“Vacation rental homes offer convenience and comfort, but it’s crucial for renters to prioritize their privacy and safety,” said Michael Auletta, President of USA Bugsweeps Inc.
USA Bugsweeps Inc., a provider of technical surveillance countermeasures services in Freehold, NJ, shares tips to protect vacation home renters from hidden cameras. Recent incidents highlighted by Boston 25 News have raised concerns among travelers. A study by IPX1031 shows that 1 in 4 Americans have discovered hidden cameras, and 58% express concerns about hidden cameras in vacation rental properties.
The following tips may help vacationers protect themselves against hidden cameras:
- Secure WiFi Network Access: Ensure that you have access to the property’s WiFi network. Hidden cameras may use these networks to provide real-time access to recorded footage. Once connected, check for any unfamiliar devices listed on the network that are not visible within the premises.
- Identify Unfamiliar WiFi Networks: Be cautious of any protected WiFi networks that you do not have access to. Hosts or property owners may use these networks to connect to hidden cameras without your knowledge.
- Thorough Visual Inspection: Conduct a detailed visual inspection of areas with higher expectations of privacy, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, or spaces where individuals change or get undressed. Pay attention to items that seem out of place, such as alarm clocks in bathrooms or USB chargers without visible cords. Hidden cameras are often concealed within the decor and can go unnoticed, even by cleaning crews.
