I was anxious when my housekeeper asked for a one month leave. She was with us for the past 12 years and my 2 year old son already loved the way she cared for him. When I would be out, there was no problem leaving my son with her. But now, I had to find temporary house help.

Years back, I saw a film about a nanny in Hong Kong swinging a crying baby on her shoulders like the baby was just a piece of towel! I do not want my child to suffer that kind of treatment when I am not around.

It came to me then that a covert camera took the video. They are used as nanny cams by some parents. Now I knew what to do.

In order that the maid would not suspect it, I searched the internet for nanny cams that do not appear like a camera. The Alarm Clock Hidden Camera turned out to be the best for my objective. In reality, they are monitoring cameras used as nanny cams by parents who do not trust their house maids.

The nanny will not suspect because the Alarm Clock Hidden Camera looks exactly like an alarm clock. But concealed inside are a color camera and a mini DVR with an SD card to record what the camera sees.

Once there is a movement within the range of 20 feet, the Alarm Clock Hidden Camera is activated. The SD card then records the video. There is a masked area in the lower quarter of the camera provided by the Motion Detection Area Masking function.

Just hook up an RCA cord from the clock to a monitor or insert the SD card into the correct slot on your computer and you can readily view the recording. Remote control is also a convenient feature.

Parents need not worry anymore because nanny cams will tell you how your babysitter is treating your child even if you are away.
