How to Find Hidden Camera: Maintaining privacy has become a big challenge in today’s digital age. Many times incidents of hidden cameras come to light in hotel rooms, AirBnB or other rented places. This is not only a violation of your privacy, but also a serious crime. If you suspect that there may be a hidden camera in your hotel room, you can immediately check it with the methods given below.
inspect the room thoroughly
First of all inspect the room carefully. Hidden cameras are often installed in places that are overlooked, such as smoke detectors, alarm clocks, lamps, TVs or power outlets. Cameras are often hidden behind small holes or in the device. Switch off the lights and use your mobile’s flashlight. The lens of the camera is shiny, which can be visible in the light of a flashlight. Focus on walls, ceiling and electronic devices.
scan with mobile camera
Turn on your phone’s camera and scan around the room. Sometimes hidden cameras use infrared light, which is not visible to the naked eye, but can be seen in mobile cameras.
Check WiFi Network
Hidden cameras often operate via Wi-Fi networks. Check the room’s Wi-Fi network and be alert for strange device names. For this you can use apps like “Fing”. There are devices available in the market that help in detecting hidden cameras and microphones. You can buy these and take them with you on your travels.
Notify Hotel Management
If you discover any suspicious equipment, notify hotel management immediately. With their help you can get it removed. If you think that there may be a camera hidden in your hotel room, then adopt these methods and remain alert.
