2 WAY MIRRORS

By: murugeshgeo Verified Member MouthShut Verified Member | Posted Dec 14, 2008 | General | 196 Views

Recently I read in newspapers that some hotels ans textile showrooms cheat the customers by installing two way mirrors to watch and record them privately. In some places they keep their mobile camera on and place them on top of the changing room.


This is not to scare you, but to make sure that you are aware. Many of the hotels and textile showrooms cheat the customers this way.


HOWTO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR OR NOT


When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, are actually a 2-way mirror i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them. There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathrooms or bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?


CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST :


Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE; IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR (there is someone seeing you from the other side).


So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do. This is a really good thing to do. The reason for a gap on a real mirror is because the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass. Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the Surface. Keep it in mind! Make sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms.Maybe someone is making a film on you.
