There are many devices on the market that detect cameras, the price of which ranges from a few dozen to a few hundred zlotys. They are usually relatively small, so you can easily pack them even in your hand luggage. If you don’t have one on hand and you feel like you’re being watched, try other simple tricks. Do this immediately after entering the rented room.
How to detect a camera? Start by x-raying your WiFi
There are many ways to place a hidden camera in a room, so that it is invisible to the human eye. Miniature devices are hidden on curtain rods, behind picture frames, or even in inconspicuous watches. That is why it is so important to properly check each place before you settle in. Start by scanning your WiFi network and making sure there are no strange devices connected to it. Many camera models require an Internet connection to transmit recordings, so this way you can easily check whether they are in the rented room. You will need a special application for this.
WARNING! Not every camera needs such a connection, in addition, the owner can always protect himself against such circumstances, for example with another WiFi, so if you do not discover anything suspicious, use the second patent to be sure.
How can you check if there is a camera in a room? Use your phone
A mobile phone can also be used to check whether you are being watched by a hidden camera. How to use it?
- Close all the curtains and turn off the lights to make the rooms brighter completely dark.
- Turn on front camera on the phone, then slowly and carefully scan every centimeter of the rented space. Pay special attention to the bedroom and bathroom, as this is where voyeurs usually hide their cameras. If you come across one, characteristic flashes and flickering will appear on the phone screen.
To see and operate in the dark, the camera must emit infrared light. Although the human eye cannot see it, the lens of a phone camera can.
ADVICE! The patent will only work if the phone is not equipped with an infrared filter. New models often have rear cameras, so it is recommended to use the front one.
