Police recently arrested two men on suspicion of trying to extort money by threatening to release the footage by recording the couple’s private moments in their hotel room. According to police, the suspect’s modus operandi was to book a hotel room and set up a camera to record the couple. Sources say the cameras were placed in such a way that the cleaning staff didn’t notice them. And the chilling truth is that this is not an isolated incident.
Incidents like this happen again and again, often without even a record. In 2019, Maharashtra State Police seized an LED light kit from a budget hotel room in Mahabaleshwar.
According to the lawsuit, the cameras secretly filmed guests staying in the rooms.
Hotel rooms are not large rooms, nor are they packed with furniture and objects. This means that there is very limited space in which a hidden camera can be placed. When entering a room for the first time, take 15 minutes to look around the room where hidden cameras may be located.
However, there is another problem with finding hidden cameras. As the name suggests, these are not bulky camcorders that are easy to find. It is often a small lens hidden in an inconspicuous object.
Even if you hold this object, you may not be able to see the lens. But there are ways to find it. You don’t need a professional camera detector. The best thing to do is turn off all lights and then use your smartphone’s flashlight. Lenses are reflective, and if you see something reflecting light, that’s the cause. Also, these cameras are usually attached to servers as they do not have storage space for recordings. You can also check the Wi-Fi network for such suspicious devices. Here are 10 general things and places to always check when staying in a hotel room.
