TL;DR Summary

Airbnb is banning indoor security cameras in listed properties, but hidden cameras can still be disguised as everyday objects. Free apps like Fing can help identify hidden cameras by scanning the property's Wi-Fi network, revealing connected devices. However, these apps are not foolproof and may not detect all hidden cameras. Airbnb's new rules allow external cameras with disclosure, but ban monitoring of indoor spaces and certain outdoor areas. The revised policy takes effect on April 30.
