Protect your Children with a Nanny Cam!
My Nanny Cams is your resource for hidden surveillance & nanny cameras.
It is never an enjoyable experience to leave your children in another person’s care. Parents are meant to be with their children, and we feel that void when separation occurs. Unfortunately, it is sometimes necessary for one or both parents to be away from their home and children at some point in the day. Rather than place them in a group daycare, many parents turn to Nannies to care for their children in the comfort of their own home.
At one time, parents felt completely secure leaving their children in the hands of a trusted care provider. But, with the rise of abuse and neglect from child care givers, some parents are uneasy no matter how trusted the individual is. Even if you are comfortable with your child’s care provider, sometimes leaving them with another is just not the same as your own care.
It was this concern that spurred the advent of the Nanny cam. Parents felt compelled to always have an “eye” on their children when they were away and decided to do something about it. Home security cameras were installed, hidden or otherwise, to be sure their care provider was giving the care she was hired to provide. Since its relatively primitive origins, the Nanny cam has evolved to be a high-technology, low-cost way of monitoring your home while you are away.
Nanny cams come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. If your trust level with your caretaker is low, it can be hidden in various objects from smoke detectors to teddy bears. If you have a more open communication level, it can be a typical security camera. In either case, it is best to be honest with your care provider and inform them that they are being recorded. Most care providers are okay with being recorded by a nanny cam, but secrecy in video surveillance is generally not appreciated.
It is legal to operate a hidden nanny camera provided audio is not being recorded. You should check your state’s regulations to be sure you are meeting all requirements. Beyond monitoring childcare, your nanny cam can be used to monitor intruders or keep a watchful eye on maintenence workers or others in your home while you are away. Although it has been around for awhile, Nanny cam technology is still new to many individuals. That’s why we’ve compiled pages of information to inform you about Nanny cams and child safety to help you decide if a Nanny cam is right for you.
