I know they are two different things! I was wondering if there was something out there that would serve as both.
Answer
Well are you looking for a video monitor or a nanny cam? They are two different things.
I recommend the summer infant flat screen video monitor, and as far as nanny cams go I don't think you should be leaving your baby if you don't trust the person watching them enough to not video record them.

Nanny cams?

I'm having a hard time being okay with nanny cams.
I understand the arguments in favour of them (parents wanting to keep their eye on what's going on with their children during the day etc.)
BUT, it feels to me like a violation of privacy, that actually could/should be illegal.
Imagine putting these in offices, where someone is monitoring your every move at your desk all day long. What about in schools - would teachers be comfortable with being watched?
Of course, the safety and care of a child is of utmost importance to a parent (as I am one) - which is why parents themselves make the best caregivers.
When you hire a nanny, you do so in trust, or you shouldn't be doing it at all.
Does anyone else feel this way about nanny cams?
It IS illegal in 13 states to record or photograph anybody not in public without the permission of the person that's being recorded.

Nanny Cams are for the paranoid parents who think anything that is bad can happen to their child. I would never use a nanny cam or use spying techniques as well as I would never hire a nanny. Don't need one. It is my job to raise my kid, not someone elses. I understand having a baby sitter every once in a while because you need to get out, but too have someone take care of them everyday of the week, while you're off doing work, play, etc...... Isn't parenting at all is it? That's why I find boarding schools pathetic as well as military school. You chose to have the child you should be able to punish, love, take care of, etc...... If you can't do that then you shouldn't have kids.
