Turn off the lights and use your phone camera and look for a dim light. They usually have an infrared bulb to see at night.
Not all phone cameras pick up the infrared. and not all spy cameras can see in the dark. So while doing this as a preventative measure is good, please don't let it lull you into a false sense of security.
Most phone cameras have IR filters, indeed!
Almost no front-cams have IR filters, though. So if anyone reading this tries this, use your self-facing camera.
