Spy camera detection using smartphone time-of-flight sensors

I think the bright light is intended as a countermeasure to the hidden camera, not as a countermeasure to finding the hidden camera.

Basically, to keep position X unobservable through the hidden camera, ensure that there is an overwhelming source of photons between position X and the hidden camera.

Since we don't know where the hidden camera is, the best we cam do is to assume that the immediate vicinity of the bright light will accomplish this.

Oh, I must have misunderstand, since the root comment was talking about detection methods. But yes, jamming is a good option, and there have been papers to make areas "unrecordable". I don't have my citation manager on hand now, but I think it was an early ACM Sensys / Mobisys research work.
