The spread of Airbnb and other home rental services, as well as hotel rooms, has revolutionized travel, offering a more personalized and often cost-effective alternative.
However, this innovation hides some very serious risks. One of the most alarming issues that has arisen is the discovery of hidden cameras in rental properties, invading the privacy of unsuspecting vacationers.
Of course, the solution is not to stop using these apps, nor of course to stop traveling. However, there are some steps you can take when you get to the room to reduce the chances of someone watching you.
Check out some of them:
External inspection: Start with a thorough inspection of the rental home. Look for tiny holes where a camera could be, especially in common areas where we are more free like bedrooms and bathrooms.Use a flashlight: Use your phone’s lens. Turn off all the lights in the room and slowly scan the area with the flashlight. The camera lens will reflect light, making it easier to spot a camera if there is one.Checking the mirrors: For mirrors, perform the simple fingernail test. If you can “touch” your reflected finger, this may indicate a two-way mirror.Check for cameras: Use a network scanning application to detect any devices connected to the host’s Wifi. This method can help identify webcams that may be broadcasting or recording your activities.
