The numerous news media reports of physical abuse and theft against elderly patients in senior care homes has driven concerned families to install an electronic safeguard to monitor the care a loved one is receiving.

Home care hidden cameras guard against theft and physical abuse by entrusted caregivers visiting the home of an ill elderly family member.  Visiting nurses and service personnel have been caught on camera being physically abusive towards patients.  Acts of theft by service personnel and health care workers has created a greater demand for home care hidden cameras and hidden cameras for nursing homes.

The Benefits of Home Care Hidden Cameras

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Home care hidden cameras will guard and protect sick or elderly loved ones from being victimized by dishonest caregivers and service personnel visiting the home of a loved one. We’ve all heard or seen media reports about senior citizens being taken advantage of  by visiting nurses and caregivers families entrusted to keep their loved one safe from harm. I’ll never forget the story several months ago about an elderly patient with Alzheimer’s being abused and mistreated in a nursing home. Her son suspected physical abuse because of the unexplained red marks he saw on her face when he visited the nursing home. After his concerns were seemingly ignored or not taken seriously, he took action and placed a spy camera in the room with the same features as our home care hidden cameras to document and record video evidence of the abuse.

The benefits of home care hidden cameras such as our fully functional Air Purifier hidden camera with Built-in DVR, is that it features a motion activation sensor that only records when motion is detected. The camera is run through the air purifier’s power cord. Also, recorded video images are stored on a SD card that can be viewed from a computer or smartphone. Home care hidden cameras in nursing home will be just as effective at watching over a loved one and guarding against elderly abuse and theft. Families appreciate the value of having home care hidden cameras in either a residence or nursing home environment.

Why Families Need Hidden Cameras In Nursing Home

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

There have been countless news reports about hidden cameras in nursing home recording abuse of elderly patients they were entrusted to provide safety and nurturing care. The following information emphasizes the importance of being vigilant about the safety of loved ones and how hidden cameras in nursing home can help guard against elderly abuse.

Driven by a mistrust of nursing homes, more families are taking advantage of advances in surveillance technology and using video cameras to help protect loved ones they suspect are being abused or mistreated by caregivers.

Even some facility managers and law enforcement officials are now using hidden cameras in nursing home to catch workers who mistreat elderly or vulnerable residents.  No figures are available, but specialist in the long-term care industry say the use of so-called “granny cams” is spreading, though the technology is also raising a host of legal and privacy issues.

Just this spring, an Ohio man placed a hidden camera in a desk fan to catch two nursing home workers abusing and hitting his 78-year -old mother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.  In New Jersey, workers were caught abusing an 87-year-old woman, prompting a wrongful-death lawsuit in June.  In New York, authorities arrested 22 workers last year after hidden cameras revealed maltreatment of residents in two facilities.

Georgia Anetzberger, president-elect of the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse, said the spread of cameras in nursing homes is a part of a broader proliferation of video surveillance in society to catch anything from traffic violations to shoplifting.

“Cameras are used to catch people more than ever before, not just because the technology is there but because it’s more widely accepted,” she said.

For years, however, the long-term-care industry has fought legislative efforts across the United States to legalize the use of cameras, citing insurance costs and resident and employee privacy issues.  Critics said cameras would make it more difficult to hire staff and they also could misrepresent an incident.

The push to install video cameras in long-term-care facilities started to gain momentum a decade ago.  Legislation was introduced in more than 15 states, but only three-Texas, New Mexico and Maryland-adopted laws addressing the use of cameras in nursing homes, according to 2007 article in the Baylor Law Review.

In Texas, which approved the use of cameras in 2001, nursing-home residents and their families appreciate having the right to use the  technology, said Patty Ducayet, the states’s long-term-care ombudsman.  She said use has been limited, but she believes cameras provide a benefit.

“I really do think it is a deterrent,” Ducayet said. “I think it does have the potential to influence the way someone behaves and cares for you in the privacy of your room.”

In New Mexico, residents must be notified of their right to have a camera when they move into a facility.

“As it turns out, it hasn’t been a big issue from the providers’ standpoint,” said Linda Sechovec, executive director with the New Mexico Health Care Association, an industry trade group that represents nursing homes. “It hasn’t been something that is widespread.  I think in general, families don’t want to intrude (on their loved ones) with cameras unless there’s a real serious concern.”

Violett King, one of the leading advocates for using cameras, believes they are “the only solution” for family members who can’t be present 24 hours a day.  King founded the non-profit advocacy group Nursing Home monitors in 19996 after her father suffered abuse while in a facility.

To try to demonstrate the effectiveness of such cameras, King’s group recruited residents in more than a dozen facilities in the early 2000s.  The group offered to pay for the cameras, but the effort fizzled.  King, based in Illinois, said the homes often resisted or intimidated residents and their families who wanted to participate.

But King things the climate for cameras has improved.  ”I think people are more aware of what’s going on in nursing homes,” she said.

Not all resident advocates believe cameras are the best way to protect the elderly.

Harbir Kaur, an abuse-prevention expert with ElderCare Rights Alliance in Minnesota, said there are better tools: training, education and empowering consumers through strong resident and family councils.

Kaur thinks residents have the right to use a camera, but she is worried that widespread use of the technology would turn nursing facilities into highly monitored zones with less privacy and dignity. However, hidden cameras in nursing home has brought many concerned families greater peace-of-mind. With hidden cameras in nursing home, families can be certain that the facility is safe for loved ones and that employees are providing the nurturing care expected.

