I recently got a full time job after working part time for many years. As a single parent, I chose to spend more time with my growing children. Getting a reliable nanny to look after the kids was the next thing to do.

My older sister in another state told me to buy nanny cameras to make sure my kids are taken care of well when I was at work. She bought board cameras that her husband mounted in a clock and in a picture frame. So far they worked effectively.

I visited the website she recommended and learned about these minute spy cameras that I can hide any place of my choice. Their small size can make them really inconspicuous yet very sensitive.

One model is the High Resolution CMOS Camera with Audio. I planned to hide one in one of my kids’ stuffed toys or in a picture frame. With this, I did not need to buy nanny cameras since I could easily install the board cameras myself.

The Black and White Closed Board Camera is another type that is enclosed in a metal housing. Its six LEDs can be used at night or when there is no illumination. It is compatible with most TVs and VCRs and has low power consumption.

To ensure that my children are in safe hands, I installed three board cameras in different locations in the house: one in a teddy bear’s eye in the bedroom, one in the cupboard in the dining area, and one in a flower vase in the living room.

I preferred these bare unit cameras than having to buy nanny cameras since I can choose where to hide and install them.

It is still fine to buy nanny cameras, but you would miss the fun of installing spy cameras yourself in the most inconspicuous things in the house. With the high resolution CMOS cameras I set up, I can always check on my children.
