Over 35,000 Airbnb Reports of Hidden Cameras in the past 10 years — And That’s Just the Ones We Know About

That’s nearly 3,500 reports every year — around 290 every month, and 9 people every single day discovering a hidden camera where they expected privacy.

And that’s just what’s been reported. Experts believe over 80% of cases go completely unnoticed, either because the cameras are expertly hidden or victims never realize they were being watched.

Whether you're staying in an Airbnb, hotel, hostel, or rental apartment — your space might not be as private as you think. The worst part? You won’t know unless you check.

YOUR SAFETY IS WORTH IT

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What exactly does the Guardius Card detect?

    It detects hidden cameras with visible lenses, even if they’re disguised in everyday objects like alarm clocks, smoke detectors, or outlets. It works by reflecting light off camera lenses using a special optical filter.

  • Does it need batteries or charging?

    No batteries, no charging, no app needed. The Guardius Card just needs your phone and a flashlight.

  • How do I use it correctly?

    Dim the lights, turn on your phone’s flashlight, cover the camera with Guardius Card, and slowly scan the room while looking through the lens. Hidden lenses will reflect back as bright red dots.

  • Where should I use the Guardius Card?

    Use it in hotel rooms, Airbnbs, dressing rooms, public restrooms, office spaces, or anywhere you want to check for hidden surveillance.
