1. Use the Flashlight
Shine your phone’s flashlight to spot camera lenses. They will typically reflect light.
2. Check for IR Signals
Use your mobile camera to look for infrared lights. Most smartphone cameras can see them as bright spots.
3. Use Network Scanning Apps
Download apps that scan for devices on the WiFi network. Cameras might show up on the list.
4. Call for a Lens Detector App
Install lens detector apps that use your camera to spot reflections from camera lenses.
5. Inspect Electronic Devices
Examine electronic devices closely to see if they've been tampered with or contain extra lens
6. Listen for Buzzing or Clicking Noises
Turn off the room's lights and listen carefully for any unusual sounds that might indicate a camera's operation.
7. Look for Oddly Positioned Objects
Check for unusual placements of everyday items like clocks, smoke detectors, or picture frames.
8. Use the Panorama View
Walk around the room with your phone's panorama camera mode. It might catch lenses that otherwise blend in.
9. Examine Vents and Other Out-of-Sight Areas
Look inside vents, plants, or other areas where cameras might be hidden out of plain sight.
10. Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off, trust your instincts and further investigate or change your accommodation.
