Hotel hidden pinhole camera? You can't stop it. How can you prevent it?

It is said that hotels are the second home for business travelers. When they are on a business trip, only the warmth and comfort of the hotel give us the feeling of home. But Shangdi thinks the hotel's mess is too naive in front of hidden cameras.

Think about it, if your every move is under the supervision of some lawless elements and your privacy is violated, it is really terrible.

However, it is no accident that the hotel found such a terrible thing as hiding the camera. Many people said that they had such an unforgettable experience.

Xiaohong, who lives in Guangxi, went out to play during the Spring Festival on 17 and shared a hotel room with her sister. She had a tiring journey and hoped to have a good night's rest in the hotel and continue her journey. The next morning, I found a particularly dazzling red light flashing under the TV cabinet. Check and confirm that it is a hidden camera. Xiaohong came to the front desk of the hotel to ask and was told that the hidden camera was installed by Qiu, a former guest room guest, and had nothing to do with the hotel.

Xiaohong thought that the hidden camera had a great influence on herself, so she took the hotel and Qiu to court, and finally ended up with a mediation agreement in which the hotel compensated Xiaohong for 4,000 yuan and Qiu compensated Xiaohong for 6,000 yuan.

Coincidentally, a hotel in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province was also found to have installed a hidden camera on the edge of the TV. It is not easy to find the existence of the camera without careful inspection. The victim, Ms. Hu, said that she had changed clothes in front of the camera. The existence of the camera violated her privacy. She asked the hotel to compensate mental damage compensation for 20,000 yuan, but the person in charge of the hotel refused.

It's a cliche that hotels have found hidden cameras, but looking at all the news, Shangdi found that these "recruited" hotels basically had some illegal operations, such as the front desk didn't check the identity of the check-in, or the hotel's security work was not done properly, and only 20 yuan was used to buy security guards or cleaning staff to open the door for themselves, which was terrible.

But when it comes to the reasons for the prevalence of this unhealthy atmosphere in hotels, Shangdi believes that there are the following reasons:

Some "black-hearted" hotels install hidden cameras to discredit their guests in order to check their privacy.

It is difficult to prevent domestic thieves. Even if the hotel security measures are in place, it is still difficult to prevent some "people with a heart" from stealing chickens and dogs. Hotel insiders often install cameras privately for the benefit, sneak shots of guests' privacy, and blackmail guests to "exchange" videos with money by putting them online. In this case, the victim thinks this is the "best" way to deal with it, but he doesn't know that he has contributed to this evil deed invisibly.

If it is difficult for hotel insiders to install cameras, it is impossible for outsiders to prevent them! Usually, these foreigners are unscrupulous criminals. They will stay in the hotel as guests and install cameras during their stay.

Foreigners install cameras in hotels either for profit or for sex. It is unforgivable to stay in the privacy of the guests, make money "deals" with the people being photographed, or take pictures of the guests to satisfy their desires, no matter what.

It is not enough to know the reason. In order to avoid invasion of privacy, you should know the common ways and locations of these hidden cameras, so that you can sleep in the hotel with peace of mind.

Television is the most common and best installation location for hidden cameras. The TV is often placed in front of the bed, which is the most active area after we check into the hotel. Whether changing clothes or sleeping, we are directly exposed to the camera.

The TV is facing the bed, and the ceiling monitors everything in the room. Cameras on the ceiling are usually installed in air conditioners, light bulbs or fire smoke detectors. Because there is a foreign body to cover it up, it is quite difficult to find it.

This kind of goods is quite convenient to carry, but it is extremely important for business travelers to sneak shots of some highly confidential things, such as meeting documents and signing contracts. It's all an action information exposure, which not only harms your future career development, but also makes it difficult to explain the company's losses.

The intention of installing cameras on such items is obvious. Toilets, toiletries, clothes hooks and one-sided mirrors are all used for bathing or changing clothes. Are people naked or are their clothes cool? If you are photographed at this time, it will be really uncomfortable.

In addition, plug-in sockets, cartoon pendants and floor wallboard are common installation locations of hidden cameras. Outside, crutches, uppers, glasses and watches are hidden places for cameras.

There are thousands of hotels, and the existence of cameras is also strange and unpredictable. Can we let them get away with it and invade us? Say no to illegal activities, and let's see what happens!

After staying in the hotel, don't worry about washing and resting, you can use your mobile phone to carry out the first step of camera detection. Turn off all the lights in the room and close the curtains to make the room completely dark for the first time. Use the camera function of the mobile phone to scan the whole room. If there is a red dot on the screen, there may be a hidden camera installed here.

This method is suitable for detecting cameras with infrared fill light. For ordinary cameras, you can try to find the reflector with a flashlight. In addition, this method may not be suitable for mobile phones that partially filter infrared rays.

If the camera wants to work normally, power supply is the most critical step. As long as the main power supply of the room is turned off before going to bed, the danger of being photographed will be solved at the source. However, it also means that there may be no air conditioning in summer and no heating in winter.

Carefully check whether there are suspicious objects hiding the camera, or observe whether there are unnecessary objects around, such as drinks or lighters in the bathroom. Generally, this extra object may be the hidden place of the camera. Sometimes even the bottles and jars provided by the hotel itself should be carefully checked.

It is a shameful and hateful thing to take candid photos, but if you are caught carelessly, don't handle it with luck. Remember, the law is the best weapon to protect rights.

Once the camera is found in the room where you are staying, whether it has caused your own losses or is threatened by criminals, you should not only inform the hotel, but also call the police. Before the relevant person in charge arrives, you must take photos to collect evidence and protect your legitimate rights and interests.

If you find that your behavior during your stay in the hotel has been photographed and posted online, you can ask the network service provider to take necessary measures such as deletion, shielding and disconnection. If the network service provider fails to take necessary measures in time after receiving the notice, it may request that the network user be jointly and severally liable for the expanded damage.

All in all, safeguarding rights is not extreme, and the law will give the fairest and most reasonable judgment.

Although life in the information age has more convenience, there are also various loopholes. Whether it is personal safety or personal privacy, you should pay attention to maintenance when you go out. With the above countermeasures, whether it is business trip or tourism, it is an extra guarantee.

So sometimes I really want to try the life in the deep mountains and forests.
