Couples are looking for a camera in the electric box of the rental house. How to protect personal privacy?

Because many young people choose to rent a house for reasons such as working outside the home, the security and privacy of the house have gradually attracted attention. A taxi safety accident broke out in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Xiao Zhang rented an apartment in Xiasha and lived with his girlfriend. Because Xiao Zhang found that the water heater was broken, he reported it to the housekeeper for repair. When he came back at night, he found that the power was cut off. He guessed that the master might have turned off the switch during the repair, but when he opened the electric box cover, he found a black object in the gap, which occasionally flashed. When he looked carefully, it was actually a camera. After the incident was exposed, it quickly caused heated discussion. This is a serious violation of personal privacy, so how to protect personal privacy?

1. If you rent a house, you should always be on your guard.

Generally speaking, even if the pinhole camera is hidden, there will be a reminder light. So, after turning off all the lights at night, check whether there are lights flashing in those hidden corners and whether there are cameras in the room. Generally speaking, sockets, air conditioners and routers are excellent hiding places.

2. Choose a regular house when renting a house, and don't rent the second landlord's house.

When we rent a house, we try to choose a reliable intermediary, not a small intermediary to save money. Reliable intermediary management is better than small intermediary, on the one hand, it can ensure the safety of rented houses, on the other hand, it can prevent intermediaries from running away. In addition, don't choose to rent a house in a remote place. Before signing the contract, ask the landlord to provide the original ID card, real estate license, etc. Beware of being deceived; Try not to rent group houses, and those who meet the requirements can apply for low-rent housing or youth apartments; Don't live in mixed houses.

3. Do a good job in protecting personal information. Once you find that your privacy has been violated, you should actively defend your rights.

When signing a contract, be sure to mark a copy of your ID card. Do not provide the original and photocopy of the unidentified ID card, and do not provide personal information such as your work unit and family members. Once you find the case, you should call the police for help at the first time and learn to protect yourself by legal means.
