Hidden camera detector

[Anonymous]

Although I am fine with cameras that my employers tell me about I just do not trust someone who would secretly tape me. I would consider it a reflection of their regard for human dignity in general, not just a desire to protect children. Disclosing the camera will turn away any perverts who want to harm kids. A lazy nanny who plans to watch tv all day will go elsewhere. Choosing not to disclose it just gives them a special show at my expense.

Does anyone have recommendations for a camera detector? I just came across an iPhone app and have found several models under $100. Would love to know about other peoples experience before I buy.

Would love to hear about the iPhone app!

Most jobs have camera's. At my job they are clearly in the office and no one thinks twice. Assume they are there or find another job.

Why does this have to continually be said? It is NOT the same. At your job, is there only one person who knows where the cameras are? Is there only one person allowed to review the footage? Are there no protocols for viewing the footage and what actions are taken if something isn't right? If it is learned that someone is being inappropriate with the cameras, are you comfortable in knowing that said person will be severely punished? A nanny being secretly filmed by her employer has none of these protections. Her employer could put a camera anywhere, and she wouldn't know. They could do whatever they like with the footage, and she will likely never know. They could misconstrue the footage, and fire her without warning or reason. And finally even if she does find out about inappropriate use of the cameras, the justice process would be long, expensive, and even with the best of outcomes, still leaves HER the victim out of a job. Don't secretly tape your nanny. It's messed up.

I really doubt the iPhone app works

The app was developed by a security company that sells nanny cams, among other surveillance equipment.

Seriously, you need to be told the difference between conspicuous cameras in the workplace with notice to the employees and a covert surveillance system with no notice? Seriously?

Don't do anything inappropriate and you won't have anything to worry about.

That's what you gleaned from my post? You can't address any of my actual points? I gave you plenty of reason why a great nanny with half a brain might be leery of SECRET cameras. If you're not transparent, I can't trust you.

If you're worried about getting caught on camera doing something inappropriate I can't trust you either. Don't do anything inappropriate and you won't have to worry about being a victim. It works great for everyone.

NP here. You are quite the uninformed drama queen, PP. Let's educate you.

At your job, is there only one person who knows where the cameras are?
No. There are many people who know where the cameras are at. Any of these people have access to the feed. Your point?

Is there only one person allowed to review the footage? No. There are several people who can have access to the footage. Sounds like my situation is a lot scarier than yours.

Are there no protocols for viewing the footage and what actions are taken if something isn't right? There are a few protocols, but not many. There are no actions taken "if something isn't right". The footage stands on its own. If I have an issue with it, we litigate.

If it is learned that someone is being inappropriate with the cameras, are you comfortable in knowing that said person will be severely punished? This is laughable. No one is severely punished if you don't like how they use the footage.

You really are pretty stupid, PP.

Well John Hopkins paid over a hundred million dollars to settle a lawsuit involving a hidden camera that was planted by an employee. What are the odds your nanny will get a similar settlement if you put cameras in the bathroom?? Annnnd, that is why undisclosed cams are an issue. If you have to hide it then you are probably hiding something else.

Yes, there are only certain people who review the footage and yes there are hidden or barely detectable cameras everywhere. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about. Why are you so insecure?

So you illustrate exactly my point with your answers (in an office setting no one person has complete control over the cameras and footage and everyone is subject to answer to someone else) and then you call me stupid? People who need to lower themselves to name calling are typically those unable to make a sound argument. But continue displaying your "intellect" while calling me names.

I'm going to say this one more time, very slowly and simply, try to listen. The problem with a SECRET nanny cam is not what you may catch me doing (though that is awkward given I'm not typing at a computer), the problem is that there is no oversight. No one is there to make sure YOU aren't doing anything inappropriate. There are cameras everywhere, but there are laws that govern their use. How can I be sure those laws are being followed in your home? I can't be and that's why if I find one, I will quit, after I've searched the place up and down for any others.
