd objects.

    Every time you enter a new environment, it's good practice to take a thorough look around. Keep an eye out for anything that may have been mistakenly moved or misplaced. Examine anything that catches your attention that is unsure or not definitely important.

    A person who hastily bugs the room could sometimes leave behind evidence. Pay attention to things like sticky door locks, close-to-the-wall dirt, and inadequately sized electrical outlets. If you see something unexpected in a familiar place, make sure to check it out. A suspicious-looking object's brand or model number can always be searched on Google to see if a hidden camera is inside.

    Before entering strange environments like hotel rooms and Airbnb, carefully inspect clocks, smoke detectors, and air filters. Inspection is necessary for objects like paintings, clocks that hang low, and smoke alarms that are close to one another. Look over everything you have that uses electricity, and unplug everything you won't be utilizing.

    Keep in mind that a gadget with a hidden camera may not always be turned off by just unplugging it or turning it off. This is because spy cameras occasionally include internal batteries that will allow them to operate for several hours or even days. Cover any suspicious devices with a towel or piece of clothing just to be safe.

    Make sure that any mirrors in your room are not two-way mirrors by checking them. Verify whether the mirror is affixed to the wall directly or is mounted on top of it. You have excellent reason to be dubious if it is built inside the wall like a window. To find out how it sounds, you might also try banging on the mirror. When you bang on two-way mirrors as opposed to normal ones, they make a distinctive, hollower sound.

    2. Make use of a flashlight.

    The flashlight method works best in dimly lit areas. Shine a strong light throughout the area, paying close attention to any suspicious areas. Keep a close eye out for reflections as you move the light, especially any that are blue or purple.

    You won't always be able to recognize a camera lens by just shining a light on it because the naked eye isn't particularly sensitive to minuscule reflections. You might have a better chance of noticing the infrared light that spy cameras produce with a smartphone camera.

    3. Make use of your smartphone's camera

    Infrared light is produced by the majority of operational security cameras. Although infrared light cannot be seen, your phone can help. Not every phone camera will be useful, especially the rear ones because they include infrared filters.

    Check the infrared light detection capabilities of your smartphone camera first. Just point the front LED towards your phone's front camera and press a button to use any remote control. A flash of white or purple light inside the LED will indicate whether your phone can perceive infrared.

    Close the blinds and switch off the lights to make the space absolutely dark. Look for sources of infrared radiation using the phone's camera. If there are any white or purple flashing dots anywhere, it's presumably a camera lens. Remember that the front camera on the majority of phones is the only tool available for detecting infrared.

    4. Verify your wireless network.

    Only wireless devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network as you can be used to detect hidden cameras. This suggests that even while your chances of locating a spy camera using this method are extremely tiny, it's still worthwhile to attempt.

    Installing a network scanner application is necessary for this method. Google Network Scanner and download any app that appears to be authentic to you and has a good user rating from Google Play or the Program Store. Keep in mind that trustworthy apps don't request a ton of unnecessary permissions.

    Utilize the app to connect to the Wi-Fi network and scan it. This will allow you to see all other connected devices. Look for any hints that a camera is there. Most users choose to leave their hidden cameras' IPcamera default name alone.

    Make sure to connect to CyberGhost VPN when using public Wi-Fi in a hotel or any other location. Military-grade encryption is used to safeguard your traffic from network snoopers who might be attempting to track your internet usage or break into your device.

    5. Call to see if there is any interference.

    The radio waves emitted by security cameras may interfere with your phone call. Moving your phone close to an active camera while on a call may create crackling, buzzing, or other signal interference.

    In order to spot a spy camera in this way, call a friend and ask them to stay on the line while you move the phone about the room. Put the call on speaker and move your phone toward devices and areas that seem suspicious. If you notice more interference in one area than another, you may have found a hidden camera there.

    It should be noted that this method is not foolproof as not all cameras emit radio waves and your phone could not always detect interference even when a camera is present.
