The Airbnb we love
For people that is asking what the hell is this Airbnb of a thing?
Airbnb is the world biggest accommodation sharing site. In short form.
Airbnb offers you a place called home instead of a hotel and it was founder in August of 2008.
When I came across Airbnd in early 2017 and the kind of large chuck of money that people were making from the platform, I was blown away by the fact out there about making cool cash off Airbnb.
Just the same idea that is guiding Amazon and Uber is the same idea that Airbnb is built on, connecting people to business and also putting people in full control of business environment.
People has been giving up on the income idea source of buying and letting out their properties until Airbnb renting business want haywire and the fact is that there is no going back to the days when letting out your business anywhere in the world through the help of internet was still a myth.
The growth of Airbnb business venture has spread all over the world and the possibility of making money by letting out your house from the comfort of your sofa is now at the click of your mouse.
The issues we hate
It has been proved that anything that has good aspect also has the bad aspect and in another word, anything that has advantage has disadvantage, and that is where the ugliness that is dragging the beauty of Airbnb through the mud garmented from.
They has been a lot of news in recent times about cameras being installed in rented Airbnd properties and it has been leaving bad reviews on Airbnb.
Goggling about the incident of cameras being installed by Airbnb properties owner news is crazy and people that use or wish to use Airbnb are having double mind about using the service or any business that is offering this same kind of business.
The solution we need
Am a strong believer that there is always solution to any problem no matter how ugly it present itself to be.
With the raising issues of hidden cameras in Airbnd rented properties, they has been some of solutions to the ugly issues and I hereby list them in no particular order.
How to discover hidden cameras
- Use RF detector. You can use your detector to scan for hidden cameras by sweeping the detector around and make sure to listen for any cracking or beeping through your detector.
- Paper towel and flash light. If you find yourself in the position where you can’t afford detector, you can be creative by creating a detector by using paper towel and flash light.
Steps
- Make sure that every where is completely dark.
- Hold up paper town to one eye and close the other.
- Turn on your flashlight and keep it @ your closed eye level.
- Check around by keeping your eyes out for any form of glints
- Use WIFI apps to check for smart devices.
It has been proved that smart devices are easy to detect with the use of WIFI apps. If anyone object is to stream your footage online, they will have to connect it to a router in the apartment your staying so that they can be able to stream your footage online and, with your WIFI sniffing app you can detect any modern hidden cameras.
- Check all angels for good coverage. The truth is this that corners inside the house are best for hiding cameras and you making sure you check every corner is a good step in the right direction.
