Why do hotels have cameras?

A couple went to Sanya, Hainan to play and stayed in a local five-star hotel. After taking a bath in the room, the couple found that there was a camera on the sink, which recorded the bathing process. Staying in a five-star hotel is for enjoyment. Unexpectedly, instead of enjoying the service, I exposed my privacy. The couple then went to the hotel management to talk. The hotel explained that the camera was placed to supervise the hotel staff. And put forward the compensation scheme of upgrading the room and giving away red wine moon cakes.

First, the camera is installed in the hotel. Staying in a five-star hotel but being photographed is unacceptable to anyone. The couple chose to call the police and asked the hotel to give a statement. Finally, make sure that the camera is in the hotel. The hotel said that the camera was placed to supervise the work of hotel cleaning staff. It was the hotel staff who neglected their work and forgot to take back the camera, which led to the incident. Although the hotel finally compensated the couple, the couple still felt that their privacy had been violated.

Second, the camera installed in the hotel violates the privacy of customers. The management of the hotel provides public services to the guests, and the hotel has the obligation to strengthen the management of relevant aspects and protect the privacy of the guests. Although the hotel's behavior does not constitute criminal responsibility, its behavior has violated the customer's right to privacy. Customers can choose to negotiate with the hotel or sue the hotel.

Third, check whether there is a camera when you check into the hotel. This incident also reminds everyone to take relevant safety precautions when staying in the hotel and improve their safety awareness. There are some hidden cameras in the hotel recording video, and the recorded video is stored in the memory card, but some cameras will broadcast live through the network. Therefore, customers should do a good job of testing before staying in the hotel to see if there is a camera to ensure their own safety and privacy. If there is a problem, they should call the police in time.
