Inhome CCTV for kids

sticker

Hi All,

I heard good reports about this item here:

EDIT - Or this:

I work from home and am looking to have a camera to keep an eye on the kids while working in a converted attic.

Any suggestions? Preferable good quality and something that might stream to a PC.

Thanks.

My advice would be that without consent, you won't be able to use it if they have friends in, you could end up in very deep stuff ...
I am not certain of the legal position but you can join the dots.. I certainly wouldn't do it when their friends were in.

I would not be using it with their friends in playing - simply to do as I posted, to keep an eye when I'm out of the room!

I'm not looking to get into privacy issues in my own home!!

There is a huge market for this type of requirement in home automation, I'm looking for advise on which is best... That's why I'm here!

No need to be so aggressive.

I was only offering a friendly opinion as most of us do here.

Keep well and good luck

Zero aggression there mate. Lets see about keeping on track whats requested on a thread as opposed to posting privacy issues on a CCTV board.

Have a wonderful day!

Might be a good ideea but i am "afraid" to click on those links as soon after i close the tabs ... i ill be flooded with "January Sales offers" from ebay & HN based cookies in my browser !

So,you are home and want to watch the kids in the attic ? Why will you do that .. they are too small or too big to be alone ?
Did you chat with them,how do they feel about the camera,ar they ok or they will / may start behaving different knowing that the camera is there.

Im coming from a similar position when my son wanted to walk alone to school. Condition was phone and GPS tracker.He agreed and even today,long time since,he is carying in the jacket the traker.

I would ignore this advise as it's a bit misleading and suggests that you are up to no good in your own home you are entitled to record in your own home with fear of prosecution . I am certain of the legal position and if people are not well keep your unless advice to your self
