Generally speaking, you have the right to record video in all public spaces without need of consent. ... Recording video on private property, though, is up to the discretion of the property owner, private security, or police, but secret video recordings are illegal on all private property in some states, like California.


ERGO: MAKE SURE THE VIDEO CAMERA IS OBVIOUS and NOT SECRET

We have cameras all over our house. We use them daily to watch our three kids if we're not in the same room. They're out in the open and are not hidden. We haven't told any sitters about them because they are out in the open and are obvious. None are in bathrooms or places where privacy would be expected.

Is it legal?

No, it is not legal in my state - you would need to check Virginia law on sound and image. But why would you want to not inform an employee that he/she is being recorded?

It is legal in EVERY STATE. Stores have CCTV's. Its deceptive nannies like you that give all of us a bad name.

Stores in California don’t have cameras with sound unless they have a sign saying they are monitored. I am not a nanny, so your bad name is all your own.

Our nanny, who is amazing, requested cameras in our home.

The majority of workplaces and homes now have cameras. I cannot think of one place in the past 20+ years I've worked where we don't have camera's. We have them in our home. Its nice to make sure things are ok, especially when I'm home alone and hear a bump in another part of the house or to monitor the kids.

I have no idea where you work, but never in the last 20 years have I worked somewhere where we did have cameras. We also have no nanny cameras in our house because we trust our nanny. But we also don't have any smart speakers or other smart appliances. I know people who monitor their home cameras at work, then call the nanny to ask about something they're doing. I think it's nuts and I would never be able to work in a situation like that.

Every workplace has to inform employees if there may be a recording device in the workplace.

As a nanny, I have had my shirt pulled on many times; occasionally wear skirts in the summer but will still ‘airplane’ children; have to make personal phone calls during nap time; etc. Personally, I would quit immediately if I found out that you were recording me without my consent. I completely understand wanting to make sure your babies are safe but you should be able to do that through disclosed cameras and interactions with your nanny. Additionally, I would have no problem with cameras in the house, so long as I am aware.
