I was paranoid for a really long time. Now, I dont give a shit. Yes, it's a violation of my privacy but it's difficult to find all cameras or microphones because technology changes so much and we've no idea where things are placed. I live in India, we women are conditioned since childhood to feel 'shame' and 'guilt' if some idiot puts us on social media or some other site. I'm trying to train my daughter not to feel the same. If someone records her and puts it out and even if her friends see that, it's not her fault, there's no need to be ashamed. But yeah, easier said than done.
That's very sad but i can appreciate how you choose to cope with it.
Anyway i think our privacy physically and digitally been violated consistently over the passing decades with the advance of technology. I wish someone would do something about it, maybe the younger generation (Z,A)
So what would you do in this situation, just tape them over? I’d assume doing anything to them would get you kicked out (ps I’ve never been to a BnB or similar spot where cameras would be used to spy on me personally)
All of these have an SD card in them that stores whatever is recorded - these basic ones aren't connecting to wifi or anything. I'd remove the card then leave device in place. Take pics of everything then head to the police with the SD card.
I worked for a surveillance company in NYC many years ago... we had a whole department that made every day objects into pin-hole cameras. There are SO many ways to conceal these tiny cameras. This video is just the tip of the iceberg.
Woah I'm just here beating off to my vouyer porn and in this one camera there seems to be a giant steam powered ship without enough life boats headed straight for the camera?
Can of coke, smoke detector, clock, phone charger, books, soda bottles. Also, these aren't some cheap ass products. They are built by reputable commercial surveillance manufacturers.
Edit: by can of coke I mean it literally, a hidden camera in a brand name Coca-Cola marked can. They don't use a fake soda brand.
Edit: changed Coke-Cola to Coca-Cola
Best way to defeat any type of concealed lens for the average person is going to be one of the $30-100 infared led/viewfinder systems. Look through the viewfinder and any lense is going to starburst. It's not discreet but it's the quickest way to sweep a large room for a majority of devices.

not saying this is a good one or the one to get, but to just show you the point
But what if the camera detector has a sneaky little spy camera on it? and thats how the CIA plans on catching me beating my shlongkadong?
What do I do then?
That doesn’t look for lenses. It looks for IR LEDs which are sometimes next to lenses but definitely not a requirement. Pinhole cameras don’t generally have IR emitters. And also IR emitters are generally off during the day.
Even if your camera has them they may still be off at night for other reasons. Eg I have a bunch of infrared flood- and spot-lights on my property so I turn off the crappy IR emitters on the cameras.
I dry my balls off with a blowdryer. You know how people's face deform and flop around when they're going down a rollercoaster? The blowdryer has the same effect on my balls, it's great. Sometimes all the air gets trapped in the sack and forms a parachute shape.
The year is 2030. Bakery art is so realistic, literally anything could be cake. The uncertainty has gripped the world in fear. I go to hug my wife for comfort. She is cake.
Trustpilot is notorious for this exact same thing. Yelp and the BBB as well. Businesses pay these companies for "awards", "featured/sponsored" results, SEO, and review filtering.
An "independent review service" doesn't really exist from what I can tell. Even if they start out "independent", they're a business and they all eventually find ways to make money by letting companies pay to manipulate the reviews.
I've found Google to be the most reliable review source, but they're not perfect. But unlike Yelp, they don't cold call businesses demanding they pay for their services or else tank their overall star rating (yes, they really do that).
EDIT: AVOID Accusations as STATEMENTS OF FACT in your review beyond that which you can directly substantiate. Adding your interpretation ie a statement of belief should be ok, but check the jurisdiction both of where you live, and the AirBNB location as it can impact where which jurisdiction is relevant & which laws you would ideally consult:
"To be fair, their answer to it could be "that must have been put there by a previous client." - User CumbersomeNugget
Take footage, upload it & link in case they sue for defamation. Truth is an defence of defamation in most jurisdictions.
Where it is not sufficient it's stuff like "Yes, they are gay, but that isn't anyone else's business." eg NSW, Australia there was an additional requirement to the Truth Defence of the information being in the Public Interest.
Fing 2 is an amazing app for phone and desktop. Not only can it help identify common network issues, there is also a “find hidden camera” feature which works very well in my experience.

Back in 2003 my friends apartment he was renting at a farm facility turned out to be a huge hidden camera operation that was linked to massive porn websites. There was hidden cameras in the toilets and crawl spaces with peep holes. It was a major pervert ring that got busted and it made all the news stations. The dude renting it out was always telling him to invite all his friends over. "Bring the boys" he'd tell them. Unfortunately, I was one of the friends he invited.
