You did the right thing by leaving immediately, documenting what you saw, and filing reports with both the platform and police.

Kill the lights and use your phone flashlight\u2014lenses often glint. Open your phone\u2019s front camera to spot faint purple IR dots from night-vision cams.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"815\">If you spot a device, don\u2019t confront onsite. Get out, take clear photos\/video (including the device\u2019s view and any SD slot\/labels), and contact local police plus the platform\u2019s safety line. Keep all messages, ask for an incident number, and request relocation\/refund in writing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"1091\">Afterward, change passwords, enable 2FA, and consider a credit freeze if IDs were visible. For future trips, carry a tiny \u201cprivacy kit\u201d: lens\/RF detector, painter\u2019s tape to cover pinholes, a USB data blocker, and a nightlight for dark-room checks.
