Trusting children to the care of people who are practically strangers is difficult for any parent. Even if parents would rather stay home and watch the kids, not everyone can afford to. But there is something you can do to make sure their kids are in good care. Nanny cameras have been around for a long time now and have constantly been upgraded to provide maximum performance.

Single Parents and Nanny Cameras

When you’re a single parent, raising children becomes twice as challenging than it should be when you have a partner to share responsibilities with. Single parents are caught in the dilemma of whether to keep a job and be away each day in order to provide for the children, or to stay home and attend to the children’s needs.

Unfortunately, most single parents are forced to work and leave the kids in the care of nannies. If you’re in the same predicament as millions of single parents are, you need to know that you can keep an eye on your kids and the nanny even while at work with nanny cameras.

A nanny camera will give you the reassurance that you need when you leave your kids in the care of nannies. True, nothing compares to staying home and watching over the kids yourself, but when you have to leave home, you can at least have peace of mind with the thought that you’re doing something to keep tabs on your kids’ safety.

What You Need

First of all, you need to have a video cam to serve as your nanny camera. But keep in mind that you need an inconspicuous camera, something you can install without the nanny knowing it’s there. These days, you can find a nanny camera in many different forms. There are nanny cameras that come in the shape of air fresheners, clocks, stereos, picture frames, and stuffed toys.

Aside from the nanny camera, you need a video surveillance software, which usually comes with the nanny camera, and of course, a computer and an Internet connection in your workplace. Once installed, the software will turn your computer into a video recorder and receptor which will allow you to view the images from the nanny camera at any time of the day.

Where You Need It

There are three key areas in your house that should be installed with a nanny camera. These places are where your kids interact most with the nanny – the bedroom, the living room, and the kitchen. But if you can afford to get more than three nanny cameras, you can mount one in every room of the house.

Nanny cameras are usually easy to install and mount. Your only concern would be to choose a spot that offers a good, wide view of the room and to make sure that the camera looks as unobtrusive and as natural as possible. You want to catch see your nanny interacting with your kids the way she would when she thinks no one is around.

The object of carrying out in-home surveillance has been fostered with the advent of the nanny cams. These are hidden video cameras installed within some common object of household use. The word nanny cam is used because of the use of such hidden cameras for monitoring and recording the activities of child care providers or home care givers (who are also called nannies).

The offence or innocence of a nanny suspected in committing an act of abusing a child is best established with the help of recordings in a nanny camera. Such camera is made available in various forms and they may be purchased hidden inside a teddy bear used for playing by the child, some a clock radio or even a pot housing a plant. A Kleenex box used for housing tissue papers may also keep concealed a nanny cam. Usually there are built in wireless transmitters by which the nanny cams transmit the video pictures taken to the wireless receivers of the recording device (VCR or DVR) located in another room.

Whether or not it is right to install the nanny cams is a question that often comes to the mind. Some feel that it is a good idea to set up the nanny cams for surveillance while others opine that this is tantamount to invasion of privacy. It is worthwhile to weigh the pros and cons of the product before coming to a decision regarding the purchase of the device for installation at home.

There is a variety of such cameras on offer today. The wireless varieties are much sought-after- especially the ones that can be kept hidden in almost any kind of household item. These useful cameras are coming in a range of prices and some of the rates offered are pretty attractive too.

One thing is for sure, the nanny cam ensures peace of mind and confidence in child care using the spying techniques. That is why an increasing number of parents and guardians of children prefer to opt for the cameras. The nanny cams can be put to good use for keeping an eye on activities when the home is being cleaned, for watching occasional in-home sitter services opted for and for ascertaining security.

The child care providers have raised the point that they need to be apprised of the nanny cams being introduced. The question of trust and feeling of deception are the concerns raised in this regard.

Caution needs to be observed while installing the nanny cams too. There have been incidents in which the security of the homes instead of being increased by the introduction of the nanny cams has actually been breached. The home has become unknowingly exposed to some person equipped with a cheap receiver.

It is certainly not illegal to use a nanny cam to capture pictures or images of things and activities at one’s home for monitoring. However, there may be the restriction on recording of speech without a person’s consent.

Many readers have been wondering recently about what they can do to keep an eye on their babysitters or nannies, and how to do it efficiently. Sometimes, children may not be disciplined by the nanny, or they may be over-disciplined by the nanny. Both extremes are not conducive to a good home environment, and may result in the child reacting to the parents as a result. So, in answer to all your questions, I will now address the topic of nanny cams, which for the reasons above is now an increasingly popular subject among families.

So, where do you start with nanny cams. The first thing you should know is what you can and cannot do with a nanny cam. Specifically, it is completely legal to make any visual recordings inside your home, so do not worry about that. There are however restrictions regarding the recording of audio inside your home. In most states, it is illegal to make audio recordings for surveillance purposes, and you could get in trouble with the law if you do so. You might think that this is a serious blow to your surveillance since you cannot hear if the nanny is verbally abusing your child, but video footage is more than enough to tell if verbal abuse is occurring. Other than that one restriction, you do not have to own a special permit or anything similar in order to operate a nanny camera system in your home, which makes it a reasonably pain-free investment.

There are all types of nanny cameras out on the market. From teddy bears to beer cans, there are all kinds of hidden surveillance devices you can use to keep track of what is happening. The great thing about all of this is that with technological advances, nanny cams are cheap enough that anyone can install them in their home. Systems start as low as one hundred dollars and go up from there. Usually these cameras can transmit to some location about 700 feet away, so it does allow some distance, and even some higher-end transmitters can reach distances of over 2000 feet!  The important thing to consider here though is placement. Make sure your camera is in a good location, so that you will be filming more than just someone’s foot. Also, interference can occur for electronics that make use of a similar frequency, such as cordless phones and other electronics. The interference should always be minimal, but to make sure you have a good recording, place your camera somewhere that is not in line with other equipment that utilizes the same transmitting frequency.

The other thing you need to consider about your nanny camera system is what kind of a receiver you will be using. Some people still use a VCR to make their recordings, but the more advanced DVR is probably your best option now. DVR will allow for better recording since it is digital, and it also allows for you to erase and record footage over and over again on the hard drive.

Overall, there are many benefits and advantages to having a nanny camera system installed in your home. In contrast, the only real negative effect of having a nanny camera is the overall feeling created in your home of ‘being watched.’ This can be avoided though with prudent use of the camera, such as only turning it on when the kids are alone in the house with a nanny. In conclusion, a nanny cam can be an extremely valuable asset to protect your children from possible abuse.

Unsure Ann asked:


I am considering putting a spy camera in my office to video tape (it’s a spy camera/nanny camera and has audio too) sexual harassment by the owner of the company towards me. As I am the manager, I have no one to speak to about the harassment. I have directly asked him to stop several times, but to no avail. I know that in California audio is usually not admissible. Has anyone ever heard of a case of sexual harassment where they were able to use the video/audio in court?
Thank you!