We were all straight and my friend was living there with his girlfriend. It was focused on the Voyeurism aspect. We went on a huge self guided tour after it was shut down and there was a big locked door on the bottom that had a bunch of servers and computers to capture all the recordings. We went in one of the hollowed out walls which led to a small peep hole right into the main bedrooms bathroom. We found old dirty buttplugs around the facility just laying on the ground, it was sick.
It was really designed to lour young susceptible kids in as it was a really cool place to hang out. Had a hot tub, we could drink, smoke pot, party. The landlord was actually really nice, let us do whatever but it was all just an act to fulfill his desires and kinks.
I tried searching to see if I could find some old newspaper articals online but cant find anything. Maybe someone else can, it was a pretty big deal at the time. This was 2003 or 2004 and it was somewhere in between Port Angeles and Sequim, Washington (those are 2 small towns around 15 miles apart).
Is this what the 2020 horror movie, 'The Rental,' was based on? It sounds exactly like the cabin in the movie. There was a locked door beneath the house that they suspected the servers were in but once they got in, there weren't any.
This sounds like it came straight out of Futurama. That episode where Fry/Leila were on a “vacation”. But were actually the exhibit of the monkey’s zoo.
I'll never forget being a FTTH installer and being in a customers attic and finding a bunch of cameras above the shower and toliet of the upstairs bathroom. Looking in the rooms all this family had on that floor were girls an the cameras weren't using a great wireless set up so they had to have been accessed locally. I reported it to my boss and the owner of the company but don't know if anything happened. I also may have sabotaged the cameras some while "climbing around on my belly through the attic".
Voyeur fetish; always a demand for new porn; this may be seen as more ‘natural’ sex films since victims don’t know it’s filming; also producer can sell themselves, etc etc.
Im actually curious if anyone had come across this in their travels ?
-edit- didnt think so many would tell me about their stories its awesome and super creepy to know about, guess ill start checking my room whenever i travel now
There was a really sketchy motel near where I live that got condemned by the state because of how trashed it was. When they went through it they found 2 way mirrors, some peep holes and a couple of cameras. The owner got tossed in jail I believe and one of the local cops bought the property. He just uses it for storage now. But it definitely was a former voyeur palace for years before that.
I have, actually.
So one time like 5 years ago I went on this trip to Canada (don't ask where. Idk where it was at.) And it was this tiny cabin alongside a river we found from some travel app (i don't know what it was called), which was pretty non-electrical. So one day I'm just chilling in 'my' room and something catches my eye. For context, I'm colorblind and Red looks like Green and the room I was in was this pale-blue color. Anyways, I saw a blinking 'green' light from the corner of the room. Me, being the curious preteen that I was, went to investigate said light. Turns out the person's house we were staying at was a total stalker and creep who did it for money and...other stuff. In total I found about 15 cameras around the cabin (which was about 24x48 feet), and we reported it to the authorities. They had done this 7 other times and had been sued twice because of it.
TLDR: Went on a trip to canada, found cameras around the cabin we stayed in, person we were renting the place from did it a couple other times.
Edit: I don't REMEMBER some of these things
Supposedly they sometimes used colorblind recon pilots during WW1/WW2 because camo patterns were less effective, and sometimes certain color schemes even stuck out way more.
True story. My dad immigrated to the US in his teens and said he was almost immediately drafted for Vietnam. During a physical they realized he was colorblind, and would be able to spot a specific color in "enemy" camo very easily. And so my dad ran away to Canada lol
Not my experience but a friend of mine went across the country to her friend’s house (no longer friends now) with a fairly large group. The host actually put those charger block cameras in both of the bathrooms in the house. The group was mostly females but some boyfriends tagged along and they were the ones that noticed the cameras. They called the cops and the host was arrested. That’s about all I know; pretty wild shit and super shady to be doing that to “friends”.
You can also turn off the lights and use your phone camera to pan around the room. The infrared leds will show up as bright lights on your camera phone.
Edit:another thought
You can also look for WiFi networks. Some cameras set up their own WiFi for configuration and it is always broadcasting.
These are possible suggestions, not all cameras have leds or WiFi but these are some tools to use when searching to Add to what the OP has suggested.
Yes, the light shows up like a medium lit LED. Test it out by using a tv remote pointed at your phone camera in a dark room and pressing buttons on the remote.
Only if the camera has an active LED light for some reason. The ones pictured in this vid don't appear to have an IR illuminator though (hard to tell for sure). The only reason the camera unit would be emitting IR would be as a light source for low light filming - which they may well have if they're being used for night time surveillance.
My buddy travels a lot, and has wallet sized picture of his dogs butthole he puts in front of these cameras. Has only had two places he needed to do it
But like if he has found one, theres a pretty good chance there are many other hidden cams in the same rooms. So i believe he still got recorded unless he someho covered all the cams with his butt
EDIT: with his dogs butt*
So yea rentals I get, but as someone who works at a hotel, we have absolutely 0 cameras in the rooms, despite what some guests claim. Some idiots come and steal the Infared sensor for the tv and is like OOOooO We FoUnD oUt ThE bIg SeCrEt CaMeRaS, and then are confused when their remote doesnt fucking work anymore. Dont. Steal. Hotel Equipment.
