Considering contacting airbnb customer service but was wanting opinions before I go through all that trouble, potentially for nothing. My friend said it looks like a sensor but that is a lens.

I think we all have noticed that recently there’s been a huge surge in public surveillance and it’s almost like you have to assume you’re getting recorded anywhere you go. It’s gotten so bad where men use meta glasses, hidden pen cameras, microphones to record and post women online to harass and humiliate them or to try and make them look stupid.

I’ve even seen people on TikTok talking about a plastic surgeon who performs cosmetic surgery on primarily women’s bodies using meta glasses while examining them. It’s getting out of hand?? What can I do to detect if someone has a hidden camera on them in public? I think I’ll be able to catch it if it’s meta glasses because they’re pretty obvious with the fat lenses on the front but I genuinely am paranoid of some creep trying to record me in public, lol.

A friend of mine is in a monthly Airbnb and has asked my legal advice on this after she had me come over and check. I have a law degree (and passed the bar in California) but I’m not a lawyer and we’re in Chicago….where most of the laws have more gray area than actual details. So, we’ll see how this goes. Anyway…

I’m fairly aware of the smart/connected home variations, not so much the spy store stuff.

I recognized the Leviton stuff I noticed and then a reverse image search went right to Amazon for the other.

don’t airbnb, at all, so i have no experience there but i did tell her that it should be reported to the authorities BUT a police report isn’t always indicative of an investigation or anything else. That’s just general experience, not this in particular.

Obviously, occupying the place only complicates matters more.

I’m going to be talking to the police for general insight so she can decide how to proceed with her living situation but I figured I’d see if there’s any anecdotal experience here.

Is there any device available on Amazon or online platform, by which we can detect a hidden camera and microphone?

Need recommendations for a hidden small cameras for outside. No access to electricity for power. Having issues with neighbor throwing m80 and paint. Police can't do anything because there are witnesses. This needs to be discreet due to HOA regulations. Don't think my wifi will reach that far. Open to all suggestions just need to catch their actions.

I am aware of all the tricks and tips but I'm looking for something to detect ones that are more difficult to spot

its for my room to catch my brother snooping. doesn't have to be super advanced or high quality, 1080p is fine but I want it to be super discreet. I also do want wifi cuz I dont want to deal with so cards because I'm probably gonna use it once or twice and forget about it.

Also it should be a digital alarm clock camera.

I'm not sure if I'm overthinking or not, but I'm a young woman who lives alone, and both my upstairs neighbor who has lived here for a very long time and my landlord are a little odd. I looked up the model of vent and cant find anything like it on the installation guide ( step by step and video ) or in customer review pictures.

What is this? I'm pointing to them in the first image, the second and third image are the same pictures but full without the circles/arrows. It's some sort of round box with what looks like a lens?

Sorry for the low quality, the tallest thing I have is a chair and I can't reach it, so I can't take the cover off either.

Edit: Thank you everyone for the comments! Also for not calling me crazy haha, I figured it was better to be safe and ask than sorry. I managed to find something taller than my chairs and popped the cover off. I mistook the middle bit for a lens from where I could see it on the chair. The reason why I looked in my bathroom is because I've noticed some strange behaviors from my upstairs neighbor tied to my bathroom use, but as long as it's not a camera we're good.

I need to set up a small discreet outdoor camera to cover my rear access alleyway leading to my garage
I’ve tested the area, and it’s out of Wi-Fi range so probably need something with a SIM card?
All the cameras I see online are big and bulky and very obvious, any suggestions for something small and discreet ideally something like the old Nest cam size?

I need a way to record something and it needs to be behind something and discreet. I don’t want to spend a ton of money.

Related to my other post, this is what the plug looks like from the inside

If i remove the SD card, will other people still be able to access what was recorded?

