Spot the video camera...they're getting smaller and smaller.

Here's one in a Phillips screw head. Would you notice it?



It's not a fuzzy, small image, either. It's a 1080p HD camera. The technology is making hiding high-definition cameras easier and easier. Now, there are legitimate uses for such cameras, but there are plenty of illegitimate ones too.

How many Phillips-head screws are there in the AC and heating unit in your hotel room or office? Could one of them be a camera? It's possible.

One favorite is clock radios. There's one in every hotel room, right, on the table next to the bed, or over on the dresser.



Or, maybe the coffee-maker in the room?

I wouldn't be surprised if those Russians he had in for a visit during the early days of his installment planted a few of them.

There are other technologies used by various models--including detection of infrared lenses and Radio Frequencies.
