// 01 - Where They Are Hidden
Abusers typically look for coverage of main living areas, bedrooms, or bathrooms. Common concealment objects include smoke detectors, USB chargers, alarm clocks, picture frames, air purifiers, and smart speakers. A pinhole lens at 2mm is invisible from across a room — professional optical detection equipment is the only reliable way to find these.

Appliance// 02 - What You Cannot Check Yourself
A visual check of your home can identify out-of-place objects or things that have moved. But a pinhole lens at 2mm is invisible across a room. A camera inside your own smoke alarm looks identical to the real thing. And nothing you can check manually will find an audio device, RF transmitter, or powered-off recording device.
