Where to start when a room feels wrong

Start with the wall you'd undress in front of, then the one facing the bed. Work at chest height first, because that is where a camera gets the shot it wants, and leave the ceiling for last. Kill the lights for the infrared pass. Most of what you flag will be perfectly ordinary — screws, smoke sensors, standby LEDs — and ruling those out one at a time is what actually settles the question.

Signals

What a scan looks for

Three signals, all of them visible to a phone camera you already own.

  • Optical

    Lens retroreflection

    A camera lens sends light straight back where it came from. Sweep a bright light across a shelf and a hidden lens answers with a small, fixed glint that follows you.

  • Infrared

    Emitter bloom

    Night-vision cameras light the room with infrared your eyes can't see. Your phone's sensor can. It reads as a pale violet glow ringing the lens.

  • Placement

    Sightlines

    A camera has to see something to be worth hiding. The scan weights objects with a clear view of the bed, the shower door, and where you undress.

Sequence

How the scan runs

Four passes, in order. The last one is the scan's own work, not yours.

  1. 01

    Allow the camera

    The scan runs in the browser. Your phone asks once, and you can revoke it just as fast.

  2. 02

    Sweep the room slowly

    Hold the phone at chest height and pan one wall at a time. Slow beats thorough — a fast sweep skips glints entirely.

  3. 03

    Check what it flags

    Flagged points hold on screen with how long they have stayed put. Most of them will be screws, smoke sensors, or ordinary reflections.

  4. 04

    Let it rule things out

    As you move, the scan compares every flagged point against the room's own motion. A lens stays stuck to its object; a reflection slides off and gets marked as ruled out.

Ruling out is the work

A first sweep of a normal room flags a dozen things, and that is the scan working rather than failing. Screws, smoke sensors, standby lights and reflections off polished trim all produce bright points. The value is not in the flagging, it is in what survives: move a step sideways and most of them slide off their object and get dropped. What is left after that is a short list you can check by hand in a minute.

Field guide

Where cameras usually are

Hidden cameras are placed for sightlines, not for cleverness. Start with anything that faces a bed, a door, or a shower.

Hotel room

  • Smoke detectors mounted above the bed
  • Alarm clocks turned toward the pillow
  • TV bezels and set-top boxes
  • Air vents on the bathroom wall

Short-term rental

  • Shelf décor with a clean line to the bed
  • USB chargers and power strips
  • Routers placed unusually high
  • Picture frames and wall art

Changing room

  • Gaps in mirror seams and trim
  • Coat hooks and hanger rails
  • Ceiling tiles directly overhead
  • Ventilation grilles at eye level

Privacy

Nothing leaves your phone.

The scan runs entirely in your browser. Frames from your camera are read, measured, and discarded in the same moment. They are never uploaded, never stored, and never sent anywhere. There is no account, so there is nothing for anyone to request from us.
