Rooms with mirrors? Turn out the room lights and try to get a light in behind to see if it shines through the glass. A "two way" mirror looks normal from the light side but can be seen through from the dark side.
As a drill Sgt can confirm, it's amazing the number of humans that i had to teach people not to stare at the ground when walking, and just observe the average person in a random store, they rarely know who is around them or behind them, situational awareness is nearly non existent in today's society
I’ve always taught my kids this and that they can also watch where they are walking to not step in dog mess or potholes by looking ahead of them at the ground which allows you to be more observant about what’s going on around you. To be fair though my kids have all done cadets throughout high school (age 11-16 here) and army training at the school as well as on the actual barracks has been really good for them. I think it should be compulsory for kids - it’s good for them to learn respect, do some exercise, learn ability to survive in the wild and gives them a maturity that kids now seem to not have.
Yes, and then when something happens to them, its all someone else’s fault. Like where were the cops, why wasn’t there security. Well you are your own security so get w the program and get your condition yellow going.

I taught myself a simple technique to clear my head and stay aware: Supermarkets are designed do direct customers' attention along a 'flow.'

When in line, things are usually arranged to direct one's attention to the 'impulse buy racks.' I look up, look past the racks and registers, for the exit or for a window. When I see it, I can bring the 'outside' feeling inside and be focused and alert again, not idly staring at something or nothing. AND I NEVER STARE AT MY PHONE.
Please do one where you're able to find things. Even if you have to rig it yourself do it and show us the things we need to be looking for not just where you suggest looking? There are cameras disguised as screws or even ink pens help us find those sorts of things. Show what some of these bugs or cameras look like

Also what you can do is put your finger on the mirror, in the bathroom and turn out the light and look into the mirror, if it's a two-way mirror you will be able to detect it , you must take paintings off the wall and look at them and look at them carefully because the cameras now are pinhole that means they can see you through a pinhole, also look at clocks that are in the bedroom there's so many ways to sweep the room
@@user-uy8nw9zm6bThe different reflection is the teller. You should have a space in between finger and mirrored finger, should not look like you’re touching your finger. Doesnt have to be your finger either you could use a pen
Jason, why didn't you see the back of the paintings, as you did at the mirror? The cameras are so small and light today that it is possible to glue it behind a painting where the color is black, red or dark. It will difficult to notice by a naked eye and it don't show or feel any bump. Another good suggestion is to carry some bandage to cover suspicious holes.
If you've ever stayed in a room in one of the major Vegas casinos in the early 2000s, you'll notice that the light fixtures in the bathrooms are surrounded by a mirror-like material. Now I don't know if this is true or not, but my friend's uncle had security leadership role at a Vegas casino in the '90s. And according to him, or rather his brother, my friend's dad, the casinos fitted up hotel rooms with cameras. Could be total bs. Although, those weird one-way mirror-like devices I saw made me believe in at least the possibility. I've never seen bizarre, and out of place looking, light fixtures like that anywhere else.
Exactly my thoughts. A pinhole in a black coloured part of the painting. But he’s made a good point- that the people who bug an air bnb aren’t going to have state of the art stuff. Thanks for your comment
And thanks for the bandage idea. A roll of nlack masking tape (not sure what you call it over there in American- im in Australia,- its the tape ypu use around the trim of windows and walls so when you paint them it protects the edges from get the paint on them. It doesn’t have heavy sticky stuff- so that it wont pull paint off the walls when you remove it, and wont leave sticky residue behind. Even less sticky residue than bandages-This will make it perfect for what you suggested, because it wont harm the surfaces in the air bnb when you remove it. I could pack a roll of that . Its very lightweight stuff. And much cheaper than bandages. But the idea came from you so thank you- because you can’t throw a towel over every little spot, because there wont be something to hook an item of clothing/ rag/ towel onto in most spots on the wall/ paintings etc. Excellent idea
You charge $25,000. You're a joke! Scare people into thinking it costs that much because, you, a Yeet Teeber, says so? Might as well be a stranger. TRY HARDER GRIFTER
The first rule of gun safety is to always assume any gun is loaded. The first rule of surveillance safety is to always assume every room you are in is loaded with surveillance tools. When I worked for DIA, I would travel places and bring a roll of aluminum foil, tape and spool of magnet wire with me. The foil not only conforms to different shapes you want covered up, but can act as a Faraday shield as well.
Is there any way you could have someone to put hidden cameras and listening devices in a house secretly from you and then you can do a video to see if you can find them... all of them? That would be a great video.
Because he's a GRIFT. Seriously you're going to believe it's$25k, because HE would charge that!? I have a Bridge to sell you too in CA. He's not worth $50 an hour. Let alone 300+. Put this McD Burger flipper back in his cage.
