Has anyone found a hidden camera in their hotel room?

[SailingOnAWave]

I keep reading horror stories about people finding hidden cameras in their hotel room. So now when I stay somewhere I thoroughly check the room out.

My question is, has anyone actually come across a hidden camera?

Never thought to look…..

It’s not even on the top 50 things I think about when on holiday…

Never even thought about it. And if someone is going to get their jollies off seeing my flabby white arse then that’s up to them.

Am over 50. No one wants to see me strip. . No I don't bother. I do, however, wash the kettle 5 times after seeing some dubious posts.

"Keep reading" maybe it's time to clear your cookies?

Found one in the supermarket once

What happened with the kettles?

People, and by people I mean men, pee in them or/and boil their pants to wash them.

Why do men pee in kettles

Who knows.

LOL
Next time im there, I'll look

Hidden cameras in hotel rooms are about as likely as a two-way mirror in the hotel room loo... zero. They've just conspiracy theories that have been shared a million times.

Yes an Airbnb childs room with bunk beds. Found a sim card in a car park. Showed it to techy son. He found the file, watched a man fitting it. Then a family arriving. Two little girls excited to have bunks. Son found the house down in the Bristol area. I noted the address. Took the card and address to the police.

I have heard it’s more likely in Airbnbs than a hotel.

small percentage but then its usually for honey traps, for corporate or state espionage by various countries

😳

No.

In our last holiday in Japan I remember seeing something under the side table which looked like a camara but only pointed to the floor. I was doing some yoga and noticed it. But I didn’t investigate or enquire about it

@kimbear87 why hidden when they have security cameras all over the place?

Oh … what’s wrong with the kettles?

Really?!! That’s just perverse…

I can envisage some air bnb owners might install cameras. I’m not sure hotels would be that controlling/interested. They are well used to strangers using their facilities and most rooms are designed to be easily reinstated to normal if things go wrong.

It would be more likely the guests installing them for nefarious purposes. It does happen but I’ve never been othered enough to look.

It's also untrue, but it makes a great "ooh ooh be scared everywhere you go" story, so people repeat it.

Never looked tbh
