Privacy is perceived differently across the world. For example, in Germany, very few offices have open doors, while in America, this is quite common. However, nobody would be okay with secretly being watched, especially during private activities.
We at Bright Side want to warn you: some retailers do place hidden cameras in their fitting rooms, but with these tips, you may be able to spot them.
1. Scan the room for suspicious objects.
The easiest way to find hidden cameras is to look around and check your surroundings carefully. An inch-by-inch search can help to spot rather “obvious” signs right away. Pay special attention to objects like wall decor, lamps, shelves, etc. Any suspicious wires, lenses, or lights could belong to a hidden camera.
2. Connect to Wi-Fi.
Surveillance cameras usually work on Wi-Fi, so you can find one by connecting to the network available in the room. Then you’ll need to use a special app to see what other devices are connected to the same network. Keep an eye out for devices that show a camera manufacturer name or list things like “IP camera.”
3. Use your phone’s flashlight.
Mirrors are one of the easiest places to hide a camera in a fitting room, so you should carefully check them. If there’s an opportunity to turn off the lights, try to do so and use the flashlight on your phone to peer through the mirror. Light shined against a mirror, allowing you to see beyond it, may reveal the presence of a hidden camera on the other side of it.
4. Stare into the mirror.
Fitting rooms are the perfect place to use 2-way mirrors because one of its sides will be brightly lit, and the other can be kept in the dark. So you need to put your eyes up against the glass, block out light with your hands, and you should be able to see through the mirror and detect if it’s actually a 2-way.
5. Touch the mirror.
When you touch a regular mirror, there’s always a small gap between your finger and its reflection. If you see it, you can be sure the mirror is real. However, if your fingers appear to be touching in the reflection, it’s probably a 2-way mirror and you’re being watched.

Old Lady Disinherits Grandson, Leaves Him Only a Bible And Note Saying, Open It When Its Hard
What a beautifully layered story about family, forgiveness, and unexpected blessings. Grace’s gesture shows a unique blend of tough love and profound thoughtfulness, teaching Mike a valuable lesson beyond just financial relief. The hidden money wasn’t merely about inheritance; it was about guiding him to understand faith and love in his own time, especially when life became challenging.
Grace’s choice to leave a Bible, rather than a traditional inheritance, could have easily been misunderstood as a slight or as her holding onto an old grudge. But by embedding this gift so cleverly within a cherished symbol of her beliefs, she gave Mike both a tangible and intangible inheritance. In his moment of need, she guided him back to her memory, her love, and perhaps to a sense of connection that he hadn’t fully appreciated when she was alive.
Mike’s decision to use the funds for his mother’s care reflects his growth and newfound perspective on family and sacrifice. His renewed attendance at church, not out of obligation but in honor of Grace, reveals how her subtle encouragement allowed him to reconnect with faith in a way that felt genuine.
Grace’s legacy is a reminder that sometimes the greatest gifts are hidden within acts that don’t appear valuable at first glance, only to reveal their worth when we need them most. This story holds such a touching lesson on the quiet power of faith, love, and second chances—and it’s a wonderful reminder of how kindness and wisdom can reach us long after someone is gone.
