A Sacramento woman made an alarming discovery in her home. She found a camera – hidden in what she thought was a smoke detector. There's a spot on Carlyn Perry's apartment bedroom ceiling where the bogus smoke detector used to be. Now she wants to know who put it there. See more in the video above.

They need to do more than let her out of her lease. How about start with firing the maintenance team if you don’t get answers. Rebuild the team because that situation is just unacceptable.

The camera is bad enough, but the complete lack of real smoke detectors should lead to a prison term.

This is an older model spy cam that does not have bluetooth capability like newer ones, so the SD card has to be manually removed to retrieve video (also to replace battery). The video shows date 1/10/2017; this is a 2017 model that would default date to 1/1/2017, so it was most likely installed 10 days prior. 10 days of recording when motion captured (less than 1 day if constant recorrding), is about the right amount of time for the battery to drain. If the SD card filled up, it would dump the oldest captures to continue to record the newest ones.

... or at least this is what a friend told me... *clears throat*

If you actually look into it there like a whole group of these properties owners doing this. Some even sell the clips online. Call me a conspiracy theorist but to say that this is an isolated accordance is just naive

I always check for this kind of stuff when I move into a place (I never leave maintenance unattended either and I have a camera set up that records if anyone enters while I'm not home). I take the fan cover off and look inside in the bathroom and if I see any random holes in the walls I caulk them just in case. There are TOO MANY sickos out there. I hope they SUE the complex.

Makes you wonder when renting a motel room or a house if someone is watching. Cameras can be hard to detect. Like a nail hole in wall. Or a dozen other places. You could be looking right at it and not see it. You can't trust anything these days.

Not that you should need to but you can buy an RF detector really cheap online. Every paranoid should have one and you'd be surprised what you would find

That person needs to be arrested and charged.

This is a common issue, apartment complex hire questionable maintenance guys that have NO business having access to people homes. Many have criminal history and yet they are handed a key to everyone's homes. My best friend found a maintenance guy in her place at 2 am... he was planing on robbing her because I had borrowed her car and he thought nobody was home that day.

That is shady. I know I’m feeling suspicious about my own smoke detectors that light up green and red at odd times it seems. I’ll have to take it down and see what that’s about.

That’s crazy the fact someone knew you were going to be gone and used that opportunity to assault her privacy.

It seems like it was either the landlord or a maintenance person since they would have easiest access to the apartment.

You should always buy your own detectors and replace them.

So I work in the security field. A good thing to do is to get a camera of your own that you can link to your own network. Say a nest or something of the sort that you can remotely have alert you when you are out of your apartment when it detects motion. That smoke detector "Spy Cam" had an SD card in it, so someone had to have had kept coming into her place to retrieve the data off the card which would mean the suspect went in there multiple times because an SD card only holds so much data before it fills up. Also how is that camera getting power? The suspect has to recharge it repeatedly. Think about that.

Something doesn't add up. There are no power supply lines in the ceiling, and no battery visible in the smoke detector. How is it powered? If the battery is really small, the smoke detector will only last for maybe a few days, tops, before the battery has to be recharged. If so it means someone was coming regularly to swap or recharge the battery and possibly retrieve footage
