Hypothetical, based on a Youtube video. I'm staying at an airbnb, and
in the bathroom my wife notices a camera in the ceiling. I'm from
another state and don't have time to stay there to sue or attend court, assuming there is something to sue for or charge the owner with. If I
apply 110 volts to the wires from the camera, is that likely to fry the recorder, at least the input stage for all the cameras.

If 110 voolts won't do it, maybe I could find 500 volts somewhere. Do
you think that would be enough.

Oops, I missed the obvious. It's connected to a transmitter, and at
most this would fry the transmitter, which is probably a lot cheaper
than the recorder. Also it would leave the guy with all the recordings
he's already made. In this case, he's been renting the place for a
while, and gotten good reviews, LOL Maybe a class action would be
fitting.

I was wrong again. The camera itself contained recordings of 49 adults
and 13 children. I guess like my own camera, which I have to photograph wildlife in the back yard, if any, it has an SD card as well as a
transmitter. ,,,,, Owner sentenced to jail for 4 to 6 years, regitstered
