But since <strong>the only third party \u2018check\u2019 that\u2019s performed is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.co.uk\/help\/article\/1308\">initial background check<\/a><\/strong> against public databases, the owner can more-or-less do as they please. Properties are never assessed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faeee3\">When choosing an Airbnb property to rent, consider the following to stay safe:<br><br>&#8211; <strong>Only choose properties with 4 or 5 star ratings and at least 30 reviews<\/strong>, prioritizing rentals with more than 50 reviews.<br>&#8211; Search for properties where the <strong>Host speaks the same language as you<\/strong> to avoid miscommunication and misunderstandings, particularly about the presence of surveillance on the property.<br>&#8211; Where possible, prioritize properties that are in <strong>well-populated areas<\/strong> as opposed to remote ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Essential_Ways_to_Detect_Hidden_Cameras_in_Airbnb\"><\/span><strong>3 Essential Ways to Detect Hidden Cameras in Airbnb&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Check alarm systems, bathrooms, mirrors, and electronic devices<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If suspicious while staying in an Airbnb rental, emphasize checking alarm systems, bathrooms, mirrors, and electronic devices like chargers. Visual, touch, and infrared checks (using your phone) are advisable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-link-color wp-elements-ac79529722538d940ed174ff0cc4b106\" style=\"background-color:#faeee3\">Did you know? Phones are pretty reliable tools for detecting hidden cameras. Simply download a hidden camera detector app. <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/hidden-camera-detector\/\">These are our favorites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use a wireless network checker<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be of any use to the host, a hidden camera would likely need to be connected to the internet to livestream, so it\u2019s also worth using a wireless network checker to scan for devices connecting to the Wi-Fi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like hidden camera checkers, wireless network checkers can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play store and used on a phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Check if it\u2019s being wiretapped<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also the possibility of the property being wiretapped, which is easier to conceal. Much like hidden cameras, this won\u2019t \u2018look\u2019 like a conventional microphone, but a very small and unsophisticated object with visible wires.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wiretapping hotspots are much the same as hidden cameras: alarms, smoke detectors, and electronic devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-7ceb21e30daa2a17f5b660ee93524844\">Wiretapping is illegal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.co.uk\/help\/article\/2914\/informing-guests-about-security-devices?_set_bev_on_new_domain=1646255118_OWIwMGQ5ZjVjOWY4#:~:text=Airbnb%20prohibits%20security%20cameras%20or,turned%20on%20or%20hooked%20up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">while surveillance in Airbnb must be declared by the owner.<\/a> Surveillance in private areas including bedrooms, bathrooms, or \u2018sleeping areas\u2019 is forbidden, which leaves only the living room, kitchen and garden as possibly legitimate places to survey Guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-link-color wp-elements-e82ba4a3210b8a5ad24617fe178b4135\" style=\"background-color:#faeee3\">Much like Airbnb, Uber has massively disrupted an industry ordinarily subject to strict regulations. But while surveillance in Airbnb properties is frowned upon, the same can\u2019t be said of rideshare vehicles.

One user recently shared a particularly surprising story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2018Was staying at an AIRBNB and was a little skeptical about people we were renting from. I set up camera to monitor the room while I was out,\u2019 they said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2018While out, the alarm sounded on my phone letting me know there was movement in the room. I watched live footage of what was taking place and it was my girlfriend. I watched her for a few minutes when all of the sudden she took a couple steps backwards and dropped to the floor.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as they got the notification, they rushed back to the rental property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2018I was able to perform mouth to mouth and CPR on her till paramedics arrived.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-link-color wp-elements-eea997b93e43440a49552e45f2e33121\" style=\"background-color:#faeee3\">For more on surveillance laws, including the differences between one-party and multi-party consent laws, take a look at our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/how-to-tell-if-security-cameras-have-audio\/\">cameras with audio<\/a>, where we discuss the various privacy laws surrounding consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_To_Do_If_You_Find_Cameras_in_Airbnb\"><\/span><strong>What To Do If You Find Cameras in Airbnb<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a hidden camera is uncovered while staying at an Airbnb property, do not tamper with the device, and refrain from touching it. Here\u2019s what to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quickly take photographs and\/or videos of the device as evidence of its existence. This could be contested if the Host removes the device before the Guest is able to report it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notify Airbnb via the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.airbnb.com\/expanding-the-urgent-support-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Urgent Support Line<\/a> in the app, which should connect users to someone from the Community Support Safety Team as quickly as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cover the device to prevent it from recording and contact the local police. Hidden cameras are a serious offense and can be deeply distressing to Guests, so never undermine the crime. If the property is particularly remote, consider covering the device with a towel to prevent more recording from taking place before the police arrive.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-link-color wp-elements-84026b64c6a0dd8e679cc69940c9a5af\" style=\"background-color:#faeee3\">Something doesn&#8217;t feel right?
