How to prevent hidden cameras when staying in a hotel? These 5 tips will keep you away from the risk of secretly filming!

Hotels are supposed to be a safe haven during travels, but in recent years, frequent incidents of voyeurism have made people uneasy. Instead of passively worrying, it’s better to take the initiative to defend – master the following scientific methods and easily build a privacy protection wall!

The camera is often hidden in a concealed corner facing the bed, bathroom, or changing area:

Electrical appliances: holes for televisions, set-top boxes, routers, and smoke alarms.

Decoration category: hanging paintings, clocks, sockets, tissue boxes, and interior green plant decorations.

Mirror type: Double sided mirror detection method (fingertip attached mirror surface, seamless or double-sided mirror).

  1. Mobile phone instantly becomes a “detector”

Infrared detection: Turn off the room lights and turn on the phone camera to scan the suspicious area. If an unknown red dot appears on the screen, it may be an infrared camera.

WiFi detection: After connecting to the hotel network, use apps such as “Fing” and “Internet Explorer” to scan for unfamiliar devices within the local area network.

  1. Physical isolation provides peace of mind

After check-in, turn off the main power supply of the room and cut off the power supply of the wireless camera.

Cover suspicious areas such as televisions and sockets with towels and suitcases.

Avoid exposed areas such as glass windows and open bathrooms when changing clothes.

  1. Professional equipment upgrade and protection

You can carry a portable anti spy camera detector (such as an RF signal detector) with you, focusing on detecting wireless signals in the 2.4GHz/5GHz frequency band and accurately locating the camera.

  1. Stay calm and protect your rights in case of emergencies

If a camera is found:

Immediately report to the police and keep the scene, do not directly negotiate with the hotel.

Take photos and videos as evidence, and request the police to provide a filing receipt.
