Airbnb will ban indoor security cameras in rental properties listed on its platform starting April 30, simplifying its policy. The decision follows consultations with guests, hosts, and privacy experts. Although most listings don't have security cameras, the update addresses concerns about hidden cameras. Airbnb currently permits cameras in common areas with visibility requirements but prohibits them in sleeping areas and bathrooms. The move aims to balance host safety and guest privacy. Doorbell cameras and noise monitors remain allowed, but with restrictions on indoor direction and monitoring outdoor spaces, requiring hosts to disclose their presence before bookings.
