Finding a hidden camera in a rental is terrifying. You did the right thing by leaving immediately, documenting what you saw, and filing reports with both the platform and police. That host\u2019s \u201chis\u201d reply only reinforced that you couldn\u2019t trust the property.<\/p>\n

Do a 2-minute sweep at any stay: scan ceilings, vents, clocks, chargers, smoke\/CO detectors, and anything facing beds or baths. Kill the lights and use your phone flashlight\u2014lenses often glint. Open your phone\u2019s front camera to spot faint purple IR dots from night-vision cams.<\/p>\n

If you spot a device, don\u2019t confront onsite. Get out, take clear photos\/video (including the device\u2019s view and any SD slot\/labels), and contact local police plus the platform\u2019s safety line. Keep all messages, ask for an incident number, and request relocation\/refund in writing.<\/p>\n
