Hidden cameras are more common than we think.
They are found in cheap hotels' rooms, to expensive Casinos, and everywhere in between; including elevators and disco restrooms...
So how can you detect if there are cameras in your surroundings? All you need is a source of light like a flashlight and decent eyesight. It also helpful to have a toilet paper tube.
Step 1. Get a tube.
Find a tube that's good for looking through. A cardboard tube from a roll of toilet paper or paper towels is best.

Step 2. Get a flashlight.
All you need is a flashlight or something that you can use to focus a beam of light in a dark room.

Step 3. Look through it.
With one hand, hold up the toilet paper tube to your eye. With your other hand, hold up the flashlight at about eye level and point it away from you. With one eye, look through the tube and scan the room. If there are any small points of light bouncing back, inspect it further. It might be a camera.

Step 4. What if you found one?
If you found a camera, it can be easily disabled simply by putting something in front of it. If it is in the wall, hang a poster over it. If it is in something like a flower pot, put a box in front of it.

Hidden cameras are indeed, a reality, and it's a good idea to start paying more attention to our surroundings. :spy:
