Hidden dangers: Spy cameras disguised as harmless hangers in hotels

Unassuming hangers, often placed on the doors of cabins or in hotel bathrooms, can serve a dangerous function. Although they look harmless from the outside, they conceal advanced spy technology.

When using public restrooms or renting hotel rooms, we expect privacy. Although it seems we should feel safe in such places, the reality may be different. Many people are unaware that their privacy might be at risk in such places.

Internet users have been warning for a while to closely inspect hangers in restrooms and hotels. These unassuming hooks, which are supposed to be used for hanging clothes, can actually contain hidden spy cameras. These concerns are not unfounded, as such devices are widely available on the market.

At first glance, such a hanger doesn’t raise suspicion. Its function is to hold a coat or handbag, but it can simultaneously record our movements, even during the most intimate moments, such as using the bathroom or changing clothes. Therefore, it’s worth paying attention to certain details.

A spy hanger can be recognised by a distinctive hole in the upper part. This is where a small camera is located, activated by a motion sensor. This camera records everything that happens within its range when it detects someone's presence. Sometimes, such a hanger also has a rectangular flap covering a memory card where recordings are stored.

Although the production and sale of such devices are legal, using them to spy on and record people without their consent, especially in intimate situations, is a crime. The problem is that such cameras can be mounted in an undetectable way.

To avoid potential dangers, it’s worth being vigilant in public places. If we notice a suspicious device, we should report it to the police immediately. Law enforcement agencies will not only remove the equipment but can also track down the perpetrator.
