TL;DR: As of June 1, the Scout Hidden Camera Detector is on sale for $69.99, making it 22% off its original price of $89.99. You can also get a pack of two for $108.99 instead of $179, which makes for savings of 39%.


I’m not saying there’s a hidden camera waiting for you in your Airbnb, but I’m also not not saying it. Despite the company’s policy on the use of cameras and recording devices, there are some people who break the rules. If you’re concerned about your next trip out of town and want a little peace of mind, grab the Scout Hidden Camera Detector while it’s on sale for up to 39% off. 

Featured previously, the Scout is a tiny device designed to detect any potential cameras that may be in your vacation rental and elsewhere. They’re about the size of a remote control, so they’re easy to toss in your suitcase or backpack for your upcoming trip. You point the LEDs on the device away from you, hold it up to your eye and look through the aperture. If the Scout suspects a concealed camera, a pinpoint of flashing red light will shine back at you. 

There’s a bit of a learning curve to using this, but a little practice should help. With your purchase, you’ll get a practice camera lens, so you can figure out what a detection actually looks like before you travel. 

Here’s a quick tutorial and some key insights from the creator:

Depending on how often you travel and how often you use the Scout, one should last you well over a year on a single set of batteries. A single Scout Hidden Camera Detector is usually $89, but you can save 22% and get one for just $69.99 for a limited time. Want to give one to someone else who travels a lot? The Scout makes for a great gift, and a two-pack will actually save you even more. Regularly $179 for two, you’ll pay just $108.99 — that’s 39% in savings.