Jason, you completely overlooked the air vent in the bathroom. That, to me, would seem like an obvious place that should have been checked. I'd have shined a bright flashlight up in there to see if there is anything out of the ordinary in the vent system.
This was something I was worried about because I've seen hundreds of news showing some pervert airbnb owner and even some hotels placing hidden cameras around the rooms. Thank you so much for teaching us all this!
I recall at some night club, the club owners had "mirrors" in the women's bathroom. One time a woman noticed something odd about that mirror behind her on the shitter... she figured out she was being watched via 1 way mirror usually used by L E and retail stores..
At 5:35 we see the bathroom exhaust vent in the ceiling. It looks like the kind that has a wire spring that holds the grill in the vent. Those are easy to pull down & put a bug behind the grill.
But the first thing I do when I go to a hotel room is I sweep it I make sure nobody is in there hiding, and some motels you must look for other ways they can get into your room like a door under the sink, a door under the sink in the kitchen, a door hidden behind the refrigerator, look in the closet for hatches, if you see a hatch and it has a handle on it tied at handle with a rope, and you make it so tight that anyone lifting it is going to make a hell of a lot of noise if they try to open it, usually what I do is I look inside the hatch I'll open it with my gun in hand with flashlight on it, but you have to check all the furniture and everything because I found hotels where there was a little hatch that are human could fit through, while you're sleeping your door on your windows are secure but a person could come through that hatch
I sleep in hotels and motels with six guns and a submachine gun....never know when some weirdo will try to creep into your room and drink or steal all the mini bar to bump up your bill!
Back in the 1960s, my family stayed at a motel off route 66. The manager of the motel crept in at night thinking we were asleep and went through my parent's suitcase. The pervert took my mom's underwear! My stepdad confronted him the next morning. We think he got in from a door by the hot water heater as my sister saw a man go out of it when we entered the room. My parents thought she was imagining it! 🙄😟😮
I noticed a few people mention things in the bathroom. So, if this was already said, please forgive me. I didn't see you check the light fixture in the shower. When looking at it, one side seems to be letting out light around the rim. The other side doesn't. Just looks a little off to me.
00:06 🛡 Part two of Airbnb security focuses on finding hidden cameras. 00:38 🕵 Cheap bug sweeping devices from Amazon aren't effective; professional equipment costs thousands. 01:25 🧐 Think like a criminal to locate hidden cameras; focus on areas like bathrooms and bedrooms. 02:02 🤔 Use the fingertip test to check for anomalies or hidden devices. 03:02 🛁 Hidden cameras may be placed in shower or bathroom areas; remember to check ceilings. 04:10 🕵 Always look up for potential hidden cameras, as humans tend to overlook higher areas. 04:52 🔍 Conduct thorough checks in the bedroom, including TVs, pictures, and outlets. 07:33 🛏 If uncomfortable, cover suspicious areas with blankets or sheets; it takes seconds. 08:28 🧐 Take a few seconds to glance around, especially in master bedrooms and bathrooms, to detect hidden cameras. 08:50 🤓 Hidden cameras in Airbnbs are likely poorly concealed; thorough observation increases chances of detection.
Make them sign a document when you check in that says, if you find any device you’re immediately reporting to police and sue them and make it public. Look them in the eyes and see what’s happening. You got the answer immediately…
There are pinholes and strange smoke detectors and clocks in every hotel I have stayed at. I plug the pinholes with toothpaste and cover strange electronics with tape. Don't forget the worn spots in the mirrors either. As you are doing all the searching, make sure you are looking for signs of bedbugs and uncleanliness that the cleaning staff misses.
One of my friends is somewhat paranoid about this stuff so she bought one of those cheap 'scanners'. I was tempted to tell her that it's false security, but quickly realized that it's better to just let her feel secure because she really has nothing important to worry about.
You'd be surprised. I go back and forth with "am I being stalked? I'm not being stalked. Oh look I found a script written about myself by the stalker on my laptop.... Ok then"
Hello Jason I can fix everything wrong with your King Ranch, I’ve been a mechanic most of my life and I’ll give it a good home. Thanks for some more valuable information.
Found some in an airbnb few years ago: one right under the tv screen in the bedroom and one in bathroom. I used ladies daily pads to cover them: they stick easily. Of course the nice room service has been sent to take them away and I had to stick the pads again. Have also a portable door alarm and a portable blockage system for the night.
Even in a hotel, we should report the cameras to the police to save the next person from being spied on in the same hotel or location. Panty liners were a good idea to cover the cameras! Thank you!
Thanks for the good advice. It makes perfect sense. Cheap stuff is cheap for a reason. Besides, even cheap detectors are too complicated for average users. I know this from personal experience. As to the fee you charge for doing a sweep, it is reasonable. The equipment alone is very expensive and your expertise is even more valuable than the equipment itself. It reminds me of a mining story from the old west. A wheel that ran the water pump for the mine was acting up. So the mining company asked a very experienced Cornish mining engineer to fix the problem. They did. The engineer made it look easy. When the mining company asked what the charge was, it was a good sum of money. The mining engineer reminded the mining company that they had the use of his experience. The mining company then gladly paid the bill.
