Some hotel cameras have more than one infrared camera. How to find it in all directions?

In recent years, with the continuous development of science and technology, many advanced scientific and technological equipment have been derived. This also made us hear some shocking news, such as the shots taken in hotels or rented homestays. So, knowing where these things are is very important to protect yourself. Users with overseas platforms in short rent introduced some interesting detection methods.

Today, we will introduce some more reliable technologies. The following is Jerry's integrated method for quickly checking hidden cameras in hotels or homestays.

1, check the bathroom and bedroom first.

Hidden cameras are usually installed in bedrooms or bathrooms. Although we are not 100% sure about all this, we should still check these places.

Start with something simple: consider where to put the camera. To discover something, you must think like everyone else. So you have to look at the room and choose those angles that are most suitable for viewing. Pay special attention to the upper corner of the bedroom, near the bathroom, the wall of the bed and other places.

The above photo was taken by a 22-year-old female traveler from America. In 20 16, she and her friends found a mobile phone under the sink in the bathroom of a hotel rented in Switzerland. )

2, check the electrical appliances

For example, observing smoke detectors is a very useful detail, and even mandatory installation in some countries. But some cameras used now look like these sensors. They are similar in appearance. After careful observation, you will find that this camera will be equipped with a camera lens (nothing in the sensor looks like a lens) and a memory card or slot.

My colleague seems very strange. There is a motion detector in the bedroom of the house rented through the internet. Look: It turns out that this is an Internet-connected IP camera (he moved out at 3 am and received a refund).

Any electrical appliance that looks suspicious in the bedroom or bathroom deserves special attention. Pay attention to holes or lenses that look strange, things that should not appear in a reasonable position. For example, why should an alarm clock be connected to a wired network?

Anyway, once you see a suspicious item, you can check its brand and code, and then search online. Because most goods can be found through the internet. )

(The couple came to Toronto for a holiday and rented a homestay. They found a hidden camera in the alarm clock on the bedside table. The camera was aimed directly at the bed.

Doug, one of the two travelers? Hamilton said that only 20 minutes later, he noticed the clock and realized that something was wrong with them. When this guy turned off the charger and took off the front panel of the alarm, he found that the camera was built in. )

Step 3 check small items

The main feature of a camera is of course the lens. They can be hidden in small objects such as doorknobs, lampshades, indoor plants and photo frames. There are even miniature cameras that look like screws. So you have to look at the small details. For example, even in a plush toy, a miniature camera can be placed, which may look like the eyes in the toy.

If you are not sure where the equipment is. Then you can stick all the suspicious parts with chewing gum and the problem will be solved.

Step 4 check drawers and cabinets

Also pay attention to some suspicious corners or holes (such as the interior of furniture). You must carefully check the bookshelves in the room. You know, if the camera is hidden inside, it is not easy to find. Be sure to check drawers, nightstands and cabinets. Sometimes the cameras are in unexpected places, but even a cursory inspection can help you find them.

How to find a camera with a smart phone

By using a smart phone, you can try to detect hidden cameras. Of course, this will not give the result of 100%, but the camera of the rented house is not installed by professionals.

Methods 1: Use a flashlight.

First, you can check the reflection of the camera lens. To do this, you must turn off the lights, close the blinds and make the room as dark as possible. Then use the flashlight in the room to observe the effect carefully. If you notice the reflection, it may indicate a hidden shot.

Method 2: The front camera can help you find hidden shots.

Many cameras specially designed for recording in the dark are equipped with infrared radiation devices. And your mobile phone may help you find it. What you need to do is:

Turn on the camera on the smartphone and switch to the front camera mode. Check whether the smartphone can see infrared radiation. To do this, you can first pick up the TV remote control, aim at the camera and press any button. There will be a flash on the front, and you can see it through the front camera. Turn off the lights in the room, close the curtains and try to remove all the lights. Move slowly and aim the camera at you. If you see a flash, it's probably infrared. In this way, maybe you can detect it.

What should you do if you find a camera in the rented apartment?

If the equipment you find in the rented house looks like a video camera, you can look up information on the Internet to learn more. Call the police. Important: Do not turn off the camera before the police arrive, so that law enforcement officers can ensure that the camera is connected to the network. If you rent an apartment through online platform service, please contact the platform. If the hidden camera causes damage to you, you have the right to claim compensation. If the video of the camera is not released anywhere, the possibility of damage is much lower. But even in this case, you have the right to claim compensation and compensation for mental damage.
