Beware of hidden cameras! — AFP Relaxnews

The Chinese manufacturer Oppo has announced the launch of an application compatible with its latest models, designed to detect the presence of any hidden surveillance cameras in an enclosed space. This could come in handy when renting a home or a vacation property, for example.

It’s on the Weibo social network that Oppo announced the news: “New feature – Hidden camera detection, you can detect hidden cameras with a simple operation with your mobile phone, and help you travel safely.” The idea is to be able to detect the presence of spy cameras hidden in a hotel room, locker room, a bathroom or any other place supposed to be private.
