      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 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.

      Look for things that point to the bed or shower that don’t need to. Fire alarms, lights, and chargers are common options. Check Amazon for common options. Also try shining you phone flashlight on them, lenses will reflect well and must be exposed obviously. They may be tucked into holes, but they still have to see something.
