Hi people.
I suspect my office might be bugged. How should I detect hidden cams and mics?
did you find something?

Check smoke detectors, clocks, plants near desks, anything that’s always been there and nobody questions.
To add to this as someone who has seen behind the curtain of how much of this tech is set up, lights are a common hiding place for cameras. Exit signs, parking lot lights, motion sensor lights, and the like. These are unfortunately also very difficult to detect by design, since they are expected to consume electricity, are almost always closed circuit with data wires parallel to the power wires, are practically impossible to observe in low light, and generate some heat even without any included surveillance equipment.
Thank you for your thorough answer. The bad actors I worry about aren’t the employers.
Who are they (if you feel continue sharing)? It sounds like there’s a story here
One of the owners thinks one of the business partners that comes in their office might have bugged the office. They get lots of unattended time there, and they’re a shady and bad person overall so it’s probable.

They were talking about the person who might have bugged the office.
I responded to the wrong comment.
Smoke detector cams are unlikely to be used by any professional company installing them, though that only stops people already following the law. I only mention it since my old camera and security company actually used to keep some lying around, with the story being that they became extremely illegal due to smoke detectors needing to function as smoke detectors or the fire marshal will give you a really bad year

Hmmm… Someone didn’t want the truth out there…
Should we ask the mods why they removed it? It was a very good answer!
There are camera and radio detecting devices available.
More likely your phone is listening.
Not for the actors I’m currently worried about. My phone is definitely bugged by govt. And being monitored but this is a more direct threat right now and the actors aren’t the type to bug a phone.
Fing does this if you’re a premium user.
