Look for unusual objects with small holes, dark glass, or lens-like reflections
Check smoke detectors, alarm clocks, chargers, USB adapters, power strips, and wall outlets
Inspect mirrors for a camera lens reflection using a flashlight from different angles
Turn off the lights and use a phone flashlight to spot reflective camera lenses
Use your phone camera to look for infrared lights in dark rooms
Scan the room with a radio-frequency detector or hidden camera detector
Check Wi-Fi networks for unfamiliar devices connected to the same network
Use a phone app or router admin page to identify unknown connected devices
Examine vents, plants, picture frames, shelves, and decorative items for hidden lenses
Look for wires, unusual battery packs, or devices that seem out of place
Listen for faint buzzing, clicking, or motor sounds from suspicious objects
Move around the room and check for objects with a clear line of sight to private areas
Cover suspicious devices temporarily and see if anything changes on a connected app or network
If you find a suspected camera, do not tamper with it and document its location
