The Challenge

A world-renowned palace hotel in Udaipur contacted Indiebim after a celebrity guest claimed they were being filmed in their private suite.

For a five-star property hosting VVIP guests and international events, even the rumor of hidden cameras carried severe brand risk.

2

The Problem

Palace-style suites contain ornate mirror work, carved wood, chandeliers, and antique decor that provide excellent camouflage for covert surveillance devices.

  • Hidden camera detection in decorative frames, lighting, and furniture.
  • Audio transmitter detection during private guest negotiations.
  • A narrow four-hour sweep window between guest checkout and check-in.
3

The Action

Wahid Shaikh deployed a rapid-response team that treated the suite as a potential crime scene and preserved evidentiary integrity during the sweep.

  • High-intensity optical lens scanning from multiple room angles.
  • Thermal imaging across smart TVs and electronic hubs.
  • NLJD inspection of canopy beds and antique wardrobes.
4

The Findings

The team located a 4K hidden camera with night vision concealed inside a decorative vintage-style alarm clock in the presidential suite.

The device streamed via a 4G SIM card, completely bypassing the hotel Wi-Fi network.

5

The Solution

  • Cataloged all electronic decor items and applied tamper-evident RFID tags.
  • Trained the hotel security leadership on visual counter-surveillance.
  • Implemented routine TSCM sweeps ahead of every VVIP arrival.
6

Outcome

The hotel preserved guest trust and public confidence, remaining a top choice for high-profile clientele.
