To find public cameras in your area (perfectly legal), try using suitable apps like EarthCam (Android/iOS/iPadOS), Meteo WebCam Live (Android), and Webcam Live (iOS/iPadOS).
Is it possible to find hidden cameras on your phone? You can install and download the free application Hidden Camera Detector for Android. With the app on your device, radiation detection should make it easy to find the hidden camera.
You can use a camera to find hidden cameras in hotels. After darkening the room, turn on the camera in night mode. After taking a photo, check if there is a glow that matches the hidden lens.
To see if cameras are active, simply check if the LED is on. Webcams, especially those included in laptops and some desktop PCs, have a tiny green or white LED that, when turned on, indicates to the user that a program is capturing images from the camera.
You can easily detect the presence of bugs by obtaining a small cardboard tube and a flashlight. This DIY detector is easy to use. Lower the blinds and turn off all lights, including natural light. Then, using the cardboard tube as a monocular, observe the room.
With a simple application, we can turn our smartphone into a hidden camera detector. It may seem strange, but it’s true. Hidden Camera Detector can be downloaded for free from Google Play.
Drill a hole in the object you purchased the size of the camera lens. Then, you can place the device inside a fake rock or garden gnome and "look" out through the hole with the lens pointed outwards.

You can try hiding them using camouflage coverings (sometimes included in outdoor camera kits) or by positioning them in strategic points around the house (e.g., a hidden corner of the entrance or any other room in the house).
Simply carry a regular flashlight and pass it through the cracks of the object. If the device houses a camera, you will see a bluish reflection nearby. You can test the response of a webcam by pointing a flashlight at the camera of your smartphone, for example.
