Cameras
If a micro cameras is accompanied by IR for night/low-light viewing, they are relatively easy to find. There are two types of IR LEDs commonly used with mini cameras - one is 850nm which is visible and emits a dim red light - the other is 940nm LED which is higher in the IR wavelength range and can not be seen. However, if you take out your digital camera and shut off the lights, a thorough search should detect both the 850nm and 940nm - immediately take photos of the camera in situ and upload them to a "private" youtube evidence account for posterity - once documented, take a hammer to the camera and destroy it (keep pieces if you want, but they will probably disappear).
The devices which are sold for locating hidden cameras are nothing more than mini strobes. You put your eye next to the strobes (in the hole of the device) and as the light flashes all around the hole, it hits the glass on the hidden camera lens and reflects light back at you so you can locate the camera. These devices work on cameras which do not have IR LEDs. Bcz the spy cameras are usually very small, the reflected lens' light will be very small, and the closer you are to the camera, the easier it will be to locate.
Temporary privacy
- pick an empty corner or hallway and surround yourself with temporary hanging screens; this can be as easy as buying a spring loaded curtain tension rod which is long enough to span the distance between walls, and threading an old sheet onto the rod; this will give you some privacy; check out DIY hanging room dividers on YouTube for more ideas
- for floor screens, use 2' x 7' panels of rigid styrofoam, masonite, OSB, etc and hinge together accordion style w/lengths of cord to span the desired distance around you; the panels can be covered w/aluminum foil, fabric or painted; Lowes will cut masonite and OSB for you; you can even make low cost easy panels by making frames from lengths of pvc pipe (& elbows) and covering them with fabric or yard sale sheets (pined on or sewn to fit)
- just make sure that the area you choose to cozy down in only contains the items you carry into it, like your chair or you may be defeating your purpose by carrying the spy camera in with you
Rise to the occasion and if you can't stop them, you certainly are capable of putting up some road blocks to thwart their efforts.
