A camera was installed in the private room of the hotel. Will this behavior of the hotel violate the law? If you violate the law, how should you protect your legitimate rights and interests?

Illegal. You can take pictures of the camera as evidence to sue the hotel.

Of course, breaking the law violates your privacy, so you can sue him. Because the private room is a relatively private space relative to other parts of the hotel, guests can choose guests who are not disturbed. Cameras should not be installed. If the hotel installs cameras for its own supervision, it should also fulfill its obligation to inform.

From your description, it is obvious that the hotel deliberately disguised the camera and didn't want the guests to know, which obviously violated personal privacy. According to the provisions of the state public security law: illegally following others, monitoring their homes, installing eavesdropping equipment, secretly photographing their private lives, and monitoring their indoor conditions. This is a typical invasion of privacy. In China, privacy protection mainly belongs to the right of reputation.
