Question

My friend just found a mini spy camera hooked to a v battery in their bathroom. How can I track the signal?
I guess it was very specifically placed. We have no idea by whom. But the battery is still very new and before we call the police, I want to try and track where the receiver is located. I know it cant be more than a few hundred feet. Every time I google I get ads to buy spy cameras. Can someone help?

Answer

It is not possible to track where the receiver is. The radio signal from the camera travels all directions. Anyone with a receiver on the correct frequency could tune in to the show. Maybe your friend was the floor show for a neighborhood yard party. .brbrMy guess is this was placed by a friend or family member who frequents the house often.brbrIt is next to impossible to find the guilty person. They already know your friend found the camera, because the view changed, so they will hide the receiver.
