    Here are a few other places you can always check:
    Air vents
    Fans
    Mirrors
    Smoke detectors
    Phone Plugins (that were “accidentally” left by previous guests)
    Toys
    Decor
    The back of a fridge
    Toilet seats
    And the list continues.
    There are unlimited places that can be checked in a full security sweep. These are just a few.
    Stay vigilant and God bless. 🇺🇸

      Rooms with mirrors? Turn out the room lights and try to get a light in behind to see if it shines through the glass. A "two way" mirror looks normal from the light side but can be seen through from the dark side.

      - WWJD, What whould jesus do. In this case Jesus is a horny mexican guy who likes to plant cameras in the bedroom, toilets and livingroom.

      I’ve always taught my kids this and that they can also watch where they are walking to not step in dog mess or potholes by looking ahead of them at the ground which allows you to be more observant about what’s going on around you. To be fair though my kids have all done cadets throughout high school (age 11-16 here) and army training at the school as well as on the actual barracks has been really good for them. I think it should be compulsory for kids - it’s good for them to learn respect, do some exercise, learn ability to survive in the wild and gives them a maturity that kids now seem to not have.

      I taught myself a simple technique to clear my head and stay aware:
      Supermarkets are designed do direct customers' attention along a 'flow.' When I come in, I do a quick scan of what people are doing, look at the aisle signs to break the 'flow', then go about my business. When in line, things are usually arranged to direct one's attention to the 'impulse buy racks.' I look up, look past the racks and registers, for the exit or for a window. When I see it, I can bring the 'outside' feeling inside and be focused and alert again, not idly staring at something or nothing.
      AND I NEVER STARE AT MY PHONE.

The cameras are so small and light today that it is possible to glue it behind a painting where the color is black, red or dark.

      If you've ever stayed in a room in one of the major Vegas casinos in the early 2000s, you'll notice that the light fixtures in the bathrooms are surrounded by a mirror-like material. Now I don't know if this is true or not, but my friend's uncle had security leadership role at a Vegas casino in the '90s. And according to him, or rather his brother, my friend's dad, the casinos fitted up hotel rooms with cameras. Could be total bs. Although, those weird one-way mirror-like devices I saw made me believe in at least the possibility. I've never seen bizarre, and out of place looking, light fixtures like that anywhere else.

It doesn’t have heavy sticky stuff- so that it wont pull paint off the walls when you remove it, and wont leave sticky residue behind. Even less sticky residue than bandages-This will make it perfect for what you suggested, because it wont harm the surfaces in the air bnb when you remove it. I could pack a roll of that . Its very lightweight stuff. And much cheaper than bandages. But the idea came from you so thank you- because you can’t throw a towel over every little spot, because there wont be something to hook an item of clothing/ rag/ towel onto in most spots on the wall/ paintings etc. Excellent idea

    But the first thing I do when I go to a hotel room is I sweep it I make sure nobody is in there hiding, and some motels you must look for other ways they can get into your room like a door under the sink, a door under the sink in the kitchen, a door hidden behind the refrigerator, look in the closet for hatches, if you see a hatch and it has a handle on it tied at handle with a rope, and you make it so tight that anyone lifting it is going to make a hell of a lot of noise if they try to open it, usually what I do is I look inside the hatch I'll open it with my gun in hand with flashlight on it, but you have to check all the furniture and everything because I found hotels where there was a little hatch that are human could fit through, while you're sleeping your door on your windows are secure but a person could come through that hatch

    This applies to hotels, motels, etc as well. Basically, any place that's not yours. Not to be paranoid, but even when staying with family it might be good to periodically check your designated sleeping area and toilet/shower facility. Your adult sister, aunt, or in-laws are probably trustworthy, but there may be an over-sexed teenager in the picture somewhere, with a phone or tablet full of hard-core p0rn, and who has the secret hots for your wife, making periodic visits to your bedroom while you're out or downstairs eating the Christmas turkey, in order to install or check whatever cheap spy stuff he could score on Amazon the day before. Yes. This is what our society has been reduced to. Don't be paranoid. But stay safe. Cheers.

      U can get a P.I @$150... That's all I paid, it was for: searching for- tracking devices in my car, hidden cams in my home. Then copy 30 threatening messages & put them on a disk for court.
      I believe she charged $150 an hr but what she did for me was a quick and easy task....all at the same place. You can also get a decent quote for a week's worth of work, I think it was only $1500.
      I was going through a nasty divorce & had already got temp custody of our 8-month-old baby w restraining order. When she started texting me of my exact whereabouts, sent vids of me & my new girl "NAKED IN BED!"
      So the P.I found a hidden cam in my room & a gps tracking device under my car..... Psycho ex was pretty crafty 😆

    00:06 🛡 Part two of Airbnb security focuses on finding hidden cameras.
    00:38 🕵 Cheap bug sweeping devices from Amazon aren't effective; professional equipment costs thousands.
    01:25 🧐 Think like a criminal to locate hidden cameras; focus on areas like bathrooms and bedrooms.
    02:02 🤔 Use the fingertip test to check for anomalies or hidden devices.
    03:02 🛁 Hidden cameras may be placed in shower or bathroom areas; remember to check ceilings.
    04:10 🕵 Always look up for potential hidden cameras, as humans tend to overlook higher areas.
    04:52 🔍 Conduct thorough checks in the bedroom, including TVs, pictures, and outlets.
    07:33 🛏 If uncomfortable, cover suspicious areas with blankets or sheets; it takes seconds.
    08:28 🧐 Take a few seconds to glance around, especially in master bedrooms and bathrooms, to detect hidden cameras.
    08:50 🤓 Hidden cameras in Airbnbs are likely poorly concealed; thorough observation increases chances of detection.

    i so appreciate others who are in the business help others who are not. thank yor for your tips. 2 questions: that first light w/the grass underneath it... imho, that would have been a great hiding place...the grass would cover the lense; 2nd question... is what about those ventilator vents....some are on the sides some on the ceiling... thoughts? thank you.

    Anytime I've stayed anywhere I always do the fingertip test on the mirrors. I don't remember where I read about it, but if you touch a mirror and there isn't a gap between your finger tip and the reflection, it's a two way mirror.

    • @lrmackmcbride7498

      Front surface mirrors are not always two way mirrors but two way mirrors are always front surface mirrors. Front surface mirrors are definitely worth further investigation.

      @Ardeact Рік тому +2

      Why would you contact the owner? They will most likely try their best to delete all evidence and cover it up. Call the police first before anything
