Any camera installed by an expert will not display wires or lights, but the lens must be visible.

Corners of rooms often provide the best picture of the whole room, though cameras placed in the corner are often less inconspicuous than most hidden cameras.

You can check to see if a mirror is a two-way to confirm whether or not a camera is embedded. If the mirror is a two-way, it’s suspicious at the very least.

Since stuffed animals and clocks are both easy to move, consider removing them from your vicinity if you suspect that they are hiding cameras.

It is unlikely that anyone who installed hidden cameras would be too sloppy to hide the camera’s indicator lights, so don’t rule out hidden cameras if you don’t see any.

Turn off all the lights in the room, and draw the blinds (or wait until nightfall). Hold up a paper towel roll to one eye, then close the other eye. Place a flashlight at eye level (in front of the closed eye) and turn on the flashlight. Scan the room, keeping an eye out for glints as you do so.

Point a remote control at the camera. Press any button on the remote control. Look for a flash on the remote control’s front light.

If there are any other lights in room (e. g. , night lights, power strip indicators, etc. ), unplug their sources if possible.
