I guess disconnecting the apartment’s wifi could prevent the camera from transmitting anything?
- icebraining 9y agoCould still record locally for later access, though.
- Cenk 9y agoTrue. Any other recommendations? Disconnect the electricity? Scan the network to find any devices that look weird?
- icebraining 9y agoCheap cameras can record to SD cards, so the network doesn't necessarily help. I'd say disconnecting the electricity would probably work, but makes it a bit hard to use the house, no? My suggestion would be to assume you might be being filmed, rather than assume you can avoid it.
- nathan_long 9y ago> assume you might be being filmed If that's the assumption, my response would be to never stay in an AirBnB. What good is a house you're not comfortable changing or showering in, much less having sex?
- icebraining 9y agoSure, if you feel uncomfortable with the possibility of being filmed naked, I think you are better off not staying.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoMight as well up the paranoia level one click and never stay in a hotel, either.
- nathan_long 9y agoMaybe my response was too paranoid. But certainly a well-known hotel chain has more to lose by misbehavior and bad publicity than an individual renting out their house does.
- monort 9y agoUsually hidden cameras are installed in hotels not by owners, but by staff.
- _jal 9y agoThis sort of thing is an arms-race, and if you don't want to spend your life on counter-surveillance tech and opsec, you're not going to have any certainty. Publicize, loudly, cases when someone violates your trust. Because that's what this reduces to; you're trusting whomever you're paying for that room. If they don't deserve that trust, ruin their income stream and they'll stop. Applications of this approach to less-vulnerable violators left as an exercise, etc.
