Can the flashing red in the hotel be a camera?

The flashing red in the hotel is not a camera.

Staying in a hotel often finds a flashing red object on the ceiling of the room. Many people who don't know about fire protection will think that this is a camera at first, but it is not. It is called smoke detector, which is a kind of fire fighting equipment.

Precautions:

Cameras are usually installed in very hidden places, such as power outlets, under the TV or in the corner. We just need to keep the room dark, turn on the flashlight of the mobile phone and check along the corner of the room. If you find an abnormal reflection point, pay attention to whether it is a camera. You can also turn on the camera function of the mobile phone, and a red dot appears on the screen, which may be a camera.

Normal smoke detectors don't have cameras, but some criminals may modify them and press the cameras. The normal detector indicator will flash from time to time, and it will not always be on. The modified detector is bound to lack or increase parts, which needs close attention.