I have an inexpensive flashlight that has the option of a red LED for use at night (to avoid night blindness). If I sweep a room for cameras I use that light. Any lens will reflect the red light back and be easier to spot.
I bought 2 different “sniffers” on TEMU and they both actually work. They pick up RF and can pin point signals. The red light lens detector option works well too.
Also, I would check the exhaust fan cover, and behind it with a flashlight, also there are many small clocks, or small figurines with built in cameras.
I've been watching your videos and have been amazed at the amount of information and things that someone like myself would never know. Thanks Mr Hanson and a Blessed and happy New Year.
This is great advice Jason I'll be staying at an Airbnb here in south east Asia so it's a good idea to just look around everywhere especially the resrooms and bedrooms no matter where you are staying in the world. I'll definitley do this once I arrive there. Thank you happy holidays
I have heard that you can turn off the lights and then flashlight through the vent. If you see a reflection or red behind the lens that would be an indicator. with 2 way mirrors it depends how you see it when you touch the mirror how you see the reflection of your fingertip or object. Ive never tried this but only on videos about this. So I am not sure if this is true or not.
I had been waiting for this video for a long time! This technique of finding hidden cameras applies to all hotel rooms. Thank you so much, Jason! You are a real gem.
I always question the owner about their levels of security that they have in place for the property in general and that usually gives me an idea of what I'm actually dealing with along with your general rules for creppy and or basic security Be well my friend and Stay Frosty 👍
Anytime I've stayed anywhere I always do the fingertip test on the mirrors. I don't remember where I read about it, but if you touch a mirror and there isn't a gap between your finger tip and the reflection, it's a two way mirror.
Front surface mirrors are not always two way mirrors but two way mirrors are always front surface mirrors. Front surface mirrors are definitely worth further investigation.
Another thing you can do is to off the lights, be in complete darkness, and look around in the darkness. Try to see if there is any blinking or steady lights coming out from anywhere...and check what is it. Also, take a radio close to certain items and see if the radio jams and makes some noise.
This applies to hotels, motels, etc as well. Basically, any place that's not yours. Not to be paranoid, but even when staying with family it might be good to periodically check your designated sleeping area and toilet/shower facility. Your adult sister, aunt, or in-laws are probably trustworthy, but there may be an over-sexed teenager in the picture somewhere, with a phone or tablet full of hard-core p0rn, and who has the secret hots for your wife, making periodic visits to your bedroom while you're out or downstairs eating the Christmas turkey, in order to install or check whatever cheap spy stuff he could score on Amazon the day before. Yes. This is what our society has been reduced to. Don't be paranoid. But stay safe. Cheers.
"NOT to be paranoid"?! SMH What DO you call it then?! 🤣🤣🤣 This is what YOU are actively and willingly assisting your 'society' to degenerate to. Apparently you can't even recognise that this video is designed and intended to play on your paranoia and, thereby, increase business for the person presenting it. How gullible are Americans?! SMH
My sister once asked me to watch her house while she was on vacation. I kept getting calls from her, hey! I saw you talking to someone at the door who was it? Of course, pizza delivery. I dropped my keys in the grass at night & same thing. Hey! I saw you looking around with a flash light what's going on? Next time she ask me to house sit, never again!
@@bobbystereo936 I hope you didn't get up to anything 'weird' while there. Should we look for the video?! 🤔🤣 Did you never think of just not answering when your sister called?! SMH
I used to be so paranoid bout cameras in hotel rooms. I used to check every thing including vents. I never found so I stopped. I recently stayed in Montreal and this vid made me paranoid again.
He is demonstrating how to search, he is not actually searching otherwise this would be a 60 minute video and most people wouldn’t watch it. I wouldn’t have watched it if it had been 30 minutes, and a video of a real search would be absolutely boring.
I usually just pull the pictures off the wall and check the back quick, most of those canvas prints are incredibly thin fabric and it would be easy to spot.
How could I be so gullible I haven't thought about it for a second,yet I had that gut feeling when I was in a Airbnb apartment in Montreal that I was watched.
LOL I was fixing to say you missed the air vent in the Bathroom after paying special note to Look Up - then saw your pinned message. Nice recovery! Great vid
i so appreciate others who are in the business help others who are not. thank yor for your tips. 2 questions: that first light w/the grass underneath it... imho, that would have been a great hiding place...the grass would cover the lense; 2nd question... is what about those ventilator vents....some are on the sides some on the ceiling... thoughts? thank you.
One thing that I'd heard of recently is to also run the water in the shower for a moment and look for anything odd with the flow. There's some cheap, waterproof cameras out there now and it pops up from time to time in the news about someone hiding one inside the shower head.
