"Cameras, they're everywhere, in computers, phones, street lights, public areas, shopping malls, stores," Dawson said. "And it's growing more invasive every year."
This documentary really opened my eyes to just how bad these situations can be. The idea that we are being watched from anywhere and everywhere is absolutely terrifying. There are so many sick people in the world that just want to watch others when they are least expecting it.
Within the documentary, they state how people were hacking into ‘Nest’ cameras which were being used to look over babies or young children when they were in their rooms and they even changed the temperature of the room which put the babies life in danger.
Shane Dawson set up his friends by inviting them to a motel room and telling them there was a murder and they had to attempt to solve and find evidence, however, the real reason they were there is that he had hidden a load of secret cameras in the room and wanted to know if they would figure it out before he told them. Once he had made them aware of the real reason they were there, they started the search for all the hidden cameras, but they still didn’t even find all of them.

Fire Alarm
Frame
Tissue Box

Mini cameras that are so small they wouldn’t be visible unless you were looking for them.
"You can find cameras that look like alarm clocks, stuffed animals, lightbulbs, USBs, picture frames, coat racks, power outlets, light switches, fragrance plugins, speakers, clocks, pens, coffee makers, cleaning supplies, bottles, mirrors, razors, lighters, calculators, TVs, ceiling fans, air conditioners, tissue boxes, lotion bottles, remote controls, dice, and showerheads."
They mentioned a few time in the documentary about the Airbnb scandals with hidden cameras and how it is not actually illegal for them to have cameras in their homes as long as they disclose this in the description of the property.
It’s quite sickening and scary how far some people will go to ‘fulfil their sexual desire’ or just to generally spy on people, it makes a lot of today’s society have a sense of hypervigilance wherever they are.
