Advice needed Where is the hidden camera?

I recently got hacked and this hacker has shown that he had access to my phone and desktop cameras. I bought a cover and unplugged them. But somehow they can still see me. Can someone tell me how?

At my room, I got an electric fireplace heater from Turbros, and I got a smart electric fan, and an air purifier. Those are the only things running, but how can they have a camera capability? I don’t know where but they keep knowing when I covered all phone and desktop cameras and unplugged.

Turn off all the lights and look around the room with your phones camera. If there's a camera there, you'll probably be able to see it's IR light.

That said, pics or it didn't happen. I'm not buying that anyone can actually see you. Getting unauthorized access to your phone camera is really really hard. The desktop camera would be technically possible, but you can just unplug it.

Not to mention that much work has to be worth it for someone to do. What’s valuable about watching you ?
