S. AND WITH THESE VACATION
RENTALS COMES TO CONCERN SECRET
CAMERAS THAT COULD BE RECORDING
YOU. IT HAPPENS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. SO TODAY WE’RE SHOWING
YOU WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR.
DOWNTOWN DETROIT APARTMENT ON A
MISSION TO FIND SECRET HIDDEN
CAMERAS. THIS WAS THE SCENE
ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE I ARRIVED.
OUR INVESTIGATIVE CREW SET UP
SECRET CAMS IN SECRET SPOTS TEST
TO SEE IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO
SPOT THEM. OOH LOOKS ODD OR
STRANGE, YOU KNOW, JUST TAKE IT
FOR CRIME EXPERT DARNELL
BLACKBURN CAME ALONG WITH ME. HE
KNEW WHERE ALL THE CAMERAS WERE.
BUT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS
LOOKING FOR ALL I KNEW THERE
WERE SIX HIDDEN CAMERAS TO FIND.
I’M THINKING THIS IS SOMETHING
THIS PEN GOT MY ATTENTION RIGHT
AWAY. LOOKS LIKE A WHOLE HERE.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. HE GOT
ONE. THIS SEEMS STRANGE. I KEEP
SEARCHING IN THE KITCHEN AREA,
GRABBING ITEMS OFF THE SHELF.
TRY TO JUMP A BIT TO SEE THAT
TOP SHELF LITTLE DO I KNOW
THERE’S A CAMERA RECORDED ME AS
I PASS BY. I DON’T THINK THERE’S
A CAMERA HERE. NO LUCK FINDING
ANYTHING IN THE LIVING ROOM AREA
. I PUT MY ATTENTION ON THE
UMBRELLA DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A
WHOLE BUT RIGHT BEHIND ME.
SOMETHING RECORDED ME AND I
DON’T EVEN NOTICE ON TO THE
BATHROOM. THIS IS FOR SURE.
SOMETHING LOOK AT THIS WALL
HOOK. I WAS RIGHT. IT IS A
CAMERA AND IT HAS A CLEAR VIEW
OF THE ENTIRE BATHROOM FOR SURE
, THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING IN
HERE. I HAD TO THE BEDROOM
LOOKING FOR ITEMS THAT SEEM OUT
OF PLACE. THIS IS WHAT I WOULD
THINK WOULD BE WEIRD LIKE A FAKE
CLOCK. THIS CLOCK JUST SEEMS
SUSPICIOUS, EVEN THOUGH I DIDN’T
FIND A CAMERA HOLE BECAUSE I
CAN’T SEE ANYTHING IN HERE. I
FEEL LIKE IT’S LOOKING AT ME.
LIKE IF I HAD THIS, I WOULD MOVE
IT. I PUT IT IN THE DRAWER. MY
FEELING ABOUT THIS ONE WAS
RIGHT. GOOD THAT’S VERY GOOD.
AND LOOK. I MEAN, I REALLY TRIED
AND I ONLY FOUND HALF OF THE
HIDDEN CAMERAS WONDERING IF THAT
SMOKE DETECTOR IS SOMETHING.
LET’S TALK ABOUT THE PLACEMENT
OF AN ITEM. SO WHEN YOU’RE
THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS
ODD OR SOMETHING, SOMETHING THAT
STICKS OUT IN THE KITCHEN SHELF
. I MISS THIS CAMERA TUCKED INTO
A FAKE PLANT. YOU WERE HOT,
CLOSED. THE CHARGER AND CLOSER
TO THE GROUND IN THE LIVING ROOM
AREA. I NEVER SUSPECTED THIS
LOOKS NORMAL, VERY NORMAL.
