Every camera has a lens that reflects light. You can turn on the smart phone camera (flash light off) and check around the room to see if there is any red dot. If yes, there may be a pinhole camera. (Make sure, there are no mirrors, glass or other reflective surfaces in the room)

They generate what are described as “sparkling red dot” when they detect what appears to be a camera lens, so you can investigate further.
For the wireless spy camera, it does transmit radio frequency, you can use RF Detector to check if there is any unusual transmission signal in a room
Regarding to video transmission, there are analog and digital signal.
To detect analog wireless spy camera, likes 1.2 GHz, 2.4GHz or 5.8 GHz hidden camera, you can use Camera Hunter or Camera Interceptor which can locate and display video on monitor.
