The government recently admitted that they can use smart home devices to access information on individuals. What many people might not know is that when they purchase these smart home devices, the information they put into the system is stored on various servers, which can then be hacked by either the government or hackers. Smart home devices aren't the only way to get spied on, however.
Criminals can also install a
surveillance device inside a home without you knowing. This can be done in your
personal home, a rental, or even in a vacation rental. How will you know if
there's a surveillance device in your home?
Continue reading the guide below to
spot those devices and remove them as soon as possible.
A
Recent Burglary
Are you the victim of a recent home
burglary? A home burglary can leave you feeling violated and anxious, but it
can also leave your home open to surveillance devices. Even if you come home to
nothing missing but see that some things are out of place, you should search
your entire home for listening devices.
Signal
Interferences
There are many reasons why you might
be experiencing signal interference throughout your home. One of those reasons
could be that your home's bugged. If you notice signal interferences that you
never noticed before or after another recent event that causes suspicion (a
burglary), then there's a good chance that there's a surveillance device in
your home.
Inspect your home for small wires or
use a bug detector to possibly find anything that shouldn't be there.
Small
Disturbances
Most hidden cameras are placed in
common objects found around the home. They can be installed in-wall outlets,
light fixtures, alarm clocks, indoor ceiling sprinklers, and other various
items. These items won't seem out of place to you, but there will be small
disturbances around them.
For example, if someone replaced
your wall outlet with a bugged wall outlet, then you might notice drywall dust
on the floor or surrounding area. Check all of these places where hidden
cameras are commonly placed, looking for the camera itself and any disturbance
in the area.
Your
Own Surveillance Device
One of the best ways to catch
someone installing listening devices in your home is to have your own
surveillance device installed first. You can purchase your own hidden or
discrete home surveillance linked here.
Keeping tabs on your own home can give you the peace of mind you're looking
for.
Make sure to have both interior and
exterior surveillance for the best results.
