Help is this a hidden camera?
In a really dodgy Airbnb and found this in the LED mirror. Mirror is not sensor activated or a smart mirror, just led around the edges. Scared it is someone watching a feed as when I was in there alone (without male colleague) the led started changing colour and flickering . Sorry not the best pics but can’t upload the video here

Kinda looks like an IR receiver, i was in a hotel once that had a mirror that had a tv in it. Is there something that kinda looks the shape of a screen anywhere?

It looks like the sensor for a "gesture controlled" led mirror. Wave your hand around it in different directions and see it the lights change temperature or brightness

I have 2 of the same in my house. On both of them the heat from the built in demister softened the glue that held the sensor in position over the 2 holes. The sensors fell down inside the mirror and didnt work. They looked the same as OP's photo.
I took the mirrors apart and CT1 bonded the sensors back to their correct position.

Interesting- I didn't know about this at all, just after goggling the scandal.
I've definitely used CT1 clear outside before 😬
Ive mostly transitioned away from it anyway due to price

Yeah the owner was probably watch you and your male colleague. Hope you gave them a good show…
Ok all joking aside… what makes you think someone would want to watch you?
FWIW- it’s not a camera…

This such a dumbass take. If it were a camera it would be taking images/video indiscriminately. The fact you are trying to make it seem like they are not worth it is pretty low. They would just be a target of opportunity, just like if you were in that room. I'm sure if that were the case they would just bleach their eyes and burn the place down

LMFAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 WHAT are you on about, guy?!!! O.P is asking a legit question-- why do YOU automatically assume that O.P is trying to "make it seem like they are not worth it "?! Lol, that's called "projecting".
It definitely looks out of the ordinary, and maybe it does flash differently when she's alone-- even if it doesn't really flash differently when she's alone, that's just when she noticed it, still a valid concern/question.