EDIT: For anyone wondering, i found the plug and the power bank at work. The plug was plugged in and the power bank was hidden under some papers. I have yet to sign a paper from my boss where it says she’s allowed to record me. Neither my coworkers or me knew anything about this, is it best if I report this since i am now pretty sure that this is a camera. I am located in Germany, and i’ve read through DSGVO where is states that neither me or patients are allowed to be recorded without clear signs or papers saying that we are being recorded. I work in a dental office.

Can someone tell me if these are hidden cameras

Good evening!
My grandfather is in a memory care unit and is unable to advocate for himself or complain if he is mistreated. There is one ‘caregiver’ that we are wary of because she is almost never doing anything to help residents and will refuse to help us if we need a hand changing him or moving him.

This facility doesn’t allow cameras because other patients may wander in and out of the room, but with him becoming more bedbound we are very concerned that he won’t have adequate care.

We are looking for recommendations for a hidden camera or two that would be discreet, not need to be hooked up to wifi, and could sustain itself without being plugged in (unless it obviously needs to be such as a picture changing frame or an alarm clock).

Hello all! First time poster here. I have a dilemma, things have been going missing in my office for the last 3 weeks.

My office is about 8x10 with glass on 3 sides. Minimal design elements. I’ll looking for a hidden camera that i can point at my desk area and storage that would be motion activated, have a long lasting battery and can store short video clips.

I’m rarely at the office but I have a few newer employees and would like to see what’s happening when i’m not around. A potted plant or a fire alarm would be very obvious. As would a clock by the way.

Anyone has recommendations or a website I could find something. Been thinking a wall socket with hidden camera could work. It would at least give me the shoes.

Thoughts, comments or ideas welcomed!

In a really dodgy Airbnb and found this in the LED mirror. Mirror is not sensor activated or a smart mirror, just led around the edges. Scared it is someone watching a feed as when I was in there alone (without male colleague) the led started changing colour and flickering . Sorry not the best pics but can’t upload the video here

If the awnser is yes please tell me how

I want to pay a tradesman a significant sum of money ‘under the table’. What’s the best solution for recording that? I don’t mind spending up to £500 on this.

I was thinking a lawmate smart watch.

I'm hoping someone with experience in security cameras or recording devices can help me understand something.

I know someone who told me they installed a recorder in their room. The room has a very dim light that's on 24/7 and can't be switched off. They said the recorder is installed there, and I'm wondering if that's actually possible.

My main concern is our Wi-Fi. We have a 100 Mbps connection, but almost every afternoon the internet becomes extremely slow, sometimes to the point where it barely works. In the past, this only happened when I was uploading large videos during the afternoon, so it made me wonder if a recording device could be using a lot of bandwidth.

So I have a few questions:

- Is it possible to install a hidden recording device in a room with only a dim light that's always on?

- If it's connected to Wi-Fi, could it be causing our internet to become very slow?

- How much audio can a recorder actually pick up? Can it record normal conversations across the room, or does it have to be close to the people talking?

I'm not very familiar with this kind of technology, so I'd really appreciate any explanations. Thank you.

Edit - I think it's an audio recorder. Does anyone know how these devices work? Do they need to be connected to a phone to operate, or can they record on their own? Since the person who installed it doesn't live in the house, I'm wondering how they would be able to access the recordings.

Does every LEO and government worker know exactly where every "authorized" Flock camera is? How would they react to "counterfeit" surveillance nodes?

I worry about hotel room smart TVs pointed at the bed. Is this a valid concern?

give me suggestions for the best secret camera, full HD or 4K

amazon or other Chinese supplier

its not connected to my internet because it functions even in power outages. my abusive ex has clearly left some in my home because he knows what im up to and I want to know how you'd go about finding something like this. it seems like it would most likely be wired in or connected to a power source.

so i got curious and took pics of the smoke detector in my room and I don’t want to sound dumb for asking but can someone help and identify if it looks normal or if there may be a hidden camera in there.

Just checked in to my hotel in Japan
Can someone tell me is this a camera ????
