@Dolly Girl Twins Problem: Who will control the AI and how will you find it? It can travel anywhere, if there is access to the Web. So, in other words: The tracker is being tracked and that person is being tracked, etc. And A.I. is surfing the Web. Talk about out-of-control !!
So what? If you don't do anything wrong, what's the problem? It's usually criminals who complain about these things.
@@grantofat6438 The real criminals spout BS like you just did.
@@grantofat6438 it's about protecting your right to privacy man. Seeing this weak argument everytime is getting old real quick
@@TargetedbytheCorrupt sure is - the neighbors in this apartment complex film me constantly - police are notified but have not done a thing about it
I am 55 years old and overweight. Anyone live streaming me in the shower will lose all their subscibers instantly. Sad that we even have to think or talk about this.
there is a fetish for everything....and yes - sad that this is a thing and becoming more and more of an issue
I'm 55 and am actually quite disappointed that no one wants to stream me in the shower. 😜🤡✌️

Girl please that actually makes you extra spicy
My daughter worked in a motel for about a year as a manager. They had lots of repeat salesmen that were arrested for invasion of privacy and peeping and other thing’s because of these cameras. They would put them in and come back and ask for the same room the next time they were in town when they knew they were going to change jobs or something. They didn’t know housekeeping scanned the room every morning.
I think every place should do this.
love that the scan the rooms!!! that is amazing.
Great staff scan the rooms, so many perverts around.
*things
I would love a job where alls you do is go around and find these in hotels.
@martha barbee
That is amazing! What country did this happen in? What year did this occur? What rating did the motel have? - thank you
This is a real thing. Ten years ago I moved 1400 miles cross country. I reserved five different motels and two of them had hidden cameras inside the room. The first one I didn't realize until I'd spent the night and then noticed the red flashing light. I called the police who assured me that the camera wasn't hooked up to anything and I was worrying about nothing. I left them a poor review on multiple web sites. The second one was at my destination city and alerted I inspected the room before turning in and found five cameras, two in the bedroom and three in the bathroom. I called the police there as well and they came and checked them out and then went to the office and talked to the manager/owner and they ended up arresting that person. I didn't stay at that motel. I found a different one and no cameras. While apartment hunting in my new county I found several apartments that had cameras in them. I reported all of them. My experience tells me that 40% of all motel rooms have cameras and a quarter of all rental units do. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
How do you search for them?
I'm surprised the police did anything. I would assume that since it's the owner's property installing cameras there is creepy but legal
@@luxurypetscz No, it is not legal at all. Cameras are only legal where there is not a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Yea an the Cops are involved in it to!! Weirdos
I currently live in an apartment I know has a sprinkler camera. However management can't be trusted, don't know what to do.
A useful check is to darken the hotel room (turn off lights/close curtains) and scan the room with the camera on your phone. Any infra red light sources will show up as bright white lights and might indicate a camera.
@notfiveo 😱
Very useful comment thank you!
@notfiveo
😳 😳 😳 😳
It will work for a cheap i.r device lol but not a fancy one just my phoenix jr i.r beacon alone has to be held right up to my phone to barely be able to see any light at all my m962 light with the fm35 ir filter can barely be seen as well and that's pumping out some serious i.r lighting you can feel the heat across my shop but if viewing from across the room won't even know its on a cheap night vision device is the best bet to see all i.r
yay for old school analog cameras
If you spot a hidden cam you can destroy them with a simple red laser pointer. Point the laser at close range to the camera for about a minute. Laser pointers not only damage your retina, but also camera sensors too. Look away....don't stare at the reflected laser light!
Will it work for all hidden cameras?
@@user-dw6pn6wc9j It should unless they have a really dark filter over the lens. Of course, a piece of tape works too if you can reach it.
Yes and no. Not all laser pointers have enough intensity. It's easier to tape them over.
Quick way to detect 2 way mirrors. Put your finger against the mirror. A real mirror has the reflective oxide behind the glass and will show a gap between your finger and its reflection. A two way has the reflective oxide in front of the glass and there is no gap.
good tip!
This isn’t always true though
@@LironSegev and nice pun
@@baloosd glad someone got it 😜

Sorry, but if you found a hidden camera in a hotel room, why aren't these people in jail? Its illegal, not just creepy. Especially in the bathroom.
