How to find out if there is a camera in the hotel room?

Summarize two ways to quickly find the hotel pinhole camera for your next hotel stay:

Method 1: flashlight inspection method. Use a flashlight or mobile phone flashlight to illuminate the exposed holes of the hotel, such as vents, radiators, televisions, etc. If there is reflection, there may be a pinhole camera. This method is used because most pinhole camera lenses have coating design, and coating can be quickly identified by lens reflection because of its special color.

Method 2: Mobile phone screening method. This method can be used to check pinhole cameras using functional infrared fill light. After entering the room, make the indoor environment as dark as possible, and make the room as dark as possible, such as closing the curtains and turning off the lights. Then turn on the camera of the mobile phone and start scanning every place in the room where there may be pinhole cameras. If there is a light spot on the screen of the mobile phone, it is very likely that there is a pinhole camera in this place.

Through the above two methods, you can roughly check whether the hotel has installed pinhole cameras. Of course, due to the inconsistency and complexity of each hotel environment, these are just two emergency methods. In order to completely eliminate this situation, the hotel industry needs to pay attention to user privacy, and the regulatory authorities need to intensify investigations and find that they are punished together!
