Why have spy cameras in your home?

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

To see what’s going on when you’re not there!

Let’s say you hired a new baby sitter that a co-worker referred to you. You checked out her references and everything looks good, but now your children complain about her but she says everything is fine and not to worry. Are items missing from you home? Are there unexplained bruises and scratches on your children? Is the new babysitter having her friends in the house while you are away?

A hidden nanny cam will put your mind at ease or provide you the evidence to confirm your suspicions.
OK, the sitter says her “boyfriend” visited for a minute to bring over her notebook computer she left in his car and according to her “he was never in the house”.
After the babysitter leaves, you play back the hidden nanny cam and discover the boyfriend visited inside the house for 2 hours!
What really is going on when you’re not there? You can easily install an in home surveillance system that will link back to your computer. Better yet, install a LIVE ip Nanny Cam you can log onto from a remote internet connection.
That’s right! You can see what’s going on NOW!
There are various other applications for this technology. Such as, restaurants, schools, offices and daycare centers. Exterior cameras for your home, business and parking areas are also a good idea.

Setting Up a DVR Surveillance System

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Many times when you look up spy cams or hidden cameras you tend to just find information on single cameras that can be hidden to record what happens for later viewing. While this can be helpful for some, it doesn’t address all the different situations and issues for which people purchase this type of camera. In some cases you want a system with multiple cameras where you can watch the video in real time should you desire. In these situations, a DVR surveillance system can be just the answer.

A DVR surveillance system usually comes with a number of cameras, as well as the DVR with enough channels for the number of cameras, video cables, and a monitor. This type of system is great if you want to be able to watch multiple locations at one time since you can set it to view all the channels at once on a single screen.

One use for a DVR surveillance system is to try to stop employee theft or shoplifting. In the case of employee theft, you will need to decide whether to make the locations of the cameras known or not, since if the employees know about the cameras they might be able to avoid being seen by them and you wouldn’t catch the people responsible. However, the knowledge that they are under surveillance might be enough of a deterrent by itself and stop the thefts from occurring, though that would mean the culprit would go uncaught.

A DVR surveillance system is also helpful if you want to keep an eye on the caretaker of your children. You could place one camera in each of the rooms where your children typically spend their time so that you can make sure that the caretaker is doing what he or she should be doing. This is nice to be able to do in the light of all the cases of child abuse that turn up. You can make sure that you have made the right decision about who should be taking care of your children. You can also make sure that they are following all of the house rules that you have put in place, and speak to them about any irregularities.

The Advantages of Using an IP Nanny Cam

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

With many types of hidden camera, you have to wait until you get home to watch the video of what happened when you were away. This means that you find out about problems after the fact, which is not nearly as useful as finding out about them as they occur or soon after. With an IP nanny cam, you can watch the video any time you want from where ever you might be.

The main advantage of the IP nanny cam is the fact that the images are uploaded to an IP address, so you can log on to see the video. You can even set it so that when the motion sensors are activated you are alerted; that way you can watch what is happening in real time so you can alert someone if any action needs to be taken. This can be nice for people who are worried about their kids, or worried about something happening to their home.

You can get an IP nanny cam that is wired, or a wireless IP camera that has an antenna. You can even set up a network that includes a number of these cameras, making it easier to watch over a larger portion of your home. The cameras come with set up instructions as well as instructions on how to use the camera and watch the video that is recorded.

The IP nanny cam can also connect directly to your DVR or your computer to make it easy to set up the system and easy to watch the video when you are home. They don’t require much in the way of extra equipment if you already have a computer with a network connection, so they can be less expensive than some of the other options that are available.

With these cameras you can have a lot of peace of mind since you know that anything that sets off the motion detectors will be recorded so that you will have a record of it. This means you can use it for security purposes. You can also use your camera in order to keep an eye on the people that are in your house when you are not there, including either invited guests (such as a babysitter) or uninvited guests (including burglars).
