Live Granny Cam Models

You want to make sure that your loved one’s needs are met, whether they receive in-home care, or live in an assisted living facility or nursing home. Many families use “grannycams,” which are cameras used to monitor caregivers. But while these devices might help families spot signs of abuse, they can also raise questions about privacy and dignity–particularly since, as this article by Senior Housing News points out, some of the most egregious cases involve both hidden and known surveillance.

While a nanny cam is a great tool to have, it’s not a substitute for thoroughly screening caregivers, regularly dropping in or calling unexpectedly and relying on your gut instinct. Before installing a spy cam in your home, or using one at someone else’s house, it’s important to check the laws in your state. For example, some states prohibit the use of secret cameras in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Avoid legal issues by choosing a nanny camera with night vision and two-way audio. If you want to be able to record videos for later viewing and sharing, choose a model that offers cloud storage or local memory. The AOBOCAM, for example, records to an SD card and has a battery life that lasts up to three hours when Wi-Fi is off. Plus, it has motion detection to trigger recordings and send notifications when it detects movement, as well as a built-in glass-break sensor.
