Hidden cameras being found in public places is becoming more common

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

There seems to be an influx of stories of hidden cameras being found in doctor’s offices, bathrooms, changing rooms and even beauty salons. All of this is being done for the most part by very sick individuals who are just looking for a thrill. I say for the most part because some are just poorly thought out and executed security plans by companies.

What gets my goat the most is that as long as you can’t make out who the person is on the video, often there are no charges filed. I don’t get this, that is the same as saying it is okay to shoot a gun up in the air in the center of a crowd as long as you aren’t shooting directly at someone. The intention is the same either way.

What they have done is shown these scumbags exactly how to commit this crime without the fear of prosecution. That doesn’t change the fact that even though you can’t see the face, they can still see the private parts they were hoping to get on film. This means your private parts could be on some website for every pervert in the world to view while he pleasures himself. Comforting thought huh?

This issue needs to be dealt with as harshly as any other sex crime and then maybe they can curb this before it gets anymore out of hand. I listed part of a news story below and then under that you’ll find more to read. I added these to show you all that I am not being an alarmist, just stating facts.

Now if you are asking, “what can I do to protect myself”? The answer is you can either get a bug detector to scan for any hidden camera signals or you can also do visual inspections to find them. A lot of whether they are well hidden depends on who put them there. If it is a rogue employee like that guy in the news story below about the Omni Hotel in California, it can often be much harder to find the cameras as they will have time and opportunity to hide them well.

No charges will be filed against an Omni Hotel San Diego employee who resigned after admitting to placing a hidden camera inside a public bathroom at the luxury downtown hotel, police said.

The images captured on the webcam installed by former Omni Hotel employee Richard Bourque were not clear enough to identify the victims.

“Because neither victim was identifiable, the Penal Code section did not apply and the case has been closed, San Diego Police Department spokeswoman Lt. Andra Brown said.

Omni Hotel officials acknowledged the incident Thursday after being approached by investigative reporters earlier this week. …More at Omni Employee Resigns after Hidden Camera Discovery – San Diego 6

Like I said earlier this isn’t something that is a 1 in a million shot of ever happening to you, the odds are much worse and getting worse every year as it gets easier to buy and use hidden cameras. Hell, we sell cameras that are screw hidden cameras. That’s right, a camera small enough to hide in the head of a screw. The only part you need to keep out is the head of the screw which no one would ever notice, the rest can be hidden behind the sheet-rock or just about anything.

Hidden camera detectors are what can help you level the playing field here. Should you have to buy one just to not have to worry about some freak taping you in secret…no you shouldn’t have to but if you want to be sure it doesn’t happen to you…you do have to buy one. Face it, this is a sick world and you need to be on your guard. Not paranoid just cautious.

Check out the Twitter buzz:

Like I said story after story and these are just the ones that are reported and make the news not to mention all the ones swept under the rug.

Stalker Peeping Tom caught by hidden camera

Saturday, June 9th, 2012

In Middletown N.Y at 10 pm every night a dog named Cloey would go nuts and her owners wanted to find out why.

They got  a game camera which is a Hidden Camera that people use outdoors to catch pictures of wildlife that pass in front of the camera triggering the motion detection.

Thinking it was some kind of animal they looked at the pictures and what they saw freaked them out. It seems it caught their scumbag neighbor on video peeking in the windows, presumably at the wife.

They notified police but since the game cameras aren’t generally high resolution the police installed their own “real” outdoor hidden cameras to catch this lowlife in the act.

Like clockwork the next night at 10 pm their neighbor, 33-year-old Edward D’Andrea shows up and starts peeking in windows again.

Turns out he is a married father who actually left his 3 year old girl home alone while he came over to peek in the windows at his neighbor’s wife.

Top that off he is said to be a former school teacher who supposedly was going to start working for the Department of Children Services. Just what we need yet another pervert dealing with children.

Sick people out there so be safe!

Sears employee secretly recorded women in the changing rooms and bathrooms

Saturday, April 21st, 2012

According to authorities a maintenance worker was recording women without their knowledge in the bathrooms and changing rooms in a Sears store in North Hollywood.

They think 27 year old Alejandro Gamiz has been doing this for 3 years! God knows how many victims of this guy there really are all together and what he did with the recordings.

For all we know there are images of many women all over the net as a result of this pervert doing his evil deed for so long without anyone catching on.

What I can’t understand is how this was able to go on for so many years without anyone getting suspicious…it is mind boggling to me.

I mentioned before it is a good idea to carry a Hidden Camera Detector when going into public bathrooms and changing rooms and this is yet another example of why I said that. The Hidden Camera technology to do the recordings is too readily available to not be prepared and take a better safe than sorry approach. Once something is one the net it is there forever.

Stay safe!

Should schools have surveillance cameras in them?

Saturday, April 21st, 2012

The short answer is hell yes! A Surveillance Security Camera is a great deterrent for bad behavior and will stop a lot of bad things from happening on school grounds.

