The paper presents research materials related to the use of a smartphone video system (depth sensor) to detect the covert video cameras in various premises, including the places of temporary accommodation (hotel rooms, locker rooms, passenger compartments, etc.) where a person suspects an intrusion on his personal security or privacy breach. The depth sensor of a smartphone makes it possible to increase the efficiency of automated search for covert video cameras by optical flare for an untrained person and security specialists. The article formulates proposals for the search procedure for covert video cameras and identifies the main technical specifications of an efficient survey.
