#12Video cameras are continually getting better, cheaper, and smaller, and therefore will be installed everywhere.[a] In coming years, if you're in a building or house that is not yours , odds are there will be one or more cameras taking candid videos/photos of you as you go about your daily life. [a] Take a look at the size of the lens on the back of your mobile phone. That's how small high-quality cameras already are…
There's devices and ways to detect hidden cameras. There's a risk to being caught putting hidden cameras. I doubt they'll be everywhere but it is a problem.

#13hmm, seems like the landlord was justified. the client literally lied about having a pet.
Politicians lie. What surveillance are they subjected to in order to prevent and correct their behaviour?

#14There's Irish/EU guidance on domestic CCTV [1], which allows it so long as it doesn't cover any public areas (i.e. the street).
I wonder if that domestic exemption still applies once the property is rented out to someone? I hope not.
And as will all laws, if a landlord feels they can't comply with the laws on data privacy, CCTV and so on – then they should close their business.

Having someone's dog be on a porch for a few hours really doesn't seem like much of a violation. Wild animals do the same all the time.
What if the proprietor has a really bad allergy to animal dander?

A visitor bringing a pet onto the porch, and not into the residence, hardly seems like a violation of the no pet policy.

If I say no pets on my property what suddenly allows a small violation to be acceptable? Go find another place.

#18there's a trick to find hidden cameras in airbnbs: join their wifi network and use nmap to scan for all network devices in your subnet. then cross reference the mac addresses/try to reach the webinterface of the devices. this should catch most webcams.

I propose everyone has a regular wank in every room. That'll scar the peepers more than the renters.
Was it worth installing the CCTV?

#20Do laws prevent 'regular' hotels from doing this?
