Gadget found attached to tv

[LetsTango]

I found this gadget attached to the tv in my Carnival Breeze cabin. I hope it's not a camera!

Was this in an accessible cabin, or why are you posting on the disabled board?  EM

[LetsTango]

I am disabled but our cabin was not accessible. But from my viewpoint I caught a glimpse of this gadget taped near the bottom of the tv. Any idea what it is?

Can I suggest that you repost this on the 'Ask a Cruise Question" board. You're bound to get a lot more answers there.

Looks like a remote control receiver to me.

[LetsTango]

Thank you sweet people!

The problem is "we" can't see what it was connected to. My question is, did you bother to ask steward or security?

[LetsTango]

I did not ask our steward or security. We were traveling with my sister & her husband who was a homicide detective & I asked him what it was. He thought it was a part of the remote control system but I'm a bit more suspicious.

I think your brother in law was right.

That is an infrared blaster. You will find it attached to the IR window on a TV or cable box. Do internet search for pictures and more info.

It's a camera.  I now have all of the photos.  Send your money to:

I keed, I keed.  It is an IR blaster/receiver for your TV.

 

Bonus points to anyone who gets my reference.

This is a IR receiver.  Many hotels/cruise lines use it to make all tv's uniformly work for remotes.  It is not a camera.

Nice you don't believe your BIL who is a detective now that's 😂 😂😂.

That's a dikfer

[Slugsta]

More suspicious than a 'homicide detective'??  

[HawkIVette]

It's a camera.   I installed one on a cruise last month.  Here's a picture of what I got sent to me from that cruise.

 

 

And another one from the next cruise.

I found this hanging from my ceiling one night.  I thought it was a camera too, so I threw it overboard off my balcony.

Now that's laugh out funny!!!

[mackenzie80]

I'm rolling laughing at all this!

[mredandchis]

ok this is the funniest thread i have ever read on here, my kinda cruisers. 

[riclop]

It's for the remote.

[AnonomissX]

Thanks for almost making me splash my Monster energy drink on the screen!

 

However, OP, that is an "IR" blaster receiver, ie Infrared receiver for a TV remote control.