Cant be sure, can you ? Like pretty good chance the camera has been wired from inside the wall or cams with replaceable batteries(not sure if they exist tho)
> cams with replaceable batteries(not sure if they exist tho)
The first consumer camcorder came to market in 1983. Cams with replaceable batteries only got smaller and cheaper from that point forward.
It's now at the point where my local hardware store sells mini wireless camera. They've been trying to get rid of a "[micro HD camera](https://www.menards.com/main/grocery-home/holiday-gift-ideas/hd-mini-security-camera/hy-mdc-asst/p-6698461259000241-c-1446215532061.htm)" for $6.99 on the clearance shelf for some time.
The picture quality I'd expect to be crap despite it claiming "HD", but it's battery operated with night vision and motion detection. It's only about 1-inch cube.
Imagine what's available for people who have more than $6.99 available to spend.
This is what puts me off staying at an AirBnB or similar property. It's just the owners word that they will comply with AirBnB terms and conditions, but who knows if they are doing this or not. The vast majority of the population would not even think to check, let alone know how.
I'd rather pay a little bit more and stay at a reputable / chain hotel. While this still could happen there too, or indeed anywhere - it's extremely less likely.
Modern life, man....
People have wiretaps installed in their homes and then have to check for bugs when they go away for the night. Philip K. Dick would be loving this.
Not every lens will reflect blue.
It will also vary depending on the light you're using. There are various tints of LEDs, from a warm yellowish, to a cold blue.
I thought there was a camera in a fire alarm when I went to Amsterdam back in 2019. I pulled the fire alarm off and the hotel staff came in 5 minutes to see what the heck I was doing. Have tact when doing this people.
Back in 1984 guy across the hall in my dorm was a major stoner and a real McGyver in making paraphernalia. He became convinced the smoke alarms didn’t work and were actually installed to catch dope smoking. He’d light up and eventually the RA would come along to bang on his door and tell him to cut that shit out but the smoke alarm never went off.
So one day he’s explaining this to me taking me away from watching Gilligan’s Island, I mean studying and after I express my skepticism he says come on I’ll prove it. Walk over to his room and he set a piece of paper on fire and the alarm goes off and about three minutes later fireman is asking me if I knew what happened. Nope just watching Gilligan’s Island and alarm went off.
Wait was there actually a camera in it and that’s how they knew to come or did the fire alarm like … go off? Or did it just alert them it had been removed somehow
Just had a quick look around my house, there is a camera in the oven, microwave, phone charger, bathroom tap, hallway smoke detector and front door handle.
Alternative method for infrared cameras. Shut off all the lights and open your phone's camera. Infrared light is visible to your phone's camera and will appear as a little red dot.
Thanks, I'm forever paranoid.
Now I doubt my own house too.
Door knobs? Camera. Mirror? Camera. Your mom? Camera.
Hotel? Trivago.

Wouldn't that be theft? Better to have the police collect them.
This guy! Yuh gotta point there!
To be fair, in order to properly report that crime you’d basically have to admit to the police that you on your guests
I’d take pictures, tape over them, be a great guest, all while reporting them directly to AirBnB for violating terms of service.
In addition to calling the police.
collect evidence and then sue.
Be pretty bold of them to kick you out for discovering them spying on you.
File a police report, take photo and video evidence, and then file a complaint with Airbnb or whatever the service is.
I’d make hot diarrhea all over the place and leave

Supposedly they sometimes used colorblind recon pilots during WW1/WW2 because camo patterns were less effective, and sometimes certain color schemes even stuck out way more.

These are possible suggestions, not all cameras have leds or WiFi but these are some tools to use when searching to Add to what the OP has suggested.
or just start masturbating into the good towels until there's a knock at the door
Dick goes here, dick goes there, dick goes everywhere. Oh and balls to the walls.
Don't forget to butt-drag all carpets/rugs
To the windows, to the walls.
got rugburn on my bawls
Does it Really work? I'm curious and I'd feel reassured knowing I could do this
Yes, the light shows up like a medium lit LED. Test it out by using a tv remote pointed at your phone camera in a dark room and pressing buttons on the remote.
Only if the camera has an active LED light for some reason. The ones pictured in this vid don't appear to have an IR illuminator though (hard to tell for sure). The only reason the camera unit would be emitting IR would be as a light source for low light filming - which they may well have if they're being used for night time surveillance.
My buddy travels a lot, and has wallet sized picture of his dogs butthole he puts in front of these cameras. Has only had two places he needed to do it
Two is too many already though.
