Why Searching for Security monitors on Airbnb Is Harder Than It Should Be

Security monitors — the display screens showing feeds from cameras around the property — indicate a more actively managed security setup than a basic camera or alarm alone, which matters for solo travellers, families, or anyone booking a standalone property in an unfamiliar area. It's worth noting this is a property security feature, not a guest privacy concern about being monitored — that distinction is worth clarifying directly with the host if it's ever unclear from the listing.

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 monitors, 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 monitors (code: 230), 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 monitors

Tips for Booking an Airbnb with Security monitors

Verify the Security monitors before you commit

Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Security monitors, 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 monitors 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

Always confirm exactly where any camera or monitor coverage is — Airbnb requires hosts to disclose indoor cameras, and legitimate security setups only cover exterior areas like entrances and driveways, never bedrooms or bathrooms. If a listing's camera disclosure is vague or missing, ask the host directly before booking.
