The detection continues
















You know how sometimes you get that feeling someone’s watching you? You check the room several times, appear to be alone, try to settle back down, but can’t shake that uncomfortable sensation. Okay, now get real, because most of the time that’s just you being paranoid and thinking the world cares a lot more than it really does. In all probability, the vast majority of you don’t fascinate anyone even slightly, and the rest of you are semi-compelling for maybe a few weeks, then your thrilling level subsides. Only you care as much as you think everyone else does. So try to stop thinking anyone would take the time and effort to install a hidden camera in your house. Reality TV is bad enough, thanks. No one wants to watch.

On the other hand, some of you know a few of the wrong kind of people, or work for overly suspicious and/or perverted employers, or are not trusted by your partners. Life's full of wrong place, wrong time scenarios, many of them riddled with hidden cameras. We’ve all had that unpleasant sensation while trying on clothes, or in one of those dirty gas station bathrooms by the highway, right? Your inner sensors go off and you can’t help but start looking for where the hidden camera might be. Or maybe you’re relaxing at home, about to seduce the nanny, when the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. And how many times have you almost had that coveted department store item in your pocket and then thought better of it because you couldn’t shake that sensation of being watched? Plenty, if you’re like most of your peers.


Sadly, hidden cameras are an unpleasant yet omnipresent aspect of modern life, and they’re sold in such an increasingly clever variety of shapes and sizes, it’s becoming a real nuisance trying to keep up. Almost as much of a nuisance as it is to stay within the letter of the law.

Now, finally, you don’t have to do either. Here’s another
detecting device – a wonderfully sleek, silvery and modern hidden camera detector. You’ll be absolutely certain that no one’s watching you unless it’s by pre-arranged agreement between consenting adults. It’s also fun to use. Make an appearance, reach for your trusty P3 hidden camera detector and sweep the room. If the blinking lights indicate a camera’s within range, you can get that look of intense concern on your face and leave. The hidden cameras will be inconsolably forlorn without you, but you knew that.
