HiddenEye
Hidden cameras are no longer just in spy movies but can appear in everyday life. As technology shrinks, the places cameras can be hidden have multiplied. Here are the most commonly used hiding spots in 2025:
1. Electrical Outlets
Cameras hidden inside outlet covers are nearly impossible to notice. Especially popular in apartments and hotel rooms.
2. Smoke Detectors
Being at ceiling height provides wide angle coverage. Most guests never think to look up at the ceiling.
3. Alarm Clocks
Placing cameras inside alarm clocks facing the bed is a very common method.
4. Desk Lamps
A lamp positioned on a table can be angled to view the entire room.
5. USB Charging Adapters
That innocent adapter you use to charge your phone might actually be recording. Their small size makes them dangerous.
6. Pens
Pen shaped cameras used in meeting rooms or work desks also create risks in professional settings.
7. Clothing Hooks
A small hole in wall mounted hooks is enough for a hidden camera. Especially common in changing rooms.
8. TVs and Speakers
Cameras hidden in TV units or Bluetooth speakers appear "natural" in the room and go unnoticed.
9. Air Vents
They're preferred because they provide wide angles both on ceilings and walls. A small lens can easily look out from here.
10. Decorative Objects
Cameras hidden among figurines, small sculptures, or books are frequently found in Airbnbs and guesthouses.
What Should You Do?
- Carefully check outlets, detectors, clocks, and adapters especially.
