Especially after the shocking Erin Andrews case, more and more people (especially women) are concerned that they are being spied on.
Of course, there are many reasons people want to install a Spy Cam, most of which are not sinister at all. They can include keeping an eye on nannies, children, or pets, ensuring that employees are following protocol and more.
In some cases, these cameras have saved lives and stopped abuse.
But it helps to know, straight from the Spy Cam professionals, how to spot a hidden camera. Let’s take a look at 4 things you can look for if you suspect someone might be watching you.
Have you recently spotted a new item in your home? Something you just don’t seem to remember buying for yourself?
Has a previously-unfriendly neighbor recently dropped by with an unexpected gift?
The reality is that these objects could be hidden cameras. While usually, gifts contain nothing but good intentions, if your instincts tell you that something’s off, it’s worth a look — or listen.
Take the object to an electronics store, spy equipment professional, or simply remove it from your home.
You can also listen for tiny buzzes and clicks that might be motion-activated.
This requires a little more effort, but it’s very effective. Turn off all the lights in the room where you suspect you’re being monitored. Then, check for a Spy Cam by slowly shining a flashlight around the room.
Focus especially on the walls, and take your time. What you’re looking for is a tiny flash of light, indicating that your flashlight has caught the reflection of a camera lens.
With so much technology in our lives, it can be easy for someone to sneak an extra wire or cord in your home.
You likely might not even notice it’s there because you’re so used to extension cords and chargers.
Make an effort to always be aware of where all the wires in your house lead to. Check them routinely. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, you may be being watched.
Have you noticed a pin-sized hole in your walls, on an object, or anywhere else?
Remember that with today’s technology, most camera holes are minuscule. They don’t need much space to do the job.
If all else fails, you can also look into purchasing a professional camera detector. There are even apps you can download on your phone that will help you find any lenses (though the flashlight app works just as well, too.)
Maybe you read this article because you wanted to know the warning signs of a hidden camera.
Or perhaps you are considering purchasing some spy equipment for yourself, for professional use or to look after your loved ones at home.
Whatever your reason, be sure to spend some time on our website to learn more about the tools you can use to keep yourself and others safe.
