There are few techniques by which we can identify the presence of a spy camera at the backside of the mirror.

Most of the time the ordinary glass has a small gap between the object and the reflection of the image on the glass.

If you find something like that there is no gap between the object and the reflection from the glass, then you have to check the mirror whether it is used to spy on your personal activities

An alternate way is to dim/reduce the lights on the area where the mirror is placed, Two way mirror can only work if the lights on the other side are brighter. You would be able to see the other side of the lights in your room is dim enough and a little darker.
