Hotel Romance Safety: 5 Must-Know Tips for Couples to Avoid Hidden Cameras

• Upon entering, turn off lights, close curtains, and use your phone's camera (especially front) to detect infrared hidden cameras, which appear as red/purple dots.
• Use your mobile flashlight to scan the room; camera lenses will reflect a blue or purple light like glass.
• Download a network scanner app like Fing to identify unusual devices (e.g., IP Camera, Hidden Device) connected to the hotel Wi-Fi.
• Inspect smoke detectors, alarm clocks, teddy bears, power sockets, or extenders for suspicious placement; gently touch or cover anything that feels odd.
• For heightened security, consider using an inexpensive RF detector or lens detector to identify camera radio frequencies.

Why It Matters: Couples must take proactive steps to detect hidden cameras and ensure privacy during hotel stays.
