The $29 Problem

RF detectors are Amazon’s #1 best seller in travel accessories. Any guest can scan your room in 5 minutes. The video goes viral before they ever call reception.

Industry Threat

Your competitors don’t need better rooms.
They need one camera in yours.

Plant

A $30 spy camera. Planted by a 'guest' in 5 minutes. Undetectable without professional equipment.

Expose

Anonymous tip to a journalist. A viral TikTok. A fake guest review. Pick one.

Destroy

Your hotel is the headline. Your competitor gets your bookings. Your lawyers get your money.

“In the hospitality industry, sabotage doesn’t require a bomb. It requires a $30 camera and a checkout time.”

There is a solution.

How It Works

From mapping to monitoring.
Built for five-star properties.