THERE’S ONE MORE THAT I MISSED
THAT. I DIDN’T EVEN LOOK OVER
HERE. SO YOU’RE SAYING THERE’S
SOMETHING OVER HERE? YOU’RE
STAYING SOMEWHERE. YOU OPEN
THOSE DOORS AND TAKE A LOOK AT
SOME THINGS RIGHT HERE. HAD YOU
OPENED THE DOOR, YOU WOULD HAVE
SEEN IT DANGLING IN THE FIRST
PLACE. WOW SO I’M MY OWN. I ONLY
SPOTTED THREE OUT OF THE SIX
HIDDEN CAMS AS YOUR PROCESSING
THIS YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT WHERE
THINGS ARE SOMETHING THAT IS OUT
OF PLACE IN A SPECIFIC AREA, OR
THERE’S SOME THINGS THAT JUST
MAYBE AT A CERTAIN LEVEL WHERE
THEY WANT TO GET A CERTAIN VIEW
, BECAUSE I HAVE TO ADMIT I DO
RENTALS. I MEAN, I RENT WITH MY
FAMILY AND I HAVE NOT DONE A
WALKTHROUGH. WE ALSO TESTED THIS
DEVICE. SO THIS IS A GADGET TO
LOOK FOR HIDDEN CAMERAS. IF YOU
HOLD IT NEAR A HIDDEN CAMERA AND
ALARM IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND AND
IT LIGHTS UP. OKAY SO THAT’S
DETECTING IT. IT SEEMED TO WORK
AT FIRST. BUT THEN AT TIMES THE
DETECTOR DIDN’T NOTICE THE
HIDDEN CAMERA WHILE IT YEAH,
THIS IS CONFUSING ME BECAUSE NOW
IT’S GOING OFF HERE AND I KNOW
THERE’S NO CAMERA. SO I DON’T
KNOW HOW TRUSTWORTHY THIS IS. SO
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SPEND THE
MONEY ON THE DEVICE LIKE THAT,
AND IT’S UNRELIABLE, DARNELL HAS
MORE ADVICE, HE SAYS. YOU CAN
ACTUALLY BRING PAINTER’S TAPE TO
COVER UP LIKE SUSPICIOUS SPACES
OR HOLES ON THE WALLS OR
FURNITURE AND PAINTERS. TAPE
SHOULDN’T RUIN THE PAINT OR
FINISH WHEN YOU REMOVE IT ALSO,
YOU CAN ALSO USE THE LIGHT ON
THE BACK OF YOUR PHONE THERE. IF
YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS
LIKE IT MIGHT BE HIDDEN CAMERA,
YOU CAN SEE THE CAMERA LENS WHEN
YOUR CELL PHONE LIKE ACTUALLY
REFLECTS OFF OF IT. AND WHEN IN
DOUBT, IF IT’S LIKE THAT CLOCK
THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION, TAKE
IT. REMOVE IT. PUT IT IN THE
DRAWER UNTIL YOUR STATE IS OVER
BY THE WAY COMING UP TOMORROW
MORNING AT 6 30 IN THE MORNING.
I’M GOING TO JOIN THE MORNING
TEAM AND SHOW YOU OTHER COMMON
DEVICES THAT ARE USED FOR HIDDEN
CAMERAS THAT YOU MAY NOT BE
AWARE OF. WE’RE GOING TO DIVE A
LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE LAWS
FOR SPECIFIC STATES, ESPECIALLY
MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA, BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF FOLKS GO DOWN
TO FLORIDA AS WELL. YES
CERTAINLY GOOD INFORMATION AND
TOOLS FOR PEOPLE RENTING, BUT
WHAT ARE SOME OF THESE POLICIES
AND REGULATIONS WHEN IT COMES TO
THOSE CAMERAS IN RENTALS, RIGHT?
AND IT’S GOOD TO KNOW THAT AND
CHECK WHAT YOU SIGN AIRBNB AND
DARBOH HAVE CLEAR POLICIES ABOUT
HIDDEN CAMERAS, HIDDEN CAMERAS.
ARE ONLY ALLOWED OUTSIDE OF THE
BUILDINGS AND THOSE COMMON AREAS
NEVER INSIDE RENTAL PROPERTIES,
AT LEAST NOT WITHOUT THE RENTERS
KNOWLEDGE. SO THAT IS QUOTE
ILLEGAL WHEN YOU’RE RENTING
THROUGH THOSE TWO UH, PLACES BUT
YOU DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE AWARE.
I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, I DIDN’T GET
THEM ALL. YEAH I WOULD WRITE. IT
