TL;DR: Through December 8, save 45% on this bug and camera finder with our Cyber Week sale.


Holiday travel often means cozying up in unfamiliar places…ever slept in a small-town motel? But this year’s spooky social media stories might leave you wide awake. If you haven’t heard, some people are putting hidden cameras in Airbnbs and hotel rooms.

Please don’t cancel your plans or bunk with your in-laws because this hidden camera detector can help you sweep and secure the space. With our Cyber Week sale, peace of mind is only $32.97 (reg. $59.99).

Discover ultimate peace of mind while traveling

This gadget is something James Bond would use to sweep a hotel room for bugs. Except now, it’s your turn. It looks scary and intimidating, but it’s simple to use.

Before you even unpack your bags, because you don’t know how long you’ll be staying, sweep the room:

  1. Switch the power on and increase the sensitivity to pick up devices from far away.

  2. Move around the room, getting closer to things like lamps, frames, mirrors, and smoke detectors.

  3. If the bug detector makes any noise or vibrations, lower the sensitivity to narrow down a more precise location.

  4. If there’s no activity, your room or Airbnb is clear.

You’ll probably find nothing, but you’ll sleep better knowing for sure — especially if you plan on devouring an entire chocolate cake and don’t want anyone to know about it.
