Beware of suspicious activity in any workplace. Spy-shops make hidden cameras and eavesdropping devices readily available. This individual was clearly disturbed, but probably functioned “normally” in his work. He had placed spy-shop clock-cameras in a life-guard shack where he worked. Some of the victims realized the clocks were recording devices by Googling the brand name found on the clocks. Some cameras may not be so easy to identify or detect and may require professional assistance. Contact us if you have concerns about covert video in your workplace.

…29-year-old Michael Collins was secretly photographing female colleagues — using tiny cameras hidden in clocks — as they undressed for work. He later pasted the photos of their faces and naked bodies on a collage in his bedroom.
Collins also took numerous photos of women and children on the beach, focusing on the buttocks and breasts of the women, according to police.
Pay attention if something looks suspicious. Covert cameras come in many disguises.
In August, police said two female lifeguards reported to Water Front Director Kaitlin Mello that they had noticed two unusual clocks placed in seemingly random location in the lifeguard shack.
Police said each of the clocks had a small lens hole on the top left corner and there were media cards in the back.
Each media card contained over 250 videos titled with the name of each female lifeguard and the activity she was captured doing at the time, police said.
…
Collins’ bedroom in his home was described by police as a “dumping ground,” full of empty Coors Light beer cans from floor to halfway up the wall, several gallon of canola oil containers filled with urine scattered across the floor.
On his desk were nine pairs of spyglasses along with a huge pile of tissues… Police described the many collages Collins had created from his pornographic photos as “disturbing.”
