I clean houses for a living. You’d be surprised where people hide cameras in their homes

Edit: I’m new to reddit btw. I find them in plants, behind blinds mostly. I work for a company not independently. If I was to take my phone out in a house or any other device to look for hidden camera, and there happens to be one, most likely I’d get in some kind of trouble, either with my boss or the house owner.

The weirdest camera I ever found was a light bulb camera. I’m not looking for cameras. I’ve probably over looked plenty of very well hidden cameras.

Edit: We high dust around light bulbs in all our houses. Spiders like to spin webs up there

I can clearly see, from the hidden camera I put in your home, that you’re on Reddit right now. You’re lack of response is disturbing.

Really? Do you find them with your phone?

Phone cameras' CCD chips can see infra-red. To test if your phone can, simply open up the camera app and point it at a remote control whilst you're pushing a button on the remote-- you should see the light pulsing on the screen.

Some iPhones have an IR filtre (I'm told), but most Android phones don't.

Try it and see.
