Still a few days to grab a Lock Expo deal from Hickleys Another great show in the books! Our show team set out our wares once again at Lock Expo in Nottingham. In 2023 the future of Lock Expo was in doubt due to the sad passing of its founder, Mike Friend. As a company, we wanted to help the show continue and this is why we stepped in as main sponsors for 2023 and 2024. While we no doubt live in an increasingly digital age, we cannot emphasise enough how much we value getting together with our existing and future customers in person. This is not only an opportunity to demo our products, but it also gives us a chance to gather first-hand feedback from the people using our tools and services in the real world every day. This is also why we always gather the best deals and offers to take to these important trade shows. Airbnb bans the use of indoor security cameras Airbnb is banning the use of indoor security cameras in listings globally, the short-term rental platform announced on Monday. Previously, Airbnb allowed hosts to have indoor security cameras in common areas as long as the devices were clearly disclosed on the listing page and placed in visible spots in the home. Indoor security cameras, however, were never allowed in spaces like sleeping areas and bathrooms. The update announced Monday clarifies that indoor security cameras are now prohibited in any listing, regardless of their location, purpose or prior disclosure.
