1. Camera Detector
Hidden cameras in hotel rooms or Airbnbs are, sadly, a real concern for modern travelers. A camera detector helps you quickly scan your room for hidden recording devices, giving you total peace of mind when you settle in for the night.

2. Hotel Door Stopper
Hotel doors don't always offer the best protection — especially in budget stays. A portable door stopper (especially one with an alarm) adds an extra layer of security while you sleep, keeping you safe from unwanted intrusions.
