To know if a camera is watching you, look for small, unusual objects or devices in unexpected places, reflective surfaces that could hide a camera lens, and infrared lights that many cameras use, especially in low-light conditions. Using a smartphone camera can help detect infrared lights not visible to the naked eye. Be vigilant and listen for any whirring or clicking sounds that could indicate a camera's movement or operation. For a more thorough check, consider using a RF detector to pick up on wireless camera signals.
