Airbnb scandal: customers were spied on using hidden cameras

34-year-old traveler Dougie Hamilton said that he discovered the camera almost immediately. According to him, at that time they were in rented accommodation for only 20 minutes, and he 10 looked at an electronic watch for minutes, which seemed suspicious to him.
“I pulled the charger out of my watch and saw that there was a lithium battery in the back. Then I realized that there was actually a camera inside the watch, ”said the Scot. As the man said, the hidden camera covered the entire living room and bedroom where the bed was. He did not dare to stay in this apartment and reported the incident to the Toronto police.
