8. Recommendations for detection of hidden cameras
The main rule when searching for hidden video cameras
is to be in the place that most interests the installers of video
cameras (or between the supposed location of the camera
and the place under record).
Most likely such places are:
places of work (tables behind which people are sitting),
places of rest (armchairs, sofas, beds).
In case of monitoring the attendance of the room, a video
camera can be aimed at the doorway.
Detection of at least one video camera does not mean the
room is fully checked. It is necessary to take into account
that there can be several video cameras. Therefore, it is
required that the entire room is checked.
A large number of glare objects in the room (mirrors,
glass, etc.) can significantly complicate detection of hidden
video cameras. These places need to be checked more
carefully. If a glare is detected, it is necessary to change the
angle, under which the surface is inspected. It is often
enough to move a step forward or aside and the glare will
disappear. Meanwhile, a glare of the camera lens will not
disappear.
Spy cameras can be installed in any part of the interior
suitable for this purpose. These can be suspended ceilings,
souvenirs, video and audio equipment, paintings, decorative
ornaments, etc.
When searching, avoid direct sunlight in the room.
Therefore, when searching, it is recommended to shut
curtains in the room under test.