I believe we need to protect our children at school so instead of worrying about something bad happening to them there they are thinking about the subject they are being taught.

This goes for rapes, fights, bullies and drug use. When kids know Security Cameras are in place and can be used against them in a court of law they often will curtail their bad behavior.

People like to debate privacy rights and that makes me laugh. Since when is there privacy in public? You want privacy then be inside a bathroom, changing room, shower or your own damn home. School is public and public equals no privacy other than showers and bathrooms.

It really is that easy. Privacy is afforded to you in your own home and on your own property and that is all. Anywhere you head out in public is subject to video scrutiny.

If we put cameras in all schools we should be able to take back the schools from the thugs and bullies and make it a safer place for our kids to go and learn.

Stay safe out there!

Crook is caught on Hidden Camera

Monday, April 16th, 2012

A homeowner in Rogers County Oklahoma needed to do some remodeling on the bathroom in his home so he hired a local contractor to do the work.

During the remodel the homeowner began to notice pain medication his wife had from surgery both Hydrocodone and Oxycontin were coming up missing and it was obvious who was taking them.

The homeowner was smart and installed a Hidden Camera to be sure he had the evidence before he made any accusations which was smart in this time of litigious people.

He then took aspirin and put them in the medicine bottles and sure enough the thief came in to steal more pills and was caught on camera. Like I am sure you already figured out one of the contractors was stealing the pills.

It goes to show that although we would love to be able to trust it can be better to be safe than sorry.

Hidden Cameras are inexpensive and easy to use these days and more than worth the investment so you can be sure of what is going on when you are not home!

Stay Safe!

Casino accused of recording a women without her knowledge

Saturday, April 14th, 2012

When I first began to read the story i was horrified thinking how could they have done that to this poor woman but then I read on.

Kelle Ryan said that while she was working for Players Club at the Island View Casino Resort in Gulfport Mississippi she and other employees regularly used the office to change their clothes.

According to Ms. Ryan, she was in the office when she noticed a smoke detector that didn’t seem to be working so she checked it out closely and found it was a Smoke Detector Hidden Camera.

At this point she lost it and was escorted off by security. Now normally I would be lambasting this company over this travesty until I re-read the article and noticed something.

This all happened in an OFFICE not a changing room or restroom it was an office in a casino. Anyone with any sense is going to realize that everywhere EXCEPT the bathrooms are being recorded by eyes in the sky..it’s a casino for god’s sake!

Now the only fault I can find is that after the first time they noticed people using an office as a changing room they should have told employees to knock it off and get some class and go to the restroom or changing rooms.

Telling employees that all areas except bathrooms are subject to surveillance is also a good deterrent to bad behavior on company grounds.

So other than the lack of reminding people offices are not changing rooms I don’t think they did anything wrong from the information about this incident that I have seen so far.

It is a good reminder to people …the only place you can truly expect privacy should be on your own property and in changing rooms or restrooms…that’s it. Other than those places always carry yourself as if you are being filmed because you probably are.

Lastly to the casino you need to get better Smoke Detector Hidden Cameras as she should never have noticed it was a camera to begin with had it been one of our models. ;)

Why You Should Use a Hidden Camera Detector

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

With all of the new technologies out in the present day we need to genuinely care about our personal privacy as much as we do our personal safety. Hidden Cameras are to be had in just about everything you can think of all the way down to a tiny little screw. All of this makes it much more difficult to guard against and this is where a Hidden Camera Detector comes in useful.

Hidden Camera Detector technology has advanced over time just like cameras so you can easily guard yourself from having your privacy invaded. This should be something you think about whenever you use a public restroom, changing or locker room since a video of that event could wind up on the internet being viewed by thousands of perverts for years to come.

Hidden cameras can be wired, wireless or even self recording. This means that whichever Hidden Camera Detector you choose needs to be able to detect all three if you want maximum protection.

Wireless cameras are the easiest to detect because of their RF or Radio Frequency. This is a signal that the wireless camera gives off the entire time it is powered on. Your Spy Camera Detector should easily alert you to the presence of the RF signals and then you just need to either leave or if you want proof, narrow down the location. This can be done by the use of the signal strength meter on your Camera Detector. The closer you get to the source, the stronger the signal.

Wired and self recording hidden cameras do not give off RF signals like the wireless cameras so they are a bit tougher to locate. This is where the eyepiece of your Hidden Camera Detector comes into play.

You simply look through the specially made eyepiece and any video camera lenses within a few feet will flash red so you will know exactly where they are located. At that point you can contact the authorities and put a stop to their bad behavior.

Out of the 3 types of hidden cameras, the wired and self recording models are most likely the types of camera you will run into in public settings. Wireless cameras are best suited for situations where you are not able to run a wire and are usually used in private homes.

This is the reason you would be best served by purchasing a Hidden Camera Detector that can handle all 3 types of cameras so you are ensured the maximum protection when out in public.

Stay safe out there!