Humanity as a whole has gone in the shitter
I was visiting the restroom at a well known pizza chain. I saw a tiny hole in the wall directly across from the toilet in the stall, so out of paranoia, I decided to look in it. I saw directly into the back storage area. I told the female workers right away and they were horrified. People are so desperate. 🙄
My two cats went bonkers at the patio sliding door even though the drapes were closed they could see something. I looked through the drapes and there was a man and he started running away. There was a package of potato chips on the patio floor. The police had hoped I could look at pictures and identify a man that was exposing himself to girls. I saw the peeper in the pics but it was not the man the police were trying to get. This was decades ago. Be very careful out there.
CREEPY. 💯%
Already spent so much time to find cameras in my own apartment placed by others, and here are my tips in return. The hinges from inside doors, where there is a hole in the pin (every inside door in the house!) and the flushing knobs built in the wall of the toilet, where a spare space is for pressing them. They are really getting a private view of you.....All ladies who are living on their own, do your check up regularly. (solution: tape it off)
Rule 1: Trust nobody
There is always someone out there that wants to ruin your day but thankfully the majority of people do care. What's important these days is to educate yourself and be proactive instead of reactive.
exactly that. Where there is money to be made, criminals will be. So unfortunately, it means us regular people just need to be aware and take precautions.
It would more than wreck ur day
So am I going to be able to do what you guys do
The real camera you should be concerned about is the one on your phone. And all the photos you store on your phone and in the cloud.
iphone actually easy to be tracked where they go while android can be turned off those features
That's what I always think. I don't have TikTok but I use Redmi phone because of my family
But the camera on my phone isn't recording me while I'm taking a shower or taking a dump.
I have the option of not bringing it into the bathroom.👍🏻
Mine are all taped over on phone and tablet
You can just put a blanket over the phone. But what about the hidden cams that are super small and hard to see?
I am glad you also cover this topic because I do this already years ago; scanning my hotel room for hidden cams first and got laughed at by family & friends...😑 (and yes, check whatever the latest hidden spy cams are available helps to detect them) Hopefully more people are aware of these practices.
How many have you found?
What do you find most useful??
What do I use to spot the hidden cameras?
@@frankmeza5988 yes!
@@KimberlyLetsGo pilot is blind so none
Well now I'm regretting taking the weird band-aid off a smoke detector in a hotel in greece. It was right above the bed and I assumed a guest before us put it there so they could smoke in the room undetected... now I'm wondering if someone put it over a camera there.
yep
Must watch video for anyone staying in dorms, hostels, hotels
unfortunately yes...
Brothels too.
I find it funny that these Camera detectors cost MORE than the cameras xD it's almost like an industry is creating a problem that can be fought with yet another product.
Infinite money glitch!
Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Liron. This is some creepy sh...stuff
Sure is...
What would we do without you to look out for us? Seriously! All your posts are so helpful. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Perfectly said. Love this channel @Liron Segev
Appreciate you being here 🔥
We have so many cameras at work it is truly unnerving! My manager spends most of her day just watching us, judging our words and actions. They don’t fire people they just chastise them all the time.
Just sickening! The cameras are there to protect them from lawsuits!
RUN
Why do you keep working for them
@@RigmoreTalonbeard I was fired because on of the registers was short $9.93. Lol, but their sales plummeted, and their new manager got busted three days after they fired me. So they are in the middle of a shot show!
@@enough1494 how was your little mcdonalds stint?
I rented a cottage in the Outerbanks of North Carolina. The cottage had 8 hidden cams and the landlord lived next door. I found all the cams gathered them up knocked on the landlords door handed him the cams and left. I never looked back nor will i rent from that company again. FYI watch your back.
You probably should have taken them to the police instead of giving them back to the owner who probably just reinstalled them for the next people.
Or at very least put them in the dumpster.
You could have been the new owner
u coulda kept them or disposed
How did you conclude the cameras were not left by a previous guest?
I stayed at a big brand motel while traveling through Texas and the first thing I noticed was a hole in the ceiling about the size of a dime over the shower area. So obviously I didn't take a shower that night, but I'm positive it was a motel worker because the ceilings in that bathroom were freakishly tall, at least 12 ft so you would definitely need a tall ladder or access to the attic area to place that camera.
