As The Popularity For The Hidden Nanny Cam Kept Growing, So Did The Controversy Surrounding Their Use!
It wasn't long after when sales for other types of video surveillance equipment was also increasing. The increase in sales was mainly due to more affordable prices along with some important & beneficial technical advancements. The newly emerged technology that attracted many parents & others was the video captured by the hidden nanny cam could be seen at a remote location. Parents could receive peace of mind by logging on to the internet at work or wherever they may be & see that their children were ok & that they were been looked after in a safe & appropriate manner. As the popularity for hidden nanny cams kept growing for the past several years so did the controversy surrounding their use. Most people who are against using a hidden nanny cam to secretly record a caregivers activities state the main reason for their objection is that they believe it to be immoral & unethical. I can certainly understand why people would take this position, as most would not want their own actions secretly recorded & feel others should be treated in the same manner as they themselves would like to be treated. I personally view the secret recording of a caregivers actions as an invasive & distasteful act, but sometimes we have to support & implement an unprincipled action because it is by far, the lesser of two evils. Installing nanny cams in our homes becomes the lesser of two evils because I also believe it would be immoral & unethical not to do everything possible to ensure the safety, security & wellbeing of one's children. I don't believe it is necessary to secretly record the caregivers actions in all situations. I also believe it should only be used for a short duration. A few weeks in most cases should be long enough for you to determine if the caregiver is or is not the right individual to care for your child or elderly parent. A hidden nanny cam does not need to be used for a caregiver who looks after an elderly parent or grandparent if their mental faculties are fine & they are able to fully communicate with you. A hidden nanny cam for a child may also not be needed, if the child is old enough to speak & can easily inform you about what is happening when you are not there. Instead of using a nanny cam you could ask your child a series of questions that can help you determine if the caregiver you hired is the caring & competent individual that he/she appears to be.
I placed a few questions below as an example of the type of things you may want to consider asking your child. Ask the child what type of things he/she did all day? What type of things did they do with their nanny? If it appears their activities are mostly without their caregiver, ask your child what the nanny does when they are not doing things together. Find out if your son/daughter enjoys the time he/she spends with their caregiver. Asking the questions above or some variation of them can be a very effective way to determine if your child is safe & is being cared for in an appropriate manner. We unfortunately live in a world where we cannot fully openly trust the people we meet, especially when it comes to trusting them with what we treasure most of all, our children. A little verifying goes a long way for receiving some peace of mind. I recently read over 60 articles written by individuals who disagree with hidden nanny cams being used to secretly record a caregiver's actions. I found many of the articles where the individuals writing them put forth very similar points of view, as to why a hidden nanny cam is not needed. To summarize their point of view; they basically felt that if people would perform thorough background checks on the nanny's or caregivers they hired, they could find someone so honest that there would never be any need to use a hidden nanny cam. I unfortunately find this point of view to be extremely naive. If this was all that is needed to find someone so honest, this would be a totally different world than the one we all live in. The reason why most people use a nanny cam is to err on the side of caution as this is the only way for them to receive peace of mind. It doesn't have anything to do with trusting or not trusting, it's about establishing trust & that is what the nanny cam helps people do. Unfortunately due to the society we live in, trust is established by the nanny cam showing you that the caregiver you hired is the caring & competent person that he/she appears to be. The established trust is undoubtedly measured by the peace of mind we receive, as only complete trust will provide complete peace of mind. In the articles I read there were several of them were the individuals had spoken out very strongly against anyone who would use a hidden nanny cam to secretly record the actions of their caregiver. I usually ignore strong opinions made by people who feel they have to attack an individual’s personal character to try & bolster their own point of view. This particular case is different as this form of bullying could persuade some people not to err on the side of caution & this in my opinion is not only irresponsible it is also dangerous. With strongly attacking people’s personal character some individuals could be intimidated & change their mind about installing a hidden nanny cam in their home. If the wrong individual changes their mind & chooses not to err on the side of caution, they could unknowingly be subjecting their child to further physical or sexual abuse. There is a short nanny cam video below that shows the baby sitter physically abusing an eleven month old baby. The baby sitter is a mature woman who was recommended by close friends to baby sit the infant & his two year old brother. The father states in the video that he never would have expected this woman to be capable of physically abusing a child. He had installed the nanny cam in his home for the same reason most security minded people do & that was to err on the side of caution. If this father was persuaded not to install the nanny cam, due to reading a couple of strongly worded articles that spoke out against using them, he would have unknowingly subjected his infant child to further physical abuse. Without out the nanny cam discovering the physical abuse when it did, the physical trauma may very well have escalated causing serious physical harm or possibly the infants death. If you feel that you would like to err on the side of caution by installing a hidden nanny cam, then you should do exactly that & do not let anyone persuade you to do otherwise. With recent technological advancements & security software, video surveillance cameras, including nanny cams, can be set up to trigger certain events when a camera of your choosing detects motion. Some events that can be triggered by motion would be some type of sounding device (alarm), it could be setup to send you a text message or it could also send you snap shots of the motion that is been detected. If you were to use it to monitor your home when it is unoccupied the best thing to use would be a couple of hidden nanny cams that covered areas that an intruder would have to pass through. Once motion is detected you should receive snap shots of the intruder by email within several seconds. You can have it sent to your laptop or your cell phone if it is capable of receiving email. Having it sent to your cell phone that you may have with you at all times will allow you to monitor your own home security & this type of monitoring will also rule out any false alarms. You would also get immediate police response once you inform them proof of an actual break-in has just been emailed to you. With the large majority of communities across North America dealing with a false alarm rate of over 90%, burglary calls are not priority unless you can inform police that it is not a false alarm. Since only 1 out of every 10 calls is not a false alarm the large majority of calls the authorities receive from monitoring alarm stations are not viewed as priority calls. If you are sure to have you cell phone with you at all times you may want to consider monitoring your own system. It is certainly a more effective way to monitor the security of your home than what the alarm monitoring companies can presently offer. The money you save could quickly pay off any hidden nanny cams you may require. This type of home security monitoring would work very well with a telephone dialer system.