Good Morning Jason. I really appreciate you giving tips on hidden cameras at the VRBO. As a woman I am concerned about this. So thank you! I would LOVE to win your beautiful truck! I would feel safer in your vehicle than mine. ❤❤
@3:35 (edited the time stamp) your wrong. as "human beings" we have been almost programmed to look towards the sky, but, you were right earlier when you said that we're all focused on our handhelds
1:08 25000 dollars for the day, this is the problem with the world greed! you say the equipment is expensive, after 5 visits your equipment is paid for.
The cops in my hometown used to put a piece of black tape on the tail lights of cars parked in the car park at a local bar. When they saw that car later they would pull them over for DUI. They would wait till the end of their shift, so they could get overtime.
Yes but, as he's eager to point out, these days we usually walk around with our heads down so we should be grateful for his tips about lifting our head and opening our eyes.
@@happysappy21 well, I simply don't agree with what you say he's eager to point out, or that we should be grateful for his tips about lifting our head and opening our eyes. Again, you can agree if that's what you observe in your life, but it's not necessarily part of mine
@@rodnyg7952 It's my bad. I was being sarcastic but it wasn't obvious. "The eager to point out" line meant he was keen to use a strawman by claiming people walk around without looking; thus justifying this video telling us to look up, and for which we should be grateful. I should've put "/s" at the end.
That minisplit a/c above the bed , looking up into its discharge grill might not be a bad idea as well, its ideally located at an angle from above the bed.
Here are a few other places you can always check:
Air vents
Fans
Mirrors
Smoke detectors
Phone Plugins (that were “accidentally” left by previous guests)
Toys
Decor
The back of a fridge
Toilet seats
And the list continues.
There are unlimited places that can be checked in a full security sweep. These are just a few.
Stay vigilant and God bless. 🇺🇸
Excellent 🙂👍
~~God Bless~~
You get miniature cameras inset in Phillips screwheads nowadays
How to disarm a one that records only? Is there a device i can buy to find them?
Rooms with mirrors? Turn out the room lights and try to get a light in behind to see if it shines through the glass. A "two way" mirror looks normal from the light side but can be seen through from the dark side.
Also, keep an eye on any fly or mosquito that is behaving abnormally... you never know 🤪

The bad news is, I have to come back another day with my equipment. $50k
😭
It's too bad the crime victims can't get affordable help.
From what i've read debugging should cost around 6500 to 9500 which is still a bit pricey but it's sure not 25 grand pricey.
@@livereatingjohnson8231 correct. 5k to 10k can be expected, depending on size of space and threat level.
He explained the technology he uses runs like 10k etc for one piece of technology that can be trusted
Also what you can do is put your finger on the mirror, in the bathroom and turn out the light and look into the mirror, if it's a two-way mirror you will be able to detect it , you must take paintings off the wall and look at them and look at them carefully because the cameras now are pinhole that means they can see you through a pinhole, also look at clocks that are in the bedroom there's so many ways to sweep the room
@@user-uy8nw9zm6bThe different reflection is the teller. You should have a space in between finger and mirrored finger, should not look like you’re touching your finger. Doesnt have to be your finger either you could use a pen
Jason, why didn't you see the back of the paintings, as you did at the mirror? The cameras are so small and light today that it is possible to glue it behind a painting where the color is black, red or dark. It will difficult to notice by a naked eye and it don't show or feel any bump. Another good suggestion is to carry some bandage to cover suspicious holes.
If you've ever stayed in a room in one of the major Vegas casinos in the early 2000s, you'll notice that the light fixtures in the bathrooms are surrounded by a mirror-like material. Now I don't know if this is true or not, but my friend's uncle had security leadership role at a Vegas casino in the '90s. And according to him, or rather his brother, my friend's dad, the casinos fitted up hotel rooms with cameras. Could be total bs. Although, those weird one-way mirror-like devices I saw made me believe in at least the possibility. I've never seen bizarre, and out of place looking, light fixtures like that anywhere else.
Exactly my thoughts. A pinhole in a black coloured part of the painting. But he’s made a good point- that the people who bug an air bnb aren’t going to have state of the art stuff. Thanks for your comment
And thanks for the bandage idea. A roll of nlack masking tape (not sure what you call it over there in American- im in Australia,- its the tape ypu use around the trim of windows and walls so when you paint them it protects the edges from get the paint on them. It doesn’t have heavy sticky stuff- so that it wont pull paint off the walls when you remove it, and wont leave sticky residue behind. Even less sticky residue than bandages-This will make it perfect for what you suggested, because it wont harm the surfaces in the air bnb when you remove it. I could pack a roll of that . Its very lightweight stuff. And much cheaper than bandages. But the idea came from you so thank you- because you can’t throw a towel over every little spot, because there wont be something to hook an item of clothing/ rag/ towel onto in most spots on the wall/ paintings etc. Excellent idea
You charge $25,000. You're a joke! Scare people into thinking it costs that much because, you, a Yeet Teeber, says so? Might as well be a stranger. TRY HARDER GRIFTER
This guy is a joke , so much he missed ,
The first rule of gun safety is to always assume any gun is loaded.
