How to Spot Hidden Cameras: Planning a trip with your loved ones? Depending on how long you want to stay, you may rent a home or spend the night at a hotel. But it’s always a good idea to make sure the location you stay in is secure. Using your smartphone is one method to verify that. Yes, now you can utilize your smartphone’s intelligent functions. Smartphones come with an excellent camera and several sensors that may help you spot hidden cameras in hotels and trial rooms. Let’s look at some ways to keep yourself secure when travelling or staying in hotel rooms using your smartphone.
Camera-detection apps
You can download specialized apps designed to detect camera lenses by analyzing reflections and light sources in the room. These apps help you spot any spy or hidden cameras in your hotel room.
Flashlight test
Shine your smartphone’s flashlight around the room. Camera lenses typically reflect light, so look for any unusual glints or reflections of your smartphone’s flashlight.
Wi-Fi Network Scan
You can also use your phone to scan for Wi-Fi networks. Some hidden cameras may have Wi-Fi capabilities and their networks might appear on your scan. Once you see any camera in the scan results, ask the hotel owner about the placement of these cameras.
Infrared detection
Most smartphone cameras can detect infrared light. Use your phone’s camera in a dark room to spot any potential infrared emitters, a common feature in some cameras.
Physical inspection
It is always advised to conduct a thorough visual examination of the room. Check common hiding spots like smoke detectors, alarm clocks and decorative items. Also, use your phone’s camera to zoom in for a closer look.
