For pinhole cameras, people have been uncomfortable. In Baidu’s search for the word “pinhole camera”, there are 6,350,000 related terms. In recent years, the position of the pinhole camera has become more and more concealed. From TVs, air conditioners to jacks and bathing bottles, it can be said that it is invincible. As long as it is a place with large traffic, it is the hardest hit area.
According to the news reports, on the afternoon of June 15 this year, Mr. Huang and his girlfriend from the field to Zhengzhou, Henan Province, lived in the Yutai Hotel in Zhengzhou, and found a pinhole camera in the socket below the TV. After the event, but the hotel involved did not care about this, saying that 80% of the stores in Zhengzhou have this situation.
Before this, the depth of the Phoenix network survey showed that the sneak shot has formed a black industrial chain from the purchase of sneak shot equipment to pay to watch, under the high interest, illegal sneak shots are more and more embarrassing. In addition, the current definition of sneak shots in China is unclear, and the difficulty of supervision of relevant departments has increased. It is difficult to curb the development of the black industry from the root.
There is a widely circulated detection method on the Internet, which is to turn off the room light and play it again in complete darkness.Turn on the phone camera function, wrap around, if there is a small red dot, it may be the camera. However, this method has proven to be limited and has little effect on some non-infrared cameras.
Baidu security technical experts found that the mainstream pinhole camera has a commonality in technology: most of the sneak shots are small-sized miniature module cameras, and such cameras generally require remote control. In the location of the sneak shot, the sneak shots usually choose to connect to the hotel’s Wi-Fi network, and then use the software or APP to achieve remote control.
