Not necessarily true. I'm a live-in nanny, my bedroom is my personal space. Yet I found a nanny cam in my room during a trial period. Another family wanted to put one in each bathroom because they had a child that was about to start potty training and they wanted to make sure nothing inappropriate was going to happen. That included my bathroom!

I know this is an old thread, but you can find out if your employer has a nanny cam if your phone is connected to their WiFi. Most nanny cams today are connected to WiFi so the employer can pull up the feed at anytime on another computer. If you are connected to their WIFI you can download a network scanner app on your phone and it will tell you every device in the house that is connected to the Wifi.

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.

Not the PP nor a nanny but you are simply being obtuse.

Heard on the news, if you suspect a secret camera in your workplace, you should notify the police and they'll check it out.

Today a restaurant owner in Maryland got arrested for having secret cameras in "his" restrooms.

The same thing can happen to you.

Unfortunately you will find almost every job now will have you on some type of performance or security camera.

If you can't trust the nanny, you shouldn't have one. Simple.

Its not that black and white. Its the parent's right to know how their baby is being taken care of.

And it's the nanny's right to know that you may be recording her. You must inform her (by law) in writing, just like at any place of employment.

This.

I spend each weekend going through the footage.
That's exactly how I use it. I find my nanny so important that I must catalog her every move with and without my child.

Bored?

That isn't all there is to it. Does it need to be spelled out for you? What if you absentmindedly pick your nose? Scratch your butt, do something else embarrassing? And then you realize they had a camera on you the whole time. That would be a lovely feeling.

Cameras in private homes are only necessary when there is a reason to suspect a nanny of wrongdoing.

Why would you need to know that if you are ok with not knowing where they are?


It's the law that the nanny is informed that you do, or you may, have hidden cameras recording her, and you will not have them in the bathroom.


This.


Actually, the law depends on the state. Most states have laws against recording sound and video, and where the camera can be located, but there is no law in this area against a hidden camera.

That said, I think hidden cameras are kind of silly and would definitely tell a nanny if I had one. Parents can have cameras for any reason they want and nannies can avoid jobs where there are cameras. There isn't anything wrong with either position.

If the camera is wireless there maybe a way to detect its signal. But a standalone camera? Good luck
