After close inspection with a flashlight, you’ll be able to spot camera lenses much more easily.When Hvaldimir was first seen in 2019, his discovery made worldwide headlines as people worried he was trained to spy by Russia’s military. Once everything is closed off, shine your flashlight on items and areas that look suspect. Start by turning off all of the lights and closing the blinds if there are any the goal is to make the room as dark as possible. The flashlight test is a simple way to spot camera lenses that might be hidden behind translucent materials that wouldn’t be visible in regular light. While cameras themselves can be hard to find, the lenses are, well … a dead giveaway. Thankfully, wireless devices all emit radio frequencies that are relatively easy to pinpoint, and basic RF detectors are available for around $50. WiFi-sniffing apps can only find devices that are using the same network that your phone is connected to-meaning sly property owners are able to put all of their snooping devices on a separate WiFi network. RF detectors (that stands for “radio frequency”) are much more effective at sniffing out cameras that WiFi-sniffing apps like Fing might’ve missed. Sure, it can’t use echolocation to find them, but it’s a good way to know if there are cameras inside the property you’re going to call home for a bit. There’s a paid “premium” version of the app, but I feel that the free version does the trick just fine. Once connected to the local WiFi network, you’ll be able to find webcams listed through the Fing app.
