There is a red light in the hotel room. Is it a camera?

It's not the camera that flashes red dots in the hotel. The red light emitted by the infrared camera is continuous and will not flicker. Most of the flashing red dots are sensors, such as smoke sensors that alarm and spray water after a fire.

Turn off the lights first, close the curtains (if there is a camera, the camera will automatically turn on the infrared lamp when the indoor light is dim), and walk around the room with a mobile phone. If you find a red dot, you have a camera. If you don't have a red dot, you have no camera.

How to check the hidden camera of the hotel:

1, check the bathroom and bedroom first.

Hidden cameras are usually installed in bedrooms or bathrooms. Although we are not 100% sure about all this, we should still check these places.

Start with something simple: consider where to put the camera. To discover something, you must think like everyone else. So you have to look at the room and choose those angles that are most suitable for viewing. Pay special attention to the upper corner of the bedroom, near the bathroom, the wall of the bed and other places.

2, check the electrical appliances

For example, observing smoke detectors is a very useful detail, and even mandatory installation in some countries. But some cameras used now look like these sensors. They are similar in appearance. After careful observation, you will find that this camera will be equipped with a camera lens (nothing in the sensor looks like a lens) and a memory card or slot.

Any electrical appliance that looks suspicious in the bedroom or bathroom deserves special attention. Pay attention to holes or lenses that look strange, things that should not appear in a reasonable position. For example, why should an alarm clock be connected to a wired network?

Anyway, once you see a suspicious item, you can check its brand and code, and then search online. Because most goods can be found through the internet.

Step 3 check small items

The main feature of a camera is of course the lens. They can be hidden in small objects such as doorknobs, lampshades, indoor plants and photo frames. There are even miniature cameras that look like screws. So you have to look at the small details. For example, even in a plush toy, a miniature camera can be placed, which may look like the eyes in the toy.

If you are not sure where the equipment is. Then you can stick all the suspicious parts with chewing gum and the problem will be solved.

Step 4 check drawers and cabinets

Also pay attention to some suspicious corners or holes (such as the interior of furniture). You must carefully check the bookshelves in the room. You know, if the camera is hidden inside, it is not easy to find. Be sure to check drawers, nightstands and cabinets. Sometimes the cameras are in unexpected places, but even a cursory inspection can help you find them.

The picture above is also from the candid camera found in Su Min.

How to find a camera with a smart phone

By using a smart phone, you can try to detect hidden cameras. Of course, this will not give the result of 100%, but the camera of the rented house is not installed by professionals.

Methods 1: Use a flashlight.

First, you can check the reflection of the camera lens. To do this, you must turn off the lights, close the blinds and make the room as dark as possible. Then use the flashlight in the room to observe the effect carefully. If you notice the reflection, it may indicate a hidden shot.

Method 2: The front camera can help you find hidden shots.

Many cameras specially designed for recording in the dark are equipped with infrared radiation devices. And your mobile phone may help you find it. What you need to do is:

Turn on the camera on the smartphone and switch to the front camera mode. Check whether the smartphone can see infrared radiation. To do this, you can first pick up the TV remote control, aim at the camera and press any button. There will be a flash on the front, and you can see it through the front camera.

Turn off the lights in the room, close the curtains and try to remove all the lights. Move slowly and aim the camera at you. If you see a flash, it's probably infrared. In this way, maybe you can detect it.
