In recent years, people's fear of being filmed in a hotel room has grown. A survey showed that about 60% of Americans believe they have cameras in the rooms where they stay. To avoid this risk, follow any of these tips:
1. take a good look at the room
If you were going to hide a camera, where would you hide it? That's the thought you should have when you go to stay.
Remember that cameras can be very small objects these days, so every crack or hole can be a potential location, as well as pictures on the wall or scattered decorations.
2. Check bed sheets
As we said, cameras can be quite small and unobtrusive, so even a bed sheet can be a place to hide them. When you enter the room, check the bed sheets and pillows, as well as other upholstery, sofas and armchairs.
3. Camera detection apps
A tip is also to use technology, as there are applications capable of finding cameras in locations. They work from your cell phone's own camera, which will detect the presence of a camera lens from the brightness or reflection emitted.
4. Check the power outlets
Certain cameras need to be plugged into a power source to run for several hours. So when you get to a new room, always check the power outlets, see if any chargers are plugged in, and try to identify where they come from.
If you take them out of the socket and nothing stops working, it is an indication that they were connected to a camera.
