The man had networked the camera directly to his PC in the room next door, where he recorded some of the customers.

The 30-year-old's camera was found accidentally by a toilet user who immediately called the police.
Initially the cafe owner denied that the cam was anything to do with him and said it was the first time he had heard about it.
But when police examined his computer they found that the wireless signal was beaming directly to his PC.
Several tapes of visitors to the toilet were also a bit of a giveaway.
The man was found guilty on several charges and could be sentenced to up to five years in prison.
