Places to Hide a Nanny Cam
You did not hire your nanny or jobs for couple so that you could be in the same room so the answer is some type of surveillance system. These are called nanny cams. They take footage of the live in couple or nanny and relay the images back to you on your computer or you can watch the footage on a VCR later. You have probably seen this type of thing on Oprah. Oprah devoted several episodes of her show to nanny cams and using them to catch bad nannies in action.
There are several ideal places in your home where you can hide a nanny cam. One of the most sought after places is through a two way mirror. This is very James Bond. You will probably get lots of footage of your nanny putting on her lipstick and brushing her hair.
Lampstands are also an innocuous place to hide this type of camera. People rarely think that a supporting structure like that will conceal a camera. Umbrella stands, sculptures, busts of Beethoven or Elvis…all of these are suitable places to hide a wireless camera. You can roll tape and record or just always have the camera running in live mode and check up on what’s happening at your leisure.
A vase of flowers can easily conceal a camera. The same goes for a cookie jar, a garlic jar or just about any type of container that has holes in it through which a lense can discreetly peek.
One way to keep your nanny or live in couple on their toes is to simply install bullet cameras in every room and simply tell the help that you may or may not have those cameras running at any time. This means that they must be on their best behaviour at all times. These types of cams also are cheap, wireless and can usually relay back views of any room that you want within seconds. You simply view what is happening on your laptop or from any computer in the world.
You can be nice and also inform your employees that you have hidden cameras and just decline to tell them where in the house you have them.
The best places to hide a nanny cam are in the kid’s rooms and the living room. There may actually be privacy laws against having a cam in your bathroom and some trouble would definitely be caused if you hid a cam in the nanny or live in couple’s quarters. That would be an invasion of privacy.
