How Can I Locate a Concealed Hotel Camera Using my Smartphone?

Hidden cameras are an increasing problem as affordable solutions disguise themselves as ubiquitous items. Mishandled cameras can be utilized for legal purposes, like watching your home for theft while you’re away. 

Hidden cameras in hotel rooms have made guests apprehensive about booking there. Using your smartphone camera, you may quickly discover a hidden camera in a hotel room. Hidden cameras often have infrared (IR) blasters to see in the dark. Since humans can’t see IR light, it’s hard to spot these cameras in the dark. Infrared cameras can recognize these items fast.

Follow These Procedures to Find a Hidden Hotel Camera:

• Turn off all the lights in the room. All lights should be turned off, including those from the TV, laptop, etc., and the curtains should be drawn. The space must be black all the way through.
• If you don’t trust a place you think might have a spy camera, turn on the camera on your phone and point it in that direction. This goes for clocks, vases, bookcases, mirrors, showerheads, and anything else where a camera could be hidden.
• Watch for any light that blips on the screen of your phone. Hidden cameras give off infrared light, which your camera lens can see as little light flares.
• If you see the light on your screen, carefully look around to see if there are any hidden cameras.

Can a Smartphone Flashlight Find a Hidden Hotel Camera?

Yes! You can follow the steps below:

• Turn off all lights and make the room dark.
• Shine your phone’s flashlight on anything spooky.
• Observe light reflections. The covert camera’s lens reflects light. Permanently alter your flashlight’s direction for thoroughness.
• If you observe a review, check for hidden cameras.