What kind of pictures or video would they get from the ceiling.
@@zahirmurji I'm sure the camera could view the whole bathroom, especially at that height and if the door was open it would show the room also.
Get a piece of tissue and stand on a chair to stuff the hole.
Why not just change rooms so you could take the shower you paid for.............
@@zahirmurji come on, why you’re asking her ?. She didn’t placed camera there how would she know what been recorded .
I protect myself by staying home anymore, just glad I am old and already had my experiences, travel. If I need to stay in a hotel and there is a hidden camera, the joke is on the person recording me. I also will NEVER stay in an AirBnb again, once I found out they are allowed to have cameras everywhere inside (except place you change clothing, the bedroom and bathroom). It's a bunch of nonsense, if I am paying that much money to rent a place for one night (including almost $50 for a 'cleaning fee'). I Demand privacy at all times inside a place. And I would also want privacy if making a cell phone call outside but on the property.
@@strongtowerman9661 I don't know the specifics of the laws in each country or State. But I read the policy in the United States is AirBNB hosts are allowed to have cameras everywhere except (in the bathroom and bedroom). But like I said its nonsense, I travel alone and sometimes i might be changing in the common area outside the bedroom and I demand privacy (just like I would when staying inside a hotel suite). If they are going to install a camera, it should only be one that is coming into and leaving the place at main door and it should be clearly visible so you know it is there. So given now I have heard of too many cases of AirBnb guests being recorded (and AirBnb hosts defending their right to do so, to prevent property damage/liability) then if that is the hosts position, they will not be getting anymore of my hard earned money and I will be posting this message all over social media to warn AirBnB and other property rental website customers, that if you stay in these places there is a high probability you are being recorded.
My friends on about staying in a Airbnb but think I've changed my mind after this video and your comment thanks for letting people know
@@strongtowerman9661 ok relax no one wants their stuff stolen either
Mr.Segev, I have been a subscriber for just under a year now and I wanted to thank you for all that you do for us. I like the humor you inject into your videos and the truly useful information is terrific!! I use much of your tips in my personal life I am aware it's sad but true that assaults on our privacy is getting worse and worse all the time. So, Thank you Mr.Segev for the great vidoes. Keep up the great work!....⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chris - thank you for that message! I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave this epic comment🔥
You have to operate as if you are being spied on, no matter where you are.
We are all already being spied on no matter where we are
@@philyamascunt7518 So true
Yeah, notice the cameras at stop and streetlights. Those are not bird feeders
Great words to live by
Which makes it illegal, actually..
I've seen these in doctor offices,especially in the ones that are for work related injuries,or workmans comp waiting rooms,medical exam rooms...I can feel them instantly.
You would think this would be a routine part of the hotels checklist when they clean the rooms for the next guest...unless they're the ones planting the camera🤨
theirs are most likely in the tv...throw a towel over the tv if you are ....
This is horrifying! But! I don't stay in hotels. I worked in a 5 star, 5 diamond hotel for years... They're all nasty. They all cut corners. Don't use hotel blankets and always wear flip flops in the showers
I agree 💯 percent. I always bring my blanket from home and sleep on top of the bed, not in the bed. I use flip flops in the shower and never use the in room coffee machine. I also take a big can of Lysol and spray the room down especially the air conditioner/ heating unit. I just got tiered of getting sick after hotel stays.
P.S. Bring your own towels if you can. Seen some hotel towels that have stains on them.
It’s disgusting that Amazon enables these people by allowing people to sell items clearly intended for such seedy purposes.
Thing is, they have legitimate uses too. For example if you hire a nanny or someone who routinely visits your property, and you suspect them of stealing. These are great for gathering evidence. Private investigators also love this sort of gadgetry.
The use is supposed to be in your own home for burglars or a maid stealing from you. However, I can see this as a major problem going to your friends house or a party somewhere and you have to use their bathroom.
@@UserNameTakenDown Yeah, down with American capitalism! The government should control everything we're able to sell and buy, goshdarnit! 😤
actually they can be used for nanny cams as well, and a LOT of stuff has been recorded on them
What utter nonsense. Amazon is not responsible for how people use the products they sell. There can be proper lawful uses for these types of devices.
You can't ban the sale of products just because someone might use it in an illegal way.
Bed Bugs are not the only bugs you have to worry about in hotels now a days!
