A man who installed a video camera in a hotel room to pry on couples' amorous liaisons has had to turn to police after two victims kept demanding more compensation in Liuzhou, the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

Dong, aged in his 20s, secretly installed a video camera in a room of a hotel run by his parents in the city's Hangbei road in October.

But the secret video camera was found by an observant couple surnamed Luo and Xie.

They demanded 9,000 yuan ($1,310) from Dong to settle the matter out of court, but he was forced to seek police help on Tuesday after Luo and Xie asked for more money.

Police are investigating.
