Are Nanny Cams legal?

Courts rule in favor of nanny cams

It is now currently legal in all 50 states to use a hidden camera that record video without the consent of the nanny. However, the laws vary from state to state on whether you can record audio. Before taping conversation without consent from your nanny was illegal now before you all putting up excessive cameras and audio devices all over your property it is still always a good idea to check with state and local officials. bottom line..check the laws before you go IP crazy.

As we all are well aware of at this point. Nanny Cams are very small cameras, wireless or wired ip cameras, that feed into a VCR kept somewhere else in the house. Some more expensive models can feed to a computer at your work or to your cell phone. Cameras are sold in various household items to be inconspicuous like in a clock, smoke alarm, potted plant, or picture frame. Prices vary anywhere from $100.00 to $1000.00.
