Security cameras are a two-sided amenity: reassuring for guests worried about a remote or isolated property, but also a genuine privacy consideration that Airbnb requires hosts to disclose. Airbnb's platform-wide policy is that cameras are only allowed in shared or exterior spaces, never inside private guest areas — knowing a listing has them, and where, is worth confirming before booking.
When you open Airbnb's search filter panel, you'll see options for basic amenities like "Wifi" and "Pool." But for more specific features like Security Cameras, the filter may not appear at all — or it's buried so deep that most travellers never find it. Airbnb has assigned an internal amenity code to Security Cameras (code: 229), but their UI simply doesn't expose it.
This forces travellers into one of two bad options: read through every listing description hoping the host mentioned it, or book somewhere and discover the amenity isn't available after you arrive.
How CustomBNB Lets You Filter by Security Cameras
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Security Cameras (code 229) — and surfaces them through a simple, searchable interface. When you click the search button, CustomBNB generates an Airbnb URL with the amenity code appended, sending you directly to pre-filtered results on Airbnb's platform.
You're not leaving Airbnb's ecosystem — you're just arriving with your filters already set. CustomBNB requires no account to try, and takes under 30 seconds. For a deeper look at how Airbnb's hidden filter system works, read our complete guide to Airbnb's hidden amenity codes.

Tips for Booking an Airbnb with Security Cameras
Verify the Security Cameras before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Security Cameras, check that recent reviews mention it positively, and read the "Things to know" section for any caveats. A filter match is a starting point — not a guarantee.
Message the host to confirm if it's a dealbreaker
If Security Cameras is essential to your trip, send the host a quick message before booking to confirm it's available and in working order for your dates. Most hosts respond within a few hours. Getting it in writing also protects you if there's a dispute after check-in.
What else to look for in the listing
Ask exactly where cameras are located (exterior/entrance only, versus common indoor areas) — Airbnb policy prohibits cameras in bedrooms and bathrooms regardless of disclosure, so any camera reported inside a private space should be flagged to Airbnb directly. For remote properties, exterior cameras plus good exterior lighting are a reasonable safety plus, not a concern.
