Can the hotel claim compensation if it finds the camera?

If the hotel finds the camera, it can claim compensation, as follows:

1. It's an invasion of privacy to install a camera in a hotel room to take pictures of guests. If the person subjected to execution still uses it to ask the victim for money, it constitutes the crime of extortion;

2. In case of being photographed, citizens should first actively collect evidence, and then they can call the police to punish criminals or claim civil compensation from the hotel. Even if the citizens have not suffered any losses, they can call the police immediately if they find a camera installed in the hotel room.

Legal basis: Article 1033 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
