Spy cameras concealed in common hangers threaten hotel privacy
Unassuming hangers, often placed on cabin doors or in hotel bathrooms, can serve a dangerous function. Although they look harmless from the outside, they conceal advanced spy technology.
When using public washrooms or renting hotel rooms, we expect privacy. Although we should feel safe in such places, the reality may differ. Many people are unaware that their privacy might be at risk in such places.
A gadget for voyeurs
Internet users have been warned to inspect hangers in washrooms and hotels closely. These unassuming hooks, which are supposed to be used for hanging clothes, can contain hidden spy cameras. These concerns are not unfounded, as such devices are widely available on the market.
At first glance, such a hanger doesn’t raise suspicion. Its function is to hold a coat or handbag, but it can simultaneously record our movements, even during the most intimate moments, such as using the washroom or changing clothes. Therefore, it’s worth paying attention to specific details.
A distinctive hole in the upper part can be recognized as a spy hanger. This is where a tiny camera is located, activated by a motion sensor. When it detects someone's presence, this camera records everything within its range. Sometimes, such a hanger also has a rectangular flap covering a memory card where recordings are stored.
Report to the police
Although the production and sale of such devices are legal, using them to spy on and record people without their consent, especially in intimate situations, is a crime. The problem is that such cameras can be mounted in an undetectable way.
It’s worth being vigilant in public places to avoid potential dangers. If we notice a suspicious device, we should report it to the police immediately. Law enforcement agencies will not only remove the equipment but can also track down the perpetrator.
