Many salon clients enjoy using the services of their tanning beds. Many upscale tanning salons are available at reasonable prices, and the simplicity and convenience of these locations are very popular. It is often impossible (given the climate) or cumbersome (dealing with tanning lamps or instant tanners) to tan outdoors or at home, so a salon is most commonly used for those who wish to maintain their tan year-round.
Some questions have arisen from news stories about the security and privacy of these tanning salons. Cases have been reported where someone installed a camera in the tanning bed or changing area. A client’s nude photographs may be used for various purposes, including, in particular, online publication. The police even raided some tanning salons that were involved in this sleazy operation. In many cases, they have found wireless cameras hidden in many places in tanning rooms.
Certainly not all tanning salons are doing this, not even many of them. But it’s a good idea that you’re not one of the unlucky ones to visit a salon that is breaking the law and violating your privacy. There are ways you can protect yourself from ever having it happen to you. Look at a salon’s reputation and see if there have been any complaints or allegations against the business.
Also, you can search for the hidden cameras yourself. While you’re in the changing room, first look to see if there are any visible cameras peeking out from behind vents or gaps in the ceiling. Of course, some cameras are as small as a pin, so it’s not possible to detect all of them that way. That’s when the hidden camera detector comes in.
Using a camera detector couldn’t be easier. Camera detectors are small in size and can be carried in a purse or pocket. They work by detecting the RF signal emitted by the cameras. When they find something, they emit a beep and flash lights in the vicinity. So you should definitely wave them all over the room and tanning bed. If you find anything, please leave immediately and contact the authorities if you wish.
So it’s nice to know that you can choose a tanning salon without worrying about being taken advantage of that way. Sleazy spa owners will never predict that you’re outsmarting their cameras!
