A private detective gave tips on finding hidden cameras in hotels and rented housing
Private detective Aaron Bond has revealed that the use of hidden cameras in public and private places is becoming increasingly common. The security expert, who has encountered numerous cases of surveillance, shared his advice with those who want to protect their privacy while travelling.
Bond explained that places such as hotel rooms, vacation homes, public restrooms, and workplaces often contain hidden cameras. He also emphasized that your own home is usually safe, although after a divorce or move, you should be vigilant and double-check things. Huffingtonpost writes about the detective's advice.
Where to look for cameras
Rented apartments and hotel rooms can sometimes be used for illegal surveillance. Bond recommends checking alarm clocks, televisions, smoke detectors, lamps, filters, books, mirrors, and other items, as well as paying attention to small holes in objects or walls.
How to look for cameras
If you have doubts about an item or location in the house, Bond advises using a cell phone to detect cameras. It can react to electromagnetic interference when you get close to them.
To detect a camera, you should turn off the lights in the room and use a camera app that detects infrared devices. You can also shine a flashlight in the dark to see if light is reflected through the lens of the hidden camera.
