As a good parent, your first priority is making sure that your children are safe at all times. There are many products on the market to help you attain this piece of mind, but few are as effective as nanny cameras. In this article I will explore the various types of nanny cameras and help the reader (you!) to make an educated decision when looking to buy one for yourself.

Isn’t it expensive to install a hidden nanny camera in my house? I am often asked this question and most people are pleasantly surprised by how affordable it is nowadays to purchase and install your own camera. While it might have cost you $500-$1,000 to purchase a high quality hidden nanny camera about 5 years ago, recent advancements in technology have made it possible for anyone to buy their own for between one and two hundred dollars!

Which type of nanny camera is best suited for me? This is another common question amongst home security enthusiasts. There are several key factors that you must consider:

1. Does your nanny camera need to be hidden? While hidden cameras are often very small and convenient, they sometimes lack the digital clarity of larger spy cameras that can be placed out in the open.

2. How will you watch the video feed from your nanny camera? Many cameras allow you to watch the video feed remotely via your personal computer or laptop up to several miles away! This can be exciting and convenient for the user but some people prefer to watch their nanny cam’s video feed on a television that is devoted to their spy camera.

3. Is it important to you that your nanny camera is wireless? Installing a wireless camera can be extremely convenient for many parents, but this type of hidden camera can also be slightly more expensive.
