Sitter SpyWare

nanny-cameraInstalling a nanny camera can prevent your childcare professional from engaging in activities you wouldn’t approve of. Even when parents know the nanny or babysitter they are justified in their desire to for constant surveillance. There have been many instances in the recent news in which children are harmed by their caretakers; and no parent wants to see that happen to their own kids.

For families that have a regular nanny it is recommended that they let the nanny know they are installing a camera. A trusted nanny won’t welcome the surprise of finding a hidden video camera. Explain to your childcare professional that the camera is just a precaution and meant to protect them and your children.

What is a Board Camera?

posted by Safety-Number1

board-camerasBoard cameras are essentially just a tiny surveillance camera. A board camera viewfinder operates through a pinhole-sized opening. If they also have what is called a “board lens”, more light is allowed to come in and provides slightly better picture resolution, but a board lens requires a larger viewing hole of about ½”.

One of the keys to the effectiveness of any surveillance system is being inconspicuous. You can find an assortment of board cameras that appear to be clock radios and cordless phones, as well as many other hidden camera options such as a teddy bear, pen holder, cigarette pack and many more.
