HOW TO FIND HIDDEN CCTV CAMERAS?
• Whether it’s through a camera hidden in a dressing room, public bathroom or rental apartment, being watched by a stranger strikes fear in any woman. And it’s not just paranoia. Stories like the one reported just this month by KTLA news station about A 5-year old boy finding a spycam hidden under the sink pointed at the toilet in a Starbucks restroom remind us that the potential danger is real.
• Cameras can be hidden in smoke detectors, wall outlets, pens clocks and more, and they're not easy to spot with the naked eye. That doesn’t mean you can’t detect them, though. Any hidden camera’s sensor— whether it’s on or off—will reflect back light. So the key is to illuminate the sensor.
The best detectors are standalone devices, but even your smartphone's camera can help you spot the telltale glint of the hidden camera's sensor.
#Here is How !
#1 Standalone detectors
For small spaces like dressing rooms andbathrooms, try the Brickhouse Mini Hidden Camera Detector ($99.95). If you’ll be looking for cameras at a distance of more 10 feet away, you’ll need to step up to the Wired & Wireless Camera Detector ($130). It constantly scans for RF transmitters within 10 meters which indicate a wireless camera or listening device is in range.
#2 Smart Phone Options
Yes You Can Find Hidden Cameras Using Your smartphone too..
So If you are looking for a cheaper option, there are apps available that turn your smartphone into a makeshift hidden camera detector. For Android phones, there's Glint Finder (free on Google Play ) and for iPhones you can pick up Hidden Camera Detector ($4.99 on iTunes ). They work on the same principle as the professional detectors using your phone's flash to look for the glint off of the lenses of hidden
cameras and show you the location on your screen. However, you won't get the advantage of the RF transmitter notification that the $130 detector utilizes.
So while no solution is perfect, you can take steps to minimize your risks.