The first rule of surveillance safety is to always assume every room you are in is loaded with surveillance tools.
When I worked for DIA, I would travel places and bring a roll of aluminum foil, tape and spool of magnet wire with me.
The foil not only conforms to different shapes you want covered up, but can act as a Faraday shield as well.
Thank You, I will do that. But will still use my glock on my on-site Mgr asap
So, you covered your privates in silver foil while you where having a shower, its a funny world we live in.
Is there any way you could have someone to put hidden cameras and listening devices in a house secretly from you and then you can do a video to see if you can find them... all of them? That would be a great video.
And one we'll never see, lolol
That would be awesome to watch the hunt!
Agree. I was thinking maybe they would have hidden one in this Airbnb for this video.
A video with zero value, It only tell us the obvious ... There are cameras in RB&B's !
If you've checked and still feel creeped out then bring a block of Post It notes to put over suspicious areas like outlets, etc.
If you still feel creeper, LEAVE
You didn't check the overhead fan in the bathroom. Also were there overhead HVac vents? Those are places I would check as well.
And the ceiling fan in the bedroom.
Cameras under the sink...
I think he's a poser.
Because he's a GRIFT. Seriously you're going to believe it's$25k, because HE would charge that!? I have a Bridge to sell you too in CA. He's not worth $50 an hour. Let alone 300+. Put this McD Burger flipper back in his cage.
@@vapormissileagreed. Missed A LOT.
Jason, smoke detectors usually have a light in them. What do you look for in them to see if there is a hidden cam? Thanks
They sell smoke detectors already with hidden cams inside! You’d have to take it down and open it to see. It would be hard to tell from the outside
I would cover up everything, all clocks, smoke detectors, unused outlets etc..
Jason, you completely overlooked the air vent in the bathroom. That, to me, would seem like an obvious place that should have been checked. I'd have shined a bright flashlight up in there to see if there is anything out of the ordinary in the vent system.
Exactly. I don't think if i had the money I'd pay him 25,000 to look over my property because he doesn't use his head. Just expensive equipment.
@@MrFantasylover1It was only one video...Just because he didn't mention 1 or 2 things doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's doing.
@@TexasMonica It's really a poor video. Nothing that isn't common sense. In fact he missed some common sense places.
This was something I was worried about because I've seen hundreds of news showing some pervert airbnb owner and even some hotels placing hidden cameras around the rooms.
Thank you so much for teaching us all this!
I recall at some night club, the club owners had "mirrors" in the women's bathroom. One time a woman noticed something odd about that mirror behind her on the shitter... she figured out she was being watched via 1 way mirror usually used by L E and retail stores..
I can't imagine who in the right mind would pay you $25,000 to check for cameras! One days work, $25,000!
I know, right? Takes me 16 months to earn that much money
OMG, glad I'm not the only one to catch his 25 grand BS. I generally like his material but he is a BS artist for sure.
Guy is delusional, thinks his intelligence and knowledge is above a CIA agent yet he misses so many spots in this video..
That is a bunch of BS .
Several entities would pay and much more. Putin, the Biden and Clinton families, Planned Parenthood and a host of all their allies
At 5:35 we see the bathroom exhaust vent in the ceiling.
It looks like the kind that has a wire spring that holds the grill in the vent.
Those are easy to pull down & put a bug behind the grill.
But the first thing I do when I go to a hotel room is I sweep it I make sure nobody is in there hiding, and some motels you must look for other ways they can get into your room like a door under the sink, a door under the sink in the kitchen, a door hidden behind the refrigerator, look in the closet for hatches, if you see a hatch and it has a handle on it tied at handle with a rope, and you make it so tight that anyone lifting it is going to make a hell of a lot of noise if they try to open it, usually what I do is I look inside the hatch I'll open it with my gun in hand with flashlight on it, but you have to check all the furniture and everything because I found hotels where there was a little hatch that are human could fit through, while you're sleeping your door on your windows are secure but a person could come through that hatch
I sleep in hotels and motels with six guns and a submachine gun....never know when some weirdo will try to creep into your room and drink or steal all the mini bar to bump up your bill!
I show my family this commentand say, see I am not as extreme as you think! Thanks 😅
Back in the 1960s, my family stayed at a motel off route 66. The manager of the motel crept in at night thinking we were asleep and went through my parent's suitcase. The pervert took my mom's underwear! My stepdad confronted him the next morning. We think he got in from a door by the hot water heater as my sister saw a man go out of it when we entered the room. My parents thought she was imagining it! 🙄😟😮
I noticed a few people mention things in the bathroom. So, if this was already said, please forgive me. I didn't see you check the light fixture in the shower. When looking at it, one side seems to be letting out light around the rim. The other side doesn't. Just looks a little off to me.
