Nanny Cameras
What is a nanny cam and how does a nanny cam work?
A nanny cam is a small camera that is used to monitor the activity in the home when negligence or abuse is suspected. Although many options exist, using a hidden wireless camera is the simplest route to recording. The hidden nanny cam’s receiver sends the signal to the transmitter, and video information is recorded to a computer hard drive or DVR. There are many options when it comes to what kind of hidden nanny cam is best for you.
Why use a nanny cam?
- Confidence that your child is not being harmed. Using a nanny camera allows you to see what is going on in your home with your own eyes. You do not have to wonder. You can know.
- Confidence that your instructions are being followed. By using a nanny cam, you can monitor what television your child is watching, what visitors are coming over, etc.
What types of nanny cams are available?
- Hidden nanny cams are helpful when abuse is suspected. Common hiding places for nanny cams include:
- Wall or mantel clocks
- Smoke detectors
- Tissue box covers
- Stuffed animals
- Air fresheners
- House plants
- Computer speakers
- Wall mounted nanny cams are an overt way of capturing the activity in a particular area of the house. While the wall mounted nanny cam may not help capture harm being done to a child, they can be very effective as a deterrent for would-be abusers.
Where can I find a nanny camera and how much does a good web cam cost?
