If you don't know what an Airbnb is it is a home or other residence that is rented out to those looking to stay in the area. The thing about Airbnbs is that they are usually privately owned by one person who either lives there occasionally and rents it out on their off time, or they use it specifically as an Airbnb rental.

Either way, these people have complete access to the home and can pretty much do whatever they want to it because it's there's, which gives people a bit of anxiety when it comes to staying in these places because of possible hidden cameras. Well, this guy has brought us all the knowledge when it comes to hidden cameras.

This man went to TikTok to explain to everyone how exactly he inspects for hidden cameras and where exactly the common places for them to be hidden is at. Overall, I think he's instilled a bit of confidence in his followers to inspect their Airbnbs for hidden cameras.

His TikToks are being shared around everywhere because of the great advice he's given to them which can not only save them in an Airbnb but in any hotel or other place that they may want to stay. Let's dive into what he has to say about hidden cameras.

Here's where it all starts when people start asking how he detects hidden cameras in the Airbnbs.

58% of people say that they are worried about hidden cameras in Airbnbs and 11% have actually found them during their stay. Airbnb does say that hidden cameras are prohibited, however, this doesn't stop people from using them so we have to be more careful and aware of where we stay.

He begins to explain that you should look for devices where creeps may want to look.

It is legal in the US to have cameras inside of your home because most people do it for safety reasons. On the other hand, Airbnbs are not allowed to have cameras inside of the home.

It's illegal to record someone without their consent when there is a reasonable expectation of privacy inside of the home, such as in Airbnbs or other hotel-like situations.

He goes on to give an example such as this fire alarm which is right over the bed.

He states that shining a light at the camera will show the lens. This is the easiest way to spot a camera in an odd place like this.

Here is where he shows the blue reflection that camera lens' give off when a light is shined at it.

Hidden camera video footage can be used for many different illegal activities such as being sold on the internet, made into a live stream, or even used as blackmail. Unfortunately, hidden cameras are becoming easier to have because they are getting smaller and smaller which makes it easier for people to hide them in undetectable places.

This camera is shown inside of an alarm clock, which many of us wouldn't have even thought twice about.

This wall charger is also a camera and you can clearly see this when a light is shined at it.

He also gives tip son how to see night vision cameras. It's amazing how many tricks there are to spotting these cameras.

Make sure that you're using a front facing camera when searching for night vision cameras.

He shows a lot of images of these lights and LEDs so that we know what to look for and how to determine if it's a hidden camera we are seeing.

Another great tip saying that most bathroom cameras are probably not night vision.

He shows us yet another almost undetectable tiny camera.

It's important that you check any weird devices or holes that might point to an area such as a bathroom, bedroom, shower, or any other suspicious area.

Check out the video before we head to the comments.

The first comment on this TikTok is a disclaimer from the creator saying this is a stage setup that he's teaching us with.

Some commenters were joking about these, while others had experiences to share.

People started sharing stories and other places they've found hidden cameras at.

This is definitely a vibe.

Again, people have jokes on this one.

This has definitely opened up people's eyes who may have not thought about the possibility of hidden cameras before.

People are realizing the possibility of hidden cameras in the Airbnbs that they stayed in.

This is a very weird way to find out you were being recorded.

This is very true. Filing a lawsuit is a lot of work, but this is a definite win.

This person gives us a few places that hidden cameras are typically hidden as well as giving a shoutout to a hidden camera detector.

It's great that people are being so lighthearted about this, because some would definitely be freaking out and never stay in an Airbnb again.

This is another perspective that I don't think anyone considered.

This guy has definitely saved us from being filmed with hidden cameras inside of Airbnbs. The knowledge that he gave his followers will be used from now on, especially since staying in Airbnbs has become so popular.

If you have any knowledge to add then please share because you never know who it might help out.
