Nanny Cameras Are Providing Many Parents With Peace Of Mind!

Nanny cameras, some folks call them nanny cams or spy cameras. These are small or miniature cameras that can easily be concealed.

These small covert style cameras are also sold inside various household products.

You will find them in clocks, clock radios, smoke detectors, motion detectors, stuffed animals, pictures, books & many other everyday products that you would expect to see in a home.

These small miniature style cameras have become very popular with homeowners over the last few years. Some of these cameras are hard-wired but the majority of them are wireless.

The popularity of nanny cameras is mainly due to more affordable prices & important technical advancements. Video surveillance equipment has been dropping in price over the past several years making it much more affordable for home-owners.

Technological advancements allows for live video captured by surveillance cameras (nanny cams) to be seen anywhere in the world where you can log on to the internet.

There are nanny cameras that you can make part of a home video surveillance system or you can purchase cameras that are stand alone units.

With the camera being part of home video surveillance system, you can view live activity captured by the camera anywhere in the world.

Many parents find themselves able to log on to the internet at work to view how their kids are being looked after at home.

Parents receive peace of mind when they can check & see that their kids are safe & that their caregiver is looking after them appropriately.

With nanny cameras that are stand-alone units you can view what the camera recorded after you arrive home. These stand-alone nanny cameras record video images directly on to an SD card or a USB flash drive. This is an inexpensive way to ensure that your children are being properly looked after.

Some of these stand-alone units like a clock radio have a miniature camera inside of them along with a small (DVR) digital video recorder.

The DVR operates pretty much like a stand-alone security DVR & the images get recorded on an SD card or USB flash drive. The DVR recognizes any motion seen by the camera & immediately starts recording.

With only having motion recorded & using a 16 GB, SD card or USB flash drive, you should be able to go a few days or more before having to erase or download the video recordings. This of course depends greatly on how much activity the camera records each day.

Many wireless nanny cameras get plugged into a wall receptacle using a (DC) direct current power adapter.

The video signal is transmitted wirelessly to a receiver that can be connected to your TV for direct viewing or to a security DVR.

The main function for a Security DVR is to record video motion seen by surveillance cameras.

To view nanny cameras & other cameras over the internet you will need to run an ethernet cable between the DVR & an internet router. There are basically two different types of DVRs.

There is the stand alone DVR that looks similar to a VCR & there is a computer based DVR that is comprised of a video capture card inserted into the motherboard of a PC.

For further information on these DVRs please go to my stand alone DVR or my computer DVR web pages.

If you are considering installing a nanny camera in your home, you may want to check with legal counsel or your local law enforcement to ensure you are not violating any laws.

In most places in Canada & the United States I believe you will find it legal to use hidden cameras for capturing video, but not audio.

I think the law of secretly taping conversations in Ontario, Canada is the same for the entire country, but you will want to double check this to be absolutely sure.

Ontario law states that you cannot secretly tape a conversation unless you are one of the people involved in the conversation.

In the United States it is only illegal to secretly record a conversation in 15 states but again please double check with legal council to be sure.

The 15 states are: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania & Washington.

If you find a camera that suits your needs & it has audio as well as video, you can simply not hook up the audio function if you choose not to record audio or it is illegal to do so where you live.

Most wireless receivers have both an audio & video output so you would only need to connect to the video output if the audio is not to be used.

Most security software that has been produced over the past 5 years or so can be setup to email you snapshots of motion that has been detected inside your home. If your cell phone accepts email, you can be notified if your home has been broken into instantly from wherever you may be by receiving snapshots of the intruder(s).

Nanny Cameras Can Also Protect Your Home From Unlawful Intrusion!

In a short CNN video below a Florida woman shows how nanny cameras can be used for more than ensuring the safety & wellbeing of your children.

In October 2008 Jeanne Thomas & her husband of Boynton, Beach Florida had become victims of burglary as thieves had stolen thousands of dollars' worth of jewelry & rare coins.

After this robbery Mrs. Thomas had a small hidden camera installed in her home & like many nanny cameras it was disguised inside an everyday household product.

On April 10, 2009 Mrs. Thomas stated she had a feeling something wasn’t right at home & she logged on to the Internet from her work to see what her hidden camera was seeing. Mrs. Thomas was completely taken back by what she discovered as she could clearly see that she was been robbed again.

This time it is being recorded & she is watching it happen from her work place almost 25 miles away.

To listen to her 911 call & watch everything unfold as it was captured on camera, please click on the CNN video below.

Most software that is used in both stand alone & computer based security DVRs can contact you by text message or email if any camera(s) of your choosing in your surveillance system detects motion.

This is an important security function as we could not count on having a bad feeling like Mrs. Thomas did & log on to the Internet at precisely the right time.

It was reported that Mrs. Thomas’s husband thought she was wasting money having the camera installed as he did not believe it would help catch anyone if they were robbed again.

With what had unfolded in the Thomas home on April 10th of this year, It was said that Mr. Thomas has come to realize how effective nanny cameras can be.