Insects have cameras and frequency detectors smart farming and more biotech
I always make sure I give the middle finger and use expletives to the walls and ceilings in any hotel rooms that I might stay in.. just in case someone’s watching I make sure they know how I feel about that in no uncertain terms.
Wow! That’s the most impotent thing I’ve ever read!
@@Frankie5Angels150 anyone who spies on me deserves impotency.
😂 same
The hotel staff was not happy when I destroyed there CCTV in the breakfast lounge.
Instructions not clear. 10/10 video
🤪

just turn off the light in the room then use the camera on your phone. It will show the UV light coming from the planted camera. I use it to trouble shoot photo sensors at work.
What if the camera is the type of cam that doesn't reflect the red light ?
Tik tok users looking for hidden cameras is a laugh. Just downloading the app gives the Chinese government access to everything on your phone , even the cameras...
Somewhat ironic don't you think!
Nah, The Chinese government just buys your data directly from Google, that way they can know literally everything about you.
& u don't think that Google uses the fact that they can watch & listen at any or all times. Heck, even I can get software to do that.
Yeah tik tok absolutely does this, with Chinese spyware.
But so does Google. And the US government... Have you heard of Edward Snowden?
That's an exaggeration. They have access to what you give them access to. The privacy problems come into play with the Chinese govt having access to your email, name, other telemetry, etc without due process like in other countries.
idk about iOS but on Android you can grant temporary permissions and use TikTok but any other data shared with the service can be sent to the CCP.
When I was an athlete in high school I had to travel a lot for competitions and now I wonder if I was being watched and it makes me very sad to think about it
Your videos are amongst the best in regards to information, content and advice. Very professional and well worth following. Thank you for making these videos. 👍
Appreciate you being here 🔥
Bring a tent ⛺️ in the room. 😁. Shower with your clothes on and hang a big poster. Saying"I know you are watching" 🤣
🤣 Best advice I've seen here !
This is what I think lol..
there is a neighbor here that put 2 cameras in the living room and kitchen just to stalk neighbors. I wonder, if the neighbor across uses a light pointing to the cameras, does blind the cameras?
Gee a bunch of sick people
pretty much....
I've always just assumed hidden cameras were in every Hotel and public restroom😄
But if you live in an apartment building and find a camera, will the police even investigate and press charges? People living in apartments are very concerned about this now. Do police generally take it seriously?
Don't forget to also check with UV light for nastiness in the hotel room.
I so appreciate your videos! I purchased a Livescribe echo pen just to write and store pointers/notes from your videos hahaha! They are always in verbiage I can understand! Thank you! Keep up the AMAZING work 😊

@@ConorORegan hi handsome 🥰
Thank you . Just what I needed. I’m taking a few trips this year and trying to determine whether to use an Air BnB or hotel. This will help me a lot.
Great informative video. I thought about getting one of these to scan when I go to hotel.
Wow, i live in the U.K. and I had no idea about this issue, I thought it was just the odd air B&B pervert owner who would put up cameras. Thank you for for this and all the comments people have added.
Now something else to do when I check in. I always disinfect surfaces with my toalettes.
Thanks for this information. I didn’t know these were so inexpensive. I will be buying one and I won’t stay in another hotel or use a another public restroom without it. At my local park that I frequent, the male employees often clean the women’s restrooms, the same at my library. You’re the best man. 👍🏼
Great info! Thank you 💙
And Segev thanks for all you doing for us!!! God bless you, universe thanks you!!!
You continue to amaze … great vids/info.
I try haha - thanks for being here!
You can see through a one way mirror with a camera and a flash. Put the lens of the camera on the mirror, and take a picture with the flash. It has to be manually focused, but the flash will be enough to see through the mirror.
I learn so much from you. Thanks!
Always great stuff.thankyou !
My pleasure!
People are sick!
not really a big surprise...