00:06 🛡 Part two of Airbnb security focuses on finding hidden cameras.
00:38 🕵 Cheap bug sweeping devices from Amazon aren't effective; professional equipment costs thousands.
01:25 🧐 Think like a criminal to locate hidden cameras; focus on areas like bathrooms and bedrooms.
02:02 🤔 Use the fingertip test to check for anomalies or hidden devices.
03:02 🛁 Hidden cameras may be placed in shower or bathroom areas; remember to check ceilings.
04:10 🕵 Always look up for potential hidden cameras, as humans tend to overlook higher areas.
04:52 🔍 Conduct thorough checks in the bedroom, including TVs, pictures, and outlets.
07:33 🛏 If uncomfortable, cover suspicious areas with blankets or sheets; it takes seconds.
08:28 🧐 Take a few seconds to glance around, especially in master bedrooms and bathrooms, to detect hidden cameras.
08:50 🤓 Hidden cameras in Airbnbs are likely poorly concealed; thorough observation increases chances of detection.
Make them sign a document when you check in that says, if you find any device you’re immediately reporting to police and sue them and make it public. Look them in the eyes and see what’s happening. You got the answer immediately…
With many Air B&Bs, all the documents are online, so one doesn't get an opportunity to look the owner/landlord in the eye.
Is this spionage so common ? If nobody ever finds anything, probably there isn't anything.
so... simple technique to find hidden cameras is basically just to... look for hidden cameras
brilliant 10/10
There are pinholes and strange smoke detectors and clocks in every hotel I have stayed at. I plug the pinholes with toothpaste and cover strange electronics with tape. Don't forget the worn spots in the mirrors either. As you are doing all the searching, make sure you are looking for signs of bedbugs and uncleanliness that the cleaning staff misses.
Thanks!
That's actually destruction of property, what you are doing.
@@holger_p Neither the law books nor the dictionaries or law enforcement define what I do as destruction of property.
Everyone should always be aware when in strange places. Great reminder and pointers for all, which is really what you were doing, Jason. Thanks!
2 way Mirrors, pictures and frames, artwork, statues, air vents, toys, stuffed animals.
One of my friends is somewhat paranoid about this stuff so she bought one of those cheap 'scanners'. I was tempted to tell her that it's false security, but quickly realized that it's better to just let her feel secure because she really has nothing important to worry about.
You'd be surprised. I go back and forth with "am I being stalked? I'm not being stalked. Oh look I found a script written about myself by the stalker on my laptop.... Ok then"
@@OZMus oh wow! Call the police, for sure.
I think those scanners can work by just making you more aware and looking
making her feel more secure with trash scanner isn't helpful. Making her really smart is.
@@shambalaninja3086 Quite the opposite, they instill a false sense of security causing one not to look for recording devices.
*Jason Hanson* Great tips, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. GOD Bless.
Hello Jason
I can fix everything wrong with your King Ranch, I’ve been a mechanic most of my life and I’ll give it a good home.
Thanks for some more valuable information.
Does not hurt to try 🎉good luck! I'm not a mechanic
Your channel has become one of my favorites. Post whatever you want. It has a high probability of being not only interesting but useful
I appreciate that! Thank you John!
Found some in an airbnb few years ago: one right under the tv screen in the bedroom and one in bathroom. I used ladies daily pads to cover them: they stick easily. Of course the nice room service has been sent to take them away and I had to stick the pads again. Have also a portable door alarm and a portable blockage system for the night.
What great ideas to have portable blockers and alarms for the night! Thankyou
Where please may we find : "...a portable door alarm and a portable blockage system for the night..." ?
@@helena20000 Hi Ankh! I’m in Australia and I ordered those through Temu app from China. Plenty of nice Self protection gadgets. And cheap
Even in a hotel, we should report the cameras to the police to save the next person from being spied on in the same hotel or location. Panty liners were a good idea to cover the cameras! Thank you!
@@helena20000 From China. App is called Temu
What a sad world!!! After this I'm thinking of just staying home!!
Thanks for the good advice. It makes perfect sense. Cheap stuff is cheap for a reason. Besides, even cheap detectors are too complicated for average users. I know this from personal experience.
As to the fee you charge for doing a sweep, it is reasonable. The equipment alone is very expensive and your expertise is even more valuable than the equipment itself.
It reminds me of a mining story from the old west. A wheel that ran the water pump for the mine was acting up. So the mining company asked a very experienced Cornish mining engineer to fix the problem. They did. The engineer made it look easy.
