In recent days, the presence of a needle-hole camera was exposed in the trial dressing room at a shopping mall in henanzhou and shenzhen, causing great social concern. In the face of the wall there are eyes, how can a person be protected from filming? And has the recent rapid increase in the sales of some electric power platforms to protect themselves from hysteria
Public exposure cameras are filming incidents
On the afternoon of 15 june, mr. Huang and his girlfriend entered the yutai hotel in henanzhou, where they found a needle-hole camera hidden in the booth below the room television. The local civilian police arrived at the yutai hotel upon receipt of the report and temporarily checked four other rooms and found the presence of a needle-hole camera。
On the afternoon of the same day, ms. Chung, a citizen of shenzhen, found a needle-hole camera in the trial room when she was testing her clothes in the yuga store at the ico shopping centre in longhua. Following the incident, ms. Yushu and ms. Chung, who were involved in the incident, called the police. At present, the longhua police have intervened。
Indeed, it was not the first time that a camera had been found in a public place. Just recently, the public security department of huangshan city, anhui province, issued an announcement that a needle-hole camera had been found in a hotel room in the area. According to local media reports, these needle-hole cameras were found by several girls in the toilet after they had entered the hotel, and in three of the four rooms in which the girls had entered, they were reported to have found needle-hole cameras hidden in the toilet cover and to have taken a bath in the toilet。
On 1 may this year, a couple of visitors from qingdao, shandong island, found a needle-hole camera inside the router, and a police investigation found that the suspect had been filming since march。
After a series of incidents that have been photographed, a number of netizens are worried about their safety: “in order to be safe, they may need to set up their own tents when travelling to and from the shop.”
It's red on the web
A number of versions of “smuggling” techniques, such as cartoon attachments, lighters, plugs, hooks, smoke alarms, bathing milk, paper towel boxes, toothbrushes, routers, etc., have also been circulated on the internet, following the exposure of the incident. There is also a mobile phone screening method, which involves placing a light on the curtains when entering the room, turning on the camera and scrutinizing the room with a possible camera. If there is light on the screen, it is roughly the location of the needlehole camera. This is a time to turn on the light. The main principle is to equip the needle-hole camera with an infrared sensor, which can be filled with infrared light in a dark environment, so that it can be detected with a mobile phone。
In addition to the above-mentioned techniques, journalists noted that in recent days a device called the protection against poaching of “gods” had quickly become popular online. The equipment looks like a small walkie-talkie from the outside and is usually hand-held at a price of $200-500. Journalists consulted a seller with a monthly sales volume of around 2,000, claiming a frequency range of 30-330 cm, 1 mhz-6. 5ghz。
The consumer, ms. Liu, recently filed a bill stating that “for girls like me who travel frequently, it is necessary to have a piece, at least to sleep more comfortably, in order to prevent it.” turning to the reasons for the purchase, she told the press accordingly。
Is there a "god" that's safe? The reality is not so optimistic. The deputy professor of the institute of information technology and cyber security of the people's university of public security of china and a member of the institute of public security science and technology, duji state, told journalists that the usual microcams can be divided into two types of cable and wireless cameras, for example, wireless cameras, because of the different frequency of the transmission of wireless signals and the different frequency of detection. “... Strictly speaking, technical parameters for detection performance of detection equipment are tested by authoritative testing agencies to confirm their authenticity. Depending on which frequencies this detection device can detect, it can be effective if it happens in this range and frequency range, and it can be ineffective if the detection frequency range does not include the wireless frequency range of the camera currently in use, or is affected by interference with the same or similar frequency launch equipment nearby.” he said。
How can we control a public camera
“most of the stolen videos that have been leaked are in lower-end hotels, or some guesthouses, people's houses, or four or five-star hotels. Most of the existing cases involve the collection of videos for profit (for illegal websites). And there are others who simply have a voyeurism." cybersecurity expert yang cheol analyses from manufacturing to selling the camera equipment, to filming the video, to distribution of the sale, not just a hidden camera, but a complete chain of stolen black interests. And how can consumers protect their rights and interests under such a chain of interests
According to zhong lanan, a lawyer in beijing's law firm, article 14 of the consumer protection act provides that consumers have the right to respect for their human dignity, national customs and customs when purchasing, using goods and receiving services, and to have personal information protected by law。
He points out that the private installation of cameras seriously infringes the right to privacy of consumers and contravenes the provisions of laws such as the consumer protection act, the tort liability act, and the public security administration punishments act; in serious cases, it is suspected of constituting an offence。
Although the hotel and clothing store involved in this case is still under investigation, zhong lanan believes that even if the person who installed the camera did not work at the premises, the premises have a safety obligation, which also includes the obligation to guarantee the physical safety of consumers. If the place of business does not fulfil its obligation of security, it is liable accordingly。
In addition, web platforms have an inescapable responsibility. After the incident came to light, journalists today entered the words “pornography” on the electrician platform, and it is still visible that some vendors are selling stolen equipment, which was banned from production and sale by the state as early as 2014, unless the relevant qualifications were obtained. “so it is incumbent on the web platform to scrutinize the quality of the electrician, relying only on the screening of individual consumers, and it is not realistic that such cases can be reduced only if the responsible parties work together to strengthen supervision.”。
