How to Find a Hidden Camera: Nowadays, everyone is concerned about their privacy, because CCTV cameras have been installed everywhere. Some cases have also come to light where hidden cameras have been found in hotels. A hotel room is the personal space of the people staying in it; having a camera there not only violates their privacy, but it is also a violation of the law. Whenever you book a room in a hotel, make sure to check whether there is a hidden camera installed there or not. Let's know what tips you should follow to identify a hidden camera.

Check these things closely.
When you reach a hotel room or rented house, first of all, look around carefully. Keep an eye on smoke detectors, the clock, electrical sockets, wall decorations, or mirrors. If something is placed in a strange place or looks different from the rest of the things, then check it more closely. Sometimes, hidden cameras are also hidden in things that we are used to seeing, such as an alarm clock or charger.

Hidden cameras can be connected to Wi-Fi.

In most places, hidden cameras are connected to Wi-Fi. Open the Wi-Fi settings of your phone and see which devices are connected to that network. If you see the name of any unknown device, like a strange code or device, then it can violate your privacy. You can use such apps that show the list of devices connected to the network.

Turn on the torch and see the room.

When you enter the room, turn off the light for some time, then turn on the torch and see if light is visible in the room or not. Light is often visible from the lens of hidden cameras. Also, look carefully at the mirrors, air vents, and corners of the room with the torch.

Check the mirror carefully.

Many times it happens that the hidden camera is hidden behind the mirrors. To check it, keep your finger on the mirror. If you see a gap between your finger and its reflection, then understand that the mirror is normal. If you don't see any gap, then it is possible that the mirror is two-sided and there could be a camera behind it.

Check your room with your phone camera.

Some hidden cameras use infrared (IR) light to see at night. To detect it, check the dark room with your phone's camera. If you see any glow, check it carefully. There could be a camera there.

Use a radio frequency detector

You can buy a radio frequency detector, using which you can detect the signals coming from hidden cameras or microphones. Move it slowly around the room. If it beeps or the light flashes, it could be a suspicious device.
