Another American hiring in November, the house through the service Airbnb, found a hidden camera – this time disguised as motion sensors.
Photos on Twitter published colleague men, Jason Scott, and the post quickly became viral.
As reported by BuzzFeed News, a representative of Airbnb, Jeff Henry, what happened – «very rare». According to Henry, the master of the house has been permanently banned on the site, and the guest is fully refunded of the spent amount of money.
«Cameras in the bedrooms and bathrooms is strictly not allowed, as for the others, the owner should pre-warn them about tenants,» said Jeff Henry.
However, the last time such incidents occur more often.
In «oh, that’s a thing now» news, a colleague of mine thought it odd that there was a single «motion detector» in his AirBNB in the bedroom and voila, it’s an IP camera connected to the web. (He left at 3am, reported, host is suspended, a colleague got a refund.) pic.twitter.com/6KgkDmEZXB

So in October a couple from Indiana, traveling to Florida, found a hidden camera in the bedroom of the apartment rented through Airbnb. The camera was disguised as smoke detector.
In 2015, the German General had sued the company after he found a hidden camera in the bathroom – it happened in California.
Some argue that reported no cameras in the company because I was afraid of, because the owner was known of their personal data. A woman named Erin, who asked not to give his name, told BuzzFeed that at the beginning of this year, rented a house through Airbnb in Houston, Texas.
After she moved out, the landlord blamed her for the fact that Erin «had a party and shut off the cameras». Later, a woman contacted the security service of Airbnb, but she didn’t pictures of cameras, what regrets. Erin, as in the November incident, returned the money for housing.
Airbnb advises its clients to read carefully all the reviews about the owner.
The company said: although the owners must disclose the presence of cameras, Airbnb has nothing to do with the fact that people behave, alas, is not human.
