Insecurities as a Traveler? Read how the new surveillance tool Lexuma XScan provide all the protection you need during your trips 

As a growing number of travelers are choosing less regulated accommodations to reduce their cost for more savings on the road, more and more are discovering the most threatening danger of living under these poorly regulated rentals: being watched and recorded by hidden cameras.

Despite the fact that most of the cheap accommodations implement a strict privacy standard, and that the hosts are usually required to disclose all security cameras and other recording devices in their listings, it is revealed that their online and remote customer service enforce poorly when the privacy issues really occur.

Here’s one recent case of a family discovering hidden cameras in the smoke detector in their stay:

Family finds hidden camera livestreaming from their Airbnb in Ireland

After arriving at their Airbnb in Cork, Ireland, a family from New Zealand made an unsettling discovery: a hidden camera, livestreaming from the living room.

Even when the guests discover hidden cameras in the rentals, the platforms often fail to solve their immediate needs regarding their personal security and disclosure of the recorded data, and the involved apartments often still open for other booking without warning. 

Therefore, it’s best to be proactive and take matters into your own hands.

Here we present the brand new all-in-one handheld detector for you adventurers to travel around the world without the need to worry about personal security.

1. Hidden Camera Detection : A Thorough Scanning when you Check in

Whether it be a vacation rental property, a hotel room or a low budget apartment, check the entire space to protect your own privacy.To detect hidden cameras in a stranger’s house, the Lexuma XScan is a handheld portable device designed to detect cameras of radio waves, magnetic field, hidden wired or wireless camera equipment by infrared scanning.

By looking through the viewfinder on the detector, any hidden cameras can be revealed as it will reflect a spot of the red light back. Using the device on all surfaces to uncover reflective camera lens will help you to spot hidden cameras easily. You may have to pay extra attention to check for unusual brands on wall devices and electronic equipment. Your place is most likely safe and camera-free if you can't find any red light reflected. If you do find any suspicious item, unplug, store or rearrange them. Most importantly, contact the customer service and your host to inspect further on the incident.  

2. Motion Alert: Avoiding Theft and Malicious Break ins 

Apart from being a detector, the XScan also serves as a motion sensor when you activate the motion alert mode. When you’re back in your accommodation for a rest, hang the device on the door knob, so that it can stay alert and warn you when anything suspicious in motion is walking near your door, or even intending to break in. A loud noise would be triggered immediately and ring for at least 15 seconds once the sensor detects motion nearby. That way you are under a protection comparable to any security system, and any kind of malicious break in could be avoided.

The function also works well when you wish to protect your valuables from being stolen. If you are staying in a spot for a longer period, or you have to leave your belongings for a short while, hang your Lexuma XScan on your belongings and turn on the motion alert mode.

Any thief would be scared off by the loud alarm of 130dB if they touch your bag.  Perfect for keeping your luggage safe and protected when you are waiting for your flight in the airport. 

3. Separation Alert : Never Leave Your Bag Behind

Do you often forget to take your belongings, especially during travels? Instead of regretting over an irreversible mistake, here’s something you can do BEFORE making the same mistake. After getting a Lexuma XScan, all you need is to download the corresponding tracking app SwiftFinder on your phone, and then pair it up with your device. Then, there are at least five ways we can help you to never lose your bag, and gradually always remember your belongings:

1. Once you turn on the separation alert switch, an alarm would be rung on your phone to remind you if you left your bag behind. 
   
   
2. In case you are already separated from you bag, you can always track its location by clicking the ring button on the app. The device on your bag will then alarm immediately for easier finding, just like the function of playing sound on the “Find my iPhone” app. 
   
   
3. You can review your recent drive history recorded in the app, and conduct a thorough searching on your bags after revisiting the places.
   
   
4. To assist your search and maximize the possibility of finding your bag back, Lexuma also offers the function of Community Search, indicating that your device is automatically connected to other XScan devices, and the updated location will be sent to your phone.
   
   
5. In addition to that, your friends and family with XScan device can help to search for your lost item on their app too.

The functions may be ordinary, but it surely saves you some phone battery for more important use.
