Hidden cameras in a hotel room — Where to look for
Share
Hotels often install cameras in rooms to control theft. However, they rarely notify guests about them, which violates their privacy. We prepared a guide on how to spot hidden cameras in a hotel room, courtesy of Express.
How to check your room for hidden cameras
Private detective Aaron Bond said that the number of hidden cameras in hotels and rental housing has increased over the past few years. Therefore, it is very important to inspect the place where you are staying on vacation.
"Smoke detectors are a common hiding place because they provide an unobstructed view of the room. If a smoke detector looks different from others in the hotel, or something feels off about it, inspect it more closely," Bond recommends.
Where hotel employees put hidden cameras:
- Smoke detectors
- Alarm clocks
- TV screens
- Air vents
- Wall decorations
- Fixtures and fittings
- Small holes in walls or furniture.
If you notice a camera in your room, a private detective advises you to report such cases to the police and warn tourists in hotel reviews.
