No address listed.

It mentions a website selling inconspicuous cameras of all types, disguised as many common household items. Smoke detectors, clock radios, USB hubs, etc all with hidden cams. Very concerning.

I bet this happens more than one would expect. Too many pervs out there. There have been a few cases locally that I recall, one in Alton back in 2018 and another one in Sanbornton in 2024 that was a well-known local.
