The Real Danger
Andrews explains that hotels aren’t installing secret cameras. He says: “Hotels do not put any sort of surveillance in guest rooms. If there’s a hidden camera in your hotel room, the hotel didn’t put it there.” Instead, it’s individual bad actors like other guests, contractors, or hotel employees.
Airbnb Scare
Andrews shared a horrifying story: “We recently had someone reach out to us after our app detected a hidden camera in the living room of their Airbnb. The host claimed that it wasn’t a camera but just a motion sensor. The renter was still suspicious and sent us a photo of the device. We were able to show him how to log in to the camera and prove that it was streaming video.”
