If you care about your privacy safety when you go outside if you just read my last article talking about the recent sneak-shotting news, if you worry about your love and friends who will be shot secretly, please just browse this article seriously. I believe you will live in a safer environment:)
Now, I am gonna talk about how to find a hidden camera, where you could find it and the difference between different countriesβ laws.
Hidden camera types:
- Local Storage Camera ( with SD card ) β Physical detecting ways(observing the marks of the camera) are more reasonable to find it.
- Wireless camera or Wi-Fi Camera β Digital detecting ways(scanning the wifi signal) are more useful.
Instruction on how to find a hidden camera:
- When you arrive at a hotel, public restroom, locker room, or any risky space, please donβt be careless;
- Turn off the lights in the room, close the curtains, and carefully check whether there are red lights flashing;
- Turn on the flashlight of the mobile phone and scan the corner of the room to see if there are reflective highlights;
- Check whether the mirror in the bathroom is a double-sided mirror;
- Use a detector that detects invisible cameras, or a mobile app to check if there are inexplicable signal sensors in the room;
- Check WiFi in your room to see whether there is an odd connector;
- Use thermal sensors to detect whether there is signal emission in the room;
- When doing the above, focus on the corners where the camera is easy to hide (listed below).