When the mining company asked what the charge was, it was a good sum of money. The mining engineer reminded the mining company that they had the use of his experience. The mining company then gladly paid the bill.
Good advice. I always do many of the things you are talking about. Same for some hotels and even rental homes with longer-term leases.
I have an inexpensive flashlight that has the option of a red LED for use at night (to avoid night blindness). If I sweep a room for cameras I use that light. Any lens will reflect the red light back and be easier to spot.
I don't always comment but thanks for all your helpful tips and videos! God bless you and yours! Happy holidays and stay safe!
I bought 2 different “sniffers” on TEMU and they both actually work. They pick up RF and can pin point signals. The red light lens detector option works well too.
So you can't find battery based recorders, without signals and red light ?
All your videos are very informative and beneficial, except this one. Keep up the great work.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
Also, I would check the exhaust fan cover, and behind it with a flashlight, also there are many small clocks, or small figurines with built in cameras.
Cameras in outlet and light switch covers and in showerheads are very common
Mr. H. Thanks again for practical advice for the common person and who is on a budget. Your material is useful for any person.
Happy to hear that Paul! God bless you and your family!
I've been watching your videos and have been amazed at the amount of information and things that someone like myself would never know. Thanks Mr Hanson and a Blessed and happy New Year.
Wow, thank you!
Since I read your book I'm constantly reminding myself about situational awareness.
This is great advice Jason I'll be staying at an Airbnb here in south east Asia so it's a good idea to just look around everywhere especially the resrooms and bedrooms no matter where you are staying in the world. I'll definitley do this once I arrive there. Thank you happy holidays
One guy in Bangkok had a reel of the testicle regions of previous guests.
you didn't check the vent in the ceiling in the bathroom. and what about 2way mirrors?
I have heard that you can turn off the lights and then flashlight through the vent. If you see a reflection or red behind the lens that would be an indicator. with 2 way mirrors it depends how you see it when you touch the mirror how you see the reflection of your fingertip or object. Ive never tried this but only on videos about this. So I am not sure if this is true or not.
5:36 I would have thought ex-CIA would have checked the air exhaust vent. Its very easy to run wires through internal vent piping.
I had been waiting for this video for a long time! This technique of finding hidden cameras applies to all hotel rooms. Thank you so much, Jason! You are a real gem.
You've been worried for a long time that people are watching you take a dump?
I always question the owner about their levels of security that they have in place for the property in general and that usually gives me an idea of what I'm actually dealing with along with your general rules for creppy and or basic security Be well my friend and Stay Frosty 👍
Anytime I've stayed anywhere I always do the fingertip test on the mirrors. I don't remember where I read about it, but if you touch a mirror and there isn't a gap between your finger tip and the reflection, it's a two way mirror.
Front surface mirrors are not always two way mirrors but two way mirrors are always front surface mirrors. Front surface mirrors are definitely worth further investigation.
Another thing you can do is to off the lights, be in complete darkness, and look around in the darkness.
Try to see if there is any blinking or steady lights coming out from anywhere...and check what is it.
Also, take a radio close to certain items and see if the radio jams and makes some noise.

Survive like a spy 🕵️♂️ 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much! Stay safe and God bless!
This applies to hotels, motels, etc as well. Basically, any place that's not yours. Not to be paranoid, but even when staying with family it might be good to periodically check your designated sleeping area and toilet/shower facility. Your adult sister, aunt, or in-laws are probably trustworthy, but there may be an over-sexed teenager in the picture somewhere, with a phone or tablet full of hard-core p0rn, and who has the secret hots for your wife, making periodic visits to your bedroom while you're out or downstairs eating the Christmas turkey, in order to install or check whatever cheap spy stuff he could score on Amazon the day before. Yes. This is what our society has been reduced to. Don't be paranoid. But stay safe. Cheers.
"NOT to be paranoid"?! SMH
What DO you call it then?! 🤣🤣🤣
This is what YOU are actively and willingly assisting your 'society' to degenerate to.
Apparently you can't even recognise that this video is designed and intended to play on your paranoia and, thereby, increase business for the person presenting it.
How gullible are Americans?! SMH
My sister once asked me to watch her house while she was on vacation. I kept getting calls from her, hey! I saw you talking to someone at the door who was it? Of course, pizza delivery. I dropped my keys in the grass at night & same thing. Hey! I saw you looking around with a flash light what's going on? Next time she ask me to house sit, never again!
@@bobbystereo936
I hope you didn't get up to anything 'weird' while there.
Should we look for the video?! 🤔🤣
Did you never think of just not answering when your sister called?! SMH
Try secret hots for your husband. Women online these days are the most over-sexed/filthy and exposing themselves.
@@trueaussie9230 If she calls it might be urgent so I answered. Thank god I'm an introvert so no loud parties,orgy's or creeps that wouldn't leave.
