A nanny camera can be your best friend if you need to spy on how well your children are being cared for. Is the nanny abusive, or is your nanny being too soft on them and allowing them to be spoiled brats? Are your children listening to your nanny, or are they ignoring the nanny? Moreover, what exactly is the nanny doing when he or she is at your house? You should be able to take care of your children in the best way possible, and you need a good nanny camera that will help you do this.
It is fine to not hide your nanny camera as a deterrent to any kind of crime or deviant behavior on the part of your nanny. However, your nanny may find ways and means to sneak things from you, and your child could end up badly abused (or even the nanny could end up abused by your child!) even with the camera around. You may need to hide your camera so that you truly capture what your nanny does and when he or she does it. You may also want to hide your camera in a safe place so that your nanny doesn’t find it, and your child does not find the camera or accidentally knock it over.
You may want to position your nanny cam in a high spot, preferably by a corner so that you can truly capture a wider range of vision. Do not put it too high up or you can end up being too far from your nanny and child and have nothing to see. Do not put it too close to noisy equipment such as a radio or a radiator, or even a computer, which can interfere with the camera’s feed. The camera can also interfere with a computer, and this might give away the presence of a camera, so keep the camera away from electronic devices, especially those with monitors.
Cameras can commonly be hidden inside stuffed toys, so make sure that you hide a stuffed toy with a camera in a bunch of other stuffed toys. Try everyday objects that don’t need to be touched: you can hide your camera in a vase, in a clock radio (which should be positioned high enough so that the nanny does not reach it), or in a decorative figurine. Take note: you need an ordinary looking object that should not invite being touched. This way, you can keep curious hands out of your camera, and your camera still hidden from view.