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

Many working parents have been wondering recently about what they can do to keep an eye on their babysitters or nannies, and how to do it efficiently.  Our hidden nanny cams with DVR are specifically designed  for in-house surveillance monitoring  and recording the activities of the child care provider or home care giver. security cameras for your home allow working parents to see if the nanny provides adequate care for your little one and there are no instances of child abuse occurring.  In the even of suspicion of child abuse or serious neglecting of duty and responsibility on the part of the home care provider it is the nanny cam recordings that can be resorted to for verifying the guilt or innocence of the concerned nanny.

What is a Nanny Cam?  A nanny cam is a video camera cleverly disguised as an everyday object.  So, where do you start with nanny cams?  The first thing you should know is what you can and cannot do with a nanny cam.

hidden camera equipment installed discreetly in main areas of the home will enable you to keep an eye on babysitters with your young children or even teenagers that are at home by themselves.  You should not wait until you suspect your children are being neglected or abused to install a nanny cam.  You should have hidden nanny cams with DVR installed before you ever leave your children alone with someone else to be assured of their safety. Hidden nanny cams with DVR or surveillance cameras are not only great for keeping children safe in a home but some child care centers now use them in all their main areas such as indoors and outdoors play areas and nap areas.  Having cameras in these places will not only give working parents peace of mind but managers, and workers will feel safer too.  Parents will be assured that their children are being watched carefully, and workers will be assured that there is extra surveillance for the children.

Hidden nanny cams with DVR usually come installed within toys or common household item.  Hidden nanny cams with DVR are concealed within an exit sign, air freshener or Sony alarm clock.  There are a variety of  hidden nanny cams with DVR covertly disguised as just about any every day household object. For example, our air purifier DVR  hidden camera can be placed in an area of the home or business that you may suspect unauthorized visitors or theft.

The important thing to consider here though is placement.  Make sure your camera is in a good location, so that you will be filming more than just someone’s foot.  Furthermore, interference can occur for electronics that made use of a similar frequency, such as cordless phones and other electronics.  The interference should always be minimal, but to make sure you have a good recording, place your camera somewhere that is not in line with another equipment that utilizes the same transmitting frequency.

Getting a hidden camera with DVR may be the best thing you can do to protect your children because you’ll now be able to see what’s going on in your home when your not there.  Many parents are deciding that having one or more hidden nanny cams with DVR is an effective way to ensure that their child or children are safe when left with the babysitter or if teenagers are often home alone.

Recording Spy Camera Images Will Go Unnoticed Via DVR Concealed Cameras

Friday, December 31st, 2010

The following demonstrates how surveillance technology is assisting business owners today…

Our employees are giving me something to think about.  All day long, our delivery boys are out delivering goods to our clients.  So busy at their tasks, all our employees seem to be.  But there is something that is going on that I can’t really explain.

I am not really sure if all their hours are spent in work-related activities alone.  I just acquired this company and now I have to make sure that all their company time is spent only for work.

The way I could determine this was suggested by a friend connected with a security company.  He informed me that recording spy camera images is the method companies usually resort to.

I will need to put in specific locations DVR hidden cameras, he told me.  The first one he suggested was the DVR Air Purifier hidden camera.

The recording spy camera can capture every event that happens in the office while I am not there.  It can also be remotely controlled so they will not notice.

The Car Key Hidden camera with audio can be used by my personal driver as he accompanies the delivery boys in their rounds to record their conversations.  I can assign him to do this periodically.  Even as the recording spy camera acquires their images, their voices will also be recorded.

The DVR Exit Sign Color Hidden Camera was also one of the DVR hidden cameras that he recommended.  This will be used for recording spy camera images of those who are coming in late or going out early, and loitering employees.

He also suggested the DVR Wall Clock Color Hidden Camera which I will put in the conference room.  I can see whether they are there for office tasks or just personal activities.  All of these DVR hidden cameras are easily connected to a computer monitor or a TV for video playback and all have SD cards for recording the video.

PTZ Dome Surveillance Camera

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

PTZ stands for Pan, Tilt, and Zoom.   PTZ dome surveillance cameras differ from a fixed dome camera in that it can move left and right (pan) or up and down (tilt).  These surveillance cameras can also zoom in and out, making it very feature-rich.  These domes require a keyboard and a receiver to operate PTZ functions.  Most PTZ dome surveillance cameras have receivers built in to them, however.  Using the keyboard, PTZ domes can be programmed to view an area and/or can utilize alarm triggers to induce movement by the camera.  A series of motions can be programmed by the user for the surveillance cameras to follow.  For example, PTZ surveillance cameras can be programmed to sweep a parking lot every 10 minutes.  Additionally, triggers such as motion detection or door contacts can alert the camera to reposition itself.

The total zoom capability of PTZ surveillance cameras is actually a combination of digital zoom and optical zoom.  Digital zoom uses electronics to zoom in and out while optical zoom uses lens motion.  The total zoom of a camera can be calculated by multiplying the digital zoom by the optical zoom.

Like fixed domes, PTZ domes often are smoked or otherwise obscured, making it hard for people to tell if they are being watched.  PTZ domes also come in a variety of configurations, including weatherproof and day/night.  Day/night capability means the surveillance cameras are color by day and black and white at night.  They can be mounted almost anywhere using a variety of dome mounts, such as pendant and recessed mounts.  A pendant mount allows the camera to hang from the mount arm as a pendant does on a necklace.  A recessed mount hides the entire camera except for the dome.  Cameras using these mounts usually are mounted in drop or tile ceilings.

PTZ domes surveillance cameras have several advantages over traditional PTZ surveillance cameras.  Domes can efficiently move in all directions, including 360 degree rotation and viewing straight down.  dome cameras utilize auto-flip to view something directly below it.  Auto-flip allows the surveillance cameras to rotate automatically when something passes directly below it, ensuing that the object or person remains upright on the viewing screen.
