Your smart TV might be watching you. No, really. Have you checked for a hidden camera? Here is how to find if you have a camera, why they have it, and how to turn it off. Hi, I'm Caitlin.

These built in cameras can pose a huge privacy and security risk to your home and your WI fi system. You can check for a camera on your TV by looking for a small lens at the top of your screen or by using a smart home app to locate it.

Make sure you cover the camera, disable cameras and microphones on the TV if you have it, and then limit content recognition features and also turn on a VPN for added protection.