I used to be so paranoid bout cameras in hotel rooms. I used to check every thing including vents. I never found so I stopped. I recently stayed in Montreal and this vid made me paranoid again.
Security expert completely ignored the ill fitting light fixture in the top of the shower with the crooked mud ring.
And he charges $25K to come out and "do a sweep" 😂😂😂
He is demonstrating how to search, he is not actually searching otherwise this would be a 60 minute video and most people wouldn’t watch it. I wouldn’t have watched it if it had been 30 minutes, and a video of a real search would be absolutely boring.
I usually just pull the pictures off the wall and check the back quick, most of those canvas prints are incredibly thin fabric and it would be easy to spot.
The fingerip test.. also works great for finding free bubblegum!
..
Or bogeys
How could I be so gullible I haven't thought about it for a second,yet I had that gut feeling when I was in a Airbnb apartment in Montreal that I was watched.
Sir, thank you for sharing. You’re awesome God, bless you and your family.
Thank you! God bless you and your family too!
LOL I was fixing to say you missed the air vent in the Bathroom after paying special note to Look Up - then saw your pinned message. Nice recovery! Great vid
Here's a topic to cover: great dinner party, I'm *stuffed* . . . how that comfy, regenerative, recuperative feeling reduces situational awareness.
Happy New Year! God bless and thanks for you contribution. On to a great 2024! And beyond.
Happy new year! God bless you and your family too!
I’m glad you showed me that this is an actual issue, ht I’d like to see what one actually looks like.
i so appreciate others who are in the business help others who are not. thank yor for your tips. 2 questions: that first light w/the grass underneath it... imho, that would have been a great hiding place...the grass would cover the lense; 2nd question... is what about those ventilator vents....some are on the sides some on the ceiling... thoughts? thank you.
The only crime here is that he charges 25K a day and that he has 500K subs.
Truth. Best comment.
One thing that I'd heard of recently is to also run the water in the shower for a moment and look for anything odd with the flow.
There's some cheap, waterproof cameras out there now and it pops up from time to time in the news about someone hiding one inside the shower head.
My girlfriend and I put on a show hoping to see ourselves on RUclips! 😂
Having an icon like Finch associated with 4ra makes every event feel premium and top notch
What about a smoke alarm over the bed?
Really great info. Thanx Jason for your knowledge. God bless you and your Family. Happy New year.
Happy new year! Thank you for watching!
Captain obvious.
$25,000 a day for his “expertise” 😂🤣

i hate the way technology is advancing so fast 💀 getting into the wrong hands first
Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year too!
why dont you take each picture down in bath/bedroom and look for cameras behind them, rather than just feeling the edges? Thanks for the great tips.
Good Morning Jason. I really appreciate you giving tips on hidden cameras at the VRBO. As a woman I am concerned about this. So thank you!

@3:35 (edited the time stamp) your wrong. as "human beings" we have been almost programmed to look towards the sky, but, you were right earlier when you said that we're all focused on our handhelds
I'd like to see a video where you've set up cameras and listening devices, and then uncover them.
4ra with Finch as ambassador is just next level always ensures the best vibe at events
Jason.. do this but have cameras and mics planted to show what they look like and where they get placed.

Always productive information.
Thank you.
Glad you liked it! Thank you too!
What should I do if I find one or more? Call the police? Confront the owner/operator? Something like that should be addressed.
Why would you contact the owner? They will most likely try their best to delete all evidence and cover it up. Call the police first before anything
The cops in my hometown used to put a piece of black tape on the tail lights of cars parked in the car park at a local bar. When they saw that car later they would pull them over for DUI. They would wait till the end of their shift, so they could get overtime.
Wow . He did the video I requested last video. Awesome. He listens to viewers 👏
so this guy thought it informative to make a vid explaining how to use our eyes and fingers
Yes but, as he's eager to point out, these days we usually walk around with our heads down so we should be grateful for his tips about lifting our head and opening our eyes.
@@happysappy21 more likely you usually walk around with your head down, & needed this vid to point that out to you. I don't see any of that in my life
@@rodnyg7952 I was agreeing with your first comment
@@happysappy21 well, I simply don't agree with what you say he's eager to point out, or that we should be grateful for his tips about lifting our head and opening our eyes. Again, you can agree if that's what you observe in your life, but it's not necessarily part of mine
@@rodnyg7952 It's my bad. I was being sarcastic but it wasn't obvious. "The eager to point out" line meant he was keen to use a strawman by claiming people walk around without looking; thus justifying this video telling us to look up, and for which we should be grateful. I should've put "/s" at the end.
I like that sign, next to the front door. That sign sure is convenient, saves lots of time.
That minisplit a/c above the bed , looking up into its discharge grill might not be a bad idea as well, its ideally located at an angle from above the bed.
Jason thanks for your channel Sr 🙏
I want my time back.
