Do You Know How to Spot a Hidden Camera?

Do You Know How to Spot a Hidden Camera?

Years ago, it was quite easy to spot a "hidden" security camera. Although the owner might try to hide it behind something, its large and bulky design made this difficult. However, due to the tiny size of today's hidden cameras, they can be hidden in almost anything, from a picture frame to a teddy bear. If you don't know that the camera is there, how can you spot them?

Today, many versions of hidden or "spy" cameras are wireless. With previous versions of these small surveillance cameras, a wire would still be needed to go from the recorder and power supply to the camera itself. No matter how small the camera was, the wire could still be detected. Not anymore! A wireless hidden camera is virtually impossible to detect unless you know exactly where to look. When you get up close, you might see a tiny hole in the object, through which the lens of the camera peers. However, with so many objects in your typical room, it's essentially impossible to catch such a camera, even if you do think that there is one somewhere in the room.