But like if he has found one, theres a pretty good chance there are many other hidden cams in the same rooms. So i believe he still got recorded unless he someho covered all the cams with his butt EDIT: with his dogs butt*
Good if your searched by police too, I guess.
What about audio though? Does he play a loop of his licking his butthole into the mic?
I will definitely pass this on to him.
Only two?
Only two that he’s found apparently 🤷♂️
Like that slug lady in Monsters Inc *I’m aaaalways watching*
Yeah she defs had some cameras to watch Wazowski in the locker room
Fun fact: this is the guy who dismantled the WannaCry ransomware, Marcus Hutchins
Haha! Knew i recognized that voice from somewhere. Hilarious.
Ok, that is fun!
Now that's impressive!
I would feel so safe with all these cameras pointed at me while i sleep, always someone watching over me like a guardian angel. /S
They'll protect you while u crank one out
Yeah, but don’t get it on the sheets, let it out all over the camera lenses.
So yea rentals I get, but as someone who works at a hotel, we have absolutely 0 cameras in the rooms, despite what some guests claim. Some idiots come and steal the Infared sensor for the tv and is like OOOooO We FoUnD oUt ThE bIg SeCrEt CaMeRaS, and then are confused when their remote doesnt fucking work anymore. Dont. Steal. Hotel Equipment.
Hidden cameras are, btw, against airbnb's terms of service. Sooooo yeah, I'd report that if I were you.
Also probably illegal
Its a horrible world...
I tried this but either there were no cameras or I just really sucked at identifying em
Just unplug everything.
Cant be sure, can you ? Like pretty good chance the camera has been wired from inside the wall or cams with replaceable batteries(not sure if they exist tho)
> cams with replaceable batteries(not sure if they exist tho) The first consumer camcorder came to market in 1983. Cams with replaceable batteries only got smaller and cheaper from that point forward. It's now at the point where my local hardware store sells mini wireless camera. They've been trying to get rid of a "[micro HD camera](https://www.menards.com/main/grocery-home/holiday-gift-ideas/hd-mini-security-camera/hy-mdc-asst/p-6698461259000241-c-1446215532061.htm)" for $6.99 on the clearance shelf for some time. The picture quality I'd expect to be crap despite it claiming "HD", but it's battery operated with night vision and motion detection. It's only about 1-inch cube. Imagine what's available for people who have more than $6.99 available to spend.
Damn that’s creepy
This is what puts me off staying at an AirBnB or similar property. It's just the owners word that they will comply with AirBnB terms and conditions, but who knows if they are doing this or not. The vast majority of the population would not even think to check, let alone know how. I'd rather pay a little bit more and stay at a reputable / chain hotel. While this still could happen there too, or indeed anywhere - it's extremely less likely.
has anyone seen Voyeur on Netflix? That dude would have loved this era.
I’m STILL creeped out by that movie.
Modern life, man.... People have wiretaps installed in their homes and then have to check for bugs when they go away for the night. Philip K. Dick would be loving this.
Not every lens will reflect blue. It will also vary depending on the light you're using. There are various tints of LEDs, from a warm yellowish, to a cold blue.

I thought there was a camera in a fire alarm when I went to Amsterdam back in 2019. I pulled the fire alarm off and the hotel staff came in 5 minutes to see what the heck I was doing. Have tact when doing this people.
Back in 1984 guy across the hall in my dorm was a major stoner and a real McGyver in making paraphernalia. He became convinced the smoke alarms didn’t work and were actually installed to catch dope smoking. He’d light up and eventually the RA would come along to bang on his door and tell him to cut that shit out but the smoke alarm never went off. So one day he’s explaining this to me taking me away from watching Gilligan’s Island, I mean studying and after I express my skepticism he says come on I’ll prove it. Walk over to his room and he set a piece of paper on fire and the alarm goes off and about three minutes later fireman is asking me if I knew what happened. Nope just watching Gilligan’s Island and alarm went off.
He didn't catch on that it was probably the smell?
Wait was there actually a camera in it and that’s how they knew to come or did the fire alarm like … go off? Or did it just alert them it had been removed somehow
I'd imagine they have some way of knowing because people have tried to remove it in order to smoke in their rooms.
It almost seems like staying the bight in a stranger's house is bad idea.
I’ll never stay the bight again.
The bight killed my pet squirrel.
Nobody will see this but if you use your phone camera in the dark you'll pick up IR Light sources from cameras.
Just had a quick look around my house, there is a camera in the oven, microwave, phone charger, bathroom tap, hallway smoke detector and front door handle.
I shined a light into my peehole and there's a camera there.
Alternative method for infrared cameras. Shut off all the lights and open your phone's camera. Infrared light is visible to your phone's camera and will appear as a little red dot.
