A COUPLE, who once claimed that a hidden camera filmed them having sex at a rural guest house, was not the couple seen in an adult film, the Guangzhou Daily reported today.

The husband, identified as Teng, was watching an adult video he downloaded from the Internet on June 6 when he found it was film of himself and his wife.

Teng complained to the police and then made headlines throughout the country and on several major news web portals.

However, police in Guangzhou's Panyu District said that two people in the video were not Teng and his wife, and the language they spoke was not Chinese.

Teng, a migrant from neighboring Foshan City, reportedly booked a room with his wife in a shabby guest house three years ago in Panyu. Teng said the room, the bed and even the blanket were the same as they were in the video.

But police said the video was not shot at the guest house as Teng alleged.

The owner of the guest house is reported to be wanting to sue Teng.

Meanwhile, a sauna manager in Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong, has revealed that hidden cameras are widely used by saunas and recreational facilities in Guangdong.

The middle-aged manager, who was not willing to give his real name, said saunas and recreational venues around the country had hidden cameras installed even in bathrooms to meet the demands of fire departments and security.

Guangzhou police had asked local saunas to install at least one camera per 100 square meters, according to the manager.