It is such a foolish risk for anyone with a hotel to take. A perfect way to simultaneously ruin your business, and land in jail at the same time.
its usually not the hotel but a rouge employee
I've seen these kinds of hidden cameras mostly in China and Japan, I think there are even jobs that primarily looks for these hidden cams in places (sometimes not only in hotels/motels, even public bathrooms and changing rooms in stores have these hidden cams!!) This just gives me major paranoia in public! 😰
nowadays with AliExpress, those camera can be bought everywhere in any country
Well, if you don't do anything weird or illegal, why worry? You may have to refrain picking your nose so not to be seen doing that. l always worked on the basis that everyone was staring at me - now l know cameras are everywhere, l have more confidence that l have learned what to do and what not to do, and if l do anything someone could criticise and they are true, well, l have to have enough integrity to accept l have behaved badly.
@@greendrummers Is this sarcasm?
Subbed. Great channel.
We once wondered about a motel room with large mirrors in the wall. Likely that setup wouldn't be necessary I guess.
First thing is check for bedbugs - just saying....
Second thing. Not staying in a room that has a camera 📸
Excellent and valuable channel!
I believe I became aware of hidden cameras in student accommodation in Cork City on the Western Road beside the River Hotel. In behind the bathroom mirrors. Creepy Place, I felt the whole week I was there , I needed to change my room due to another issue but was glad to get out of that place.

Some real strange people about! I use a powerful beam torch and stick plasters on mirrors to check for two way. Stay safe 👍🏼
Could you not use the camera on your mobile phone to detect infrared cameras, as I know they pick up the infrared light from a T V remote or is that a different kind of light?
I saw on eBay whare these different tiny surveillance cameras are for sale on there. I’m beginning to wonder if someone should buy them or etc. I would get permission first before selling one of those things or else take em offf of eBay. Those tiny hidden camera devices are a distraction
Viewing the room in the dark with your camera and torch on at the same time works too I believe.
Seriously, the cops will/can do nothing. I wouldn’t waste my time.
Yep, you gotta take matters into your own hands.
There's nothing they can do, unless you know who planted the camera and where they are located so they can be investigated.
Is this what Rockwell was actually singing about?
The first thing to do at hotel room arrival is to locate all the fire exits on your floor. Then check for hidden cameras!
And bed bugs..
Always Check for bedbugs before anything else!
@@Frankie5Angels150 how do we check?
interesting I have stayed at various air bnb`s around england, and did wonder if they had camera`s, I only saw one , one time it was in the ceiling in a hallway, now you got me wondering where they could of hidden others !
Can't the hotel be sued over that? Especially if there's one in the bathroom? That's highly illegal
Yes I believe so.
yes but only if you can prove your privacy was invaded . So give them a show before you report it. But dont touch the camera if you find one.
@@wilcoxtactical3716 and how u prove u are not the one who installed this camera before u exposed it? :)
Thanks for the video Liron
No problem 👍
Tried buying the second one that you showed that did sweeping for bugs also but it is unavailable on Amazon. Do you have another recommendation?
It seems like it would be possible to detect the WiFi signal these cameras are using.
Yup - Many of these have hidden WiFi networks, so you would need an app to reveal that. The problem is that the cheaper ones just store the video locally so no wifi...
In 1989 in Florida I had a neighbor who did pest control at apt complexes in a college town with lots of apartments . He stole pics from bedrooms and valuables. Hide you back up flash drives and password protect everything. It does not take long to copy files.
EXCELLENT video MATE !!!😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊

My pleasure!
Head hurting from trying to "think like a creep" 😫 This world
I've been to a couple of Airbnbs last week. Where do I go to see the feeds? 😅
Employers in the workplace can also try to do this by putting one in your office which is technically illegal, I live in Winnipeg, Canada and have seen it happen 👍
Thank you! ❤
I believe you can do the same without equipment. Just open camera on iPhone and look through it. It can reflect the same as those gadgets :)
This is horrifying! It never occurred to me to check smh!
Aye mate I always double check in hotel rooms my girlfriends thinks I'm paranoid but I don't care
Hey it’s like that girl who was being filmed in her bathroom at her college apparently. I heard they shared the footage with a lot of people.
haha I feel sorry for anyone spying in my bathroom
@ geekynewz
Don't legitimize this by making a joke about it!
Can you test it on a hardwired smoke detector? How do you know the difference between the flashing ready light and a hidden camera?
Or just put on a oculus quest in start up mode where you can see everything in greyscale. Put your phone on the table face up place your air pods on top the screen . WOW right now look anywhere you want everything that throws IR WILL BE BRIGHT WHITE!
Wonderful video 👍👌very informative
Thanks a lot
