How to increase your chances of finding a hidden camera
I've been helping a friend update their rental listings online this week (airbnb, homeaway, etc), and after seeing this issue come up, I told him I would specify that there were no cameras in the house.  His response "that make's it sound like I have camera's in the house", but I convinced him honesty was a better policy in this regard.<p>But when we weren't updating the listing, we were installing all kinds of smart home crap. There might not be any camera's, but every room has a google hub / speaker, a thermostat sensor (which looks suspiciously like a camera, particularly after reading this article) & wifi switches.<p>I don't see a need for any of this stuff.  The barely find the 'problems' it solves inconvenient.  And when balanced against the privacy implications, I have no interest in a smart home.<p>But I'm realising now that's going to make many Airbnb's unsuitable.  Adding the hidden camera element... it just becomes impossible.  If you really care about this issue, are you going to book an airbnb, then unplug every smart device, check for camera's, disable them somehow, and then re-connect everything when you leave?
