When checking into a hotel, unplugging the TV is a smart privacy precaution. TVs, often centrally placed in rooms, can hide tiny, wireless cameras that transmit footage remotely. This risk has grown as hidden cameras have become smaller and harder to detect.
To safeguard your privacy, unplug the TV, turn off the lights, and use your phone’s video mode to scan for unusual light spots or reflections—potential signs of hidden cameras. Additionally, inspect common hiding places like picture frames, vases, and bathroom fixtures.
Taking these simple steps ensures your personal space remains secure during your stay.
