If a guest were to try this at my Airbnb, I have in my house rules that guests may not disable security devices and an onsite inspection will be performed if they do. And that's exactly the type of guest I would immediately terminate their stay.
- nradov 5y agoThis is exactly why Airbnb should be banned everywhere.
- bradlys 5y agoDo you think hotels don't have cameras? I'm confused.
- nradov 5y agoHidden surveillance cameras inside hotel rooms are exceedingly rare. There have been a few isolated incidents where perverted creepy employees installed hidden cameras in rooms but it's not legal or tolerated in the legitimate hotel industry. There are certainly cameras in hotel public areas where no one has a reasonable expectation of privacy.
- mikeyouse 5y agoAnd also hotel employees and third party security companies are accountable to the hotels they work for/contract with and often have a handful of cameras watching dozens or hundreds of guests from reasonable distances. Many AirBnBs have 5+ exterior cameras for the single family staying there and who knows who's watching the videos or what they're doing with them. Not to "think of the children" this too much, but there's no way I would take my family to an AirBnB with a pool if there were any cameras pointed in its general direction.
- bradlys 5y ago> There are certainly cameras in hotel public areas where no one has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Right and the article clearly states that all the cameras they had trouble with were outside in public areas. I don't think I've ever been in an airbnb that had cameras inside the house.
