I Found a Hidden Camera in My Hotel Room & Decided To Fight Back
How a trip to a bed & breakfast in Vermont with my husband turned into a nightmare that forever changed how we travel.

I've always been a cautious traveler, but I never thought I'd fall victim to such a shocking invasion of privacy. It was supposed to be a relaxing weekend getaway with my husband at a quaint bed and breakfast, but what I discovered in our room sent chills down my spine.
Here's what happened...
As I bent down to unpack my suitcase, I noticed that one of the outlets looked like something was stuck inside it. Upon closer inspection, my heart sank – it was a hidden camera, disguised as a regular outlet. My cheeks immediately got red hot, knowing that someone had been watching our most intimate moments without our knowledge or consent.
Feeling vulnerable and angry
The experience left me feeling totally exposed. I couldn't stop thinking about who might have had access to the footage and how long the camera had been there. It was a nightmare come true, and I knew I had to take action to protect myself and others from falling victim to this kind of privacy breach.

Searching for the culprit
I went to the front desk and demanded to speak with management. At first they were dismissive but then a full investigation was conducted. Apparently, another guest must’ve checked in to the hotel, unscrewed the outlet cover, and replaced it with their own. Then they would book the same room a week or two later and collect their footage.
Hotel management said they’re cracking down on this by doing room inspections using an “X-Series Smart Camera Detector”.
Unfortunately for us, a staff member was "in a rush" and “forgot” to check our room.
I was given a $100 voucher and promised, “it won’t happen again.”
Oh I guarantee it won't...
But no thanks to the hotel staff! This was a wake up call for me. I realized I can no longer put my family’s privacy in other peoples’ hands. The world is getting crazier by the minute, and nobody else is going to protect you from stalkers, creeps, & whatever else is out there.
And so, I ordered my very own hidden camera detector.

The verdict?
It’s honestly a game-changer that we’ll never travel without again. I always thought that camera detectors were some type of gimmick. Turns out, that’s because I only tried those cheap knock-off detectors from Amazon. They were no different than a children’s toy; low range & a battery that would barely last 5 minutes.
Why I love the X-Series.
One word - simplicity. There are no apps to download, and it’s as easy as turning it on, adjusting the sensitivity, and scanning your room (or car). When a threat is detected, the device immediately alerts you with beeps or vibrations.
Keep in mind, you may get some false positives from a wifi router or telephone since it is calibrated to pick up on radio frequencies, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
And if the hidden camera doesn’t transmit any signal, it’s time for the infrared lens finder!

Visual Detection Using Infrared Lens Finder
In addition to its RF detection capabilities, the X-Series also features an infrared lens finder, enabling you to visually spot the reflective surfaces of camera lenses. Offline cameras don’t emit signals, but their lenses light up like a Christmas tree!
