In many recent cases hidden cameras have been found in some of the hotel rooms affiliated to OYO, so let’s talk about some of the ways we can detect the cameras and report the owners of such hotels to the police.
1.Use of Smartphones Camera to Detect the Hidden Cameras
A smartphone’s camera can be used to detect these hidden cameras. At night, if there is a hidden camera in your room it will flash some dotted lights because without it the camera will not be able to capture the room. These dotted lights are not always visible to the naked eyes, but another camera’s lens can be used to detect such lights. In order to detect the lights, make sure there is complete darkness in the room, then turn on your smartphone’s camera and start rotating it in the room. If there is any camera inside the room, the flashing lights will be visible on your smartphone’s screen.
2. Using Android and IOS apps to Detect Hidden Cameras
There are certain apps available for smartphones, which helps the camera hardware to detect such infrared lights better. These kind of apps are available for both Android and IOS devices and are usually free. However, the paid apps are assured that they are genuine and will not provide any false result. “Hidden Camera Detector” is available on IOS for 4.99 $ and “ Glint Finder” for Android is available free on Google PlayStore.
3. Check your room environment Carefully
As soon as you check into your room, it is necessary for you to check the surroundings of the room carefully, the walls, backside of the dressing mirror and the curtains as well. If your room consists of a false ceiling, then make sure you check there as well, as it is one of the most common and safest places to put up such cameras. You should undertake all of these precautions before making any sexual contact with your partner or in general performing any activity in the room.
What to do, if you find a Hidden Camera?
If you suspect someone watching you in the room or suspect anything abnormal that could cause any harm to your privacy, then you should immediately bring it in the notice of the management. But they are most likely to refuse about the presence of any such cameras. So the best way to protect yourself against such exploitations is either calling the police or contact the higher authority who can take the case proceedings legally. But make sure you take action against such fraud people otherwise they will not be afraid of the law and if today it has happened with you today, tomorrow someone else could also be the victim.
