How to detect hidden cameras in hotels and motels simply

Some hotels and motels may have hidden cameras installed by bad guys. Modern cameras can easily record when there is not enough light. However, regardless of the type, cameras need a clear view, without obstacles. Here is a simple way to detect hidden cameras in hotels and motels that anyone can do.

Turn off the light combined with the flash and camera phone

Most hidden cameras are equipped with red or green LED lights, if placed in hidden locations, they will flash more due to poor lighting. When all the lights in the room are turned off, observe those signs, you can close your eyes for about 5 seconds and then open them, your eyes will adapt to the darkness and observe more easily.

Also, use your phone's flash/flashlight when you can't see it with your naked eye. Shine a beam of light around the room, if there is another recording device, it will reflect the light.

Another way is to open your phone camera and also pan around the room in recording mode. If there is another camera object, it will reflect or show a bright spot on the screen.

*Detecting hidden cameras is so simple that anyone can do it.*

Notice the mirrors on the walls in the bedroom and bathroom.

Check if the mirror is a two-way mirror by placing your finger perpendicular to the mirror surface. If your finger and the reflection of your fingertip are spaced apart, it is a normal mirror. If they touch, it is a two-way mirror, and there is a high chance that there is a camera on the other side.

Buzzing sound

Lao Dong newspaper quoted Brightsite as saying that you can make a phone call and then walk past locations suspected of having cameras. The phone can emit a buzzing sound when it encounters electromagnetic objects such as cameras.

It is similar to the phenomenon when we put the phone near a working speaker. The speaker will be distorted due to the influence of electromagnetic waves.

Observe the objects in the room

The most common places to hide cameras in the home are electronic devices, followed by smoke detectors, electrical outlets, digital TVs, Internet boxes, wall outlets, air purifiers, and alarm clocks.

Other popular items to consider include wall clocks, pens, lava lamps, tissue boxes, books and shelves, hair dryer holders, and stuffed animals. Plants (of all kinds) and vases are also popular.

Find hidden cameras with specialized equipment

If you have the money, you can buy specialized devices to detect hidden cameras. Basically, these devices are capable of detecting radio signals (RF), magnetic fields, infrared rays, etc. used by cameras and microphones.

In addition, you should also make any calls from your smartphone, if you hear many strange noises. This means that the phone is being interfered with or affected by a device that emits radio waves.
