Check smoke detectors, clocks, plants near desks, anything that’s always been there and nobody questions.
To add to this as someone who has seen behind the curtain of how much of this tech is set up, lights are a common hiding place for cameras. Exit signs, parking lot lights, motion sensor lights, and the like. These are unfortunately also very difficult to detect by design, since they are expected to consume electricity, are almost always closed circuit with data wires parallel to the power wires, are practically impossible to observe in low light, and generate some heat even without any included surveillance equipment.
One of the owners thinks one of the business partners that comes in their office might have bugged the office. They get lots of unattended time there, and they’re a shady and bad person overall so it’s probable.
Smoke detector cams are unlikely to be used by any professional company installing them, though that only stops people already following the law. I only mention it since my old camera and security company actually used to keep some lying around, with the story being that they became extremely illegal due to smoke detectors needing to function as smoke detectors or the fire marshal will give you a really bad year

Thank you for your thorough answer. The bad actors I worry about aren’t the employers.
Who are they (if you feel continue sharing)? It sounds like there’s a story here

Hmmm… Someone didn’t want the truth out there…
Should we ask the mods why they removed it? It was a very good answer!
Looks like that user’s comments were all mod deleted. Maybe it’s a bot account? No idea
