Cameras are often hidden in small holes. Look closely at smoke detectors, clocks, or wall decorations for unusual openings or tiny lenses.
1. Check for Tiny Holes in Walls & Objects
Turn off the lights and shine your phone’s flashlight around the room. Hidden lenses reflect light, helping you spot any secret cameras watching you.
2. Use Your Phone’s Flashlight
Use your phone’s front camera or a special app to detect infrared lights. Hidden cameras may show up as glowing dots on your screen when using night vision mode.
3. Scan the Room with a Camera App
Some hidden cameras make faint buzzing or clicking noises. Stay silent for a moment and listen closely to electronic devices or objects that seem out of place.
4. Listen for Unusual Sounds
Press your fingernail against a mirror. If there’s a gap between your nail and its reflection, it’s a real mirror. If not, it could be a two-way mirror hiding a camera.
5. Check Mirrors with the Fingernail Test
Hidden cameras often connect to Wi-Fi. Use a network scanner app to detect unfamiliar devices in the room that could be transmitting video without your knowledge.
6. Scan for Unusual Wi-Fi Networks
If a device looks odd, unplug it. Digital clocks, air purifiers, or phone chargers could have hidden cameras inside. If it still works when unplugged, investigate further.
