How we can help

Detection of all camera types

Modern spy cameras are hidden in power outlets, smoke detectors, clocks, ventilation grilles and USB chargers. We detect both analogue and digital cameras, including Wi-Fi-connected models and pinhole lenses that don't transmit radio frequencies. We use lens detection, spectrum analysis (Wi-Fi/2.4GHz) and physical inspection.

Discreet and rapid deployment

We can be on-site within 24 hours, including evenings and weekends. We arrive in plain clothes without conspicuous vehicles. For hotel operators, we schedule inspections outside operating hours so guests remain unaware.

Legally valid report

You receive a professional inspection report with findings, locations of any discovered devices and photographic evidence. This report is suitable for filing a criminal complaint, civil proceedings or insurance claims.

Frequently asked questions

How can I spot a hidden camera in a hotel room?
Hidden cameras can be concealed in smoke detectors, wall clocks, power outlets, USB chargers, speakers and air vents. Signs include small holes, unusual LED indicators or objects that seem out of place. Professional detection — using lens detectors and spectrum analysis — is the only reliable method.
Can a hidden camera be detected if it's not active?
Yes. We use Non-Linear Junction Detection (NLJD) and optical lens detection that can identify inactive electronic components. Even a non-transmitting pinhole camera can be located through physical inspection and lens reflection detection.
Is placing a hidden camera in a hotel room illegal in the Netherlands?
Yes. Covert filming of persons in a private space such as a hotel room is a criminal offence under Article 139f of the Dutch Criminal Code, carrying a maximum prison sentence of one year. Hotels also have a duty of care towards guests.
What should I do if I've found a hidden camera?
Do not touch the camera (to preserve fingerprints and digital evidence). Document the location with your phone. Contact the police to file a criminal complaint. Also contact us for professional evidence preservation and an inspection report. Remove the camera only after documentation.
Does SAJ Recherche offer preventive inspections for hotels?
Yes. We carry out periodic TSCM inspections for hotels, resorts and short-stay properties as part of their privacy and security protocols. We also train hotel staff to recognise suspicious objects. Contact us for a tailored programme.
