My
name is Kenneth Lee, owner of SCS Enterprise Inc., d/b/a Spy Camera Specialists
Inc. First, I like to thank all the customers who supported our business for
past 10 years. If it weren’t for the people with good business practice in
mind, we would not have survived in this tough market.
Why
are good nanny cams so expensive?
Of course there are cheap ones out there, like the X10 stuff and cameras that
are shipped directly from China, usually found in e-bay. But we are talking
about spying on someone who is totally responsible for the well being of your
child while you are away. When you do it, you’ve got to do it right at the
first time and right away.
I get many calls from customers
saying “call me stupid, but I don’t know anything about nanny cameras….”
If you call a seller and if they will not answer or if they do not really
explain how all this work, you are taking a chance because their main interest
is money, not your child. A bad case would be spending your money on a system
you are not too sure about and when you get it does not really work, the worse
case then be your nanny suspecting of the camera, and the worst case being
firing your nanny and searching for another one.
We buy components from vendors
in Asia and we hide them here in various objects that will blend in at your
home. Yes, we can order 10,000 ready-made nanny cameras from China and
distribute it at low price, like Sharper Image, but nannies are not stupid, they
can read catalogs. Besides, we can make much better nanny cams, it just that
labor cost here in USA isn't cheap.
Know what you need.
Make it
simple. Some people ask for a nanny cam that does everything, such as Internet
viewing, 8 cameras to cover all your rooms, PDA & cell phone access etc. It
is possible but before you over do it please consider following.
2)
Can you monitor your child over the Internet and really do your job at
work? That seems to defeat the purpose.
3)
This is a temporary operation. It’s not like the movie “The Truman
Show”. You will know what kind of a person she is in less then 1 wk and make a
decision to keep her or let go.
4)
You do not have to watch her in every corners of the house. Place one or
two nanny camera in place where your child might be at the most.
5)
Place the nanny camera before or right after you hire a nanny. After
awhile, she’ll get used to the surroundings and it’ll be more difficult to
use the nanny camera then.

it yourself wireless camera at: http://www.spycameras.com/stealth_cam.htm
using with a VCR or other recorders such as DVR (like Tivo) to record. You can
also use a PC with software of your own or a USB DVR recorder at: http://www.spycameras.com/dvrusb.htm
but some computer knowledge is required to install.
Cost: $70~$300
Pros:
-Economical
Cons:
-
Since consumer based recorders cannot record upon motion detection, more time
& effort is needed when you review the recording.
- Cameras are wireless in video but not in power. You have to change the battery
every day or you have to plug in the power to an outlet. So you cannot just hang
it up somewhere, you have to hide it.
Multiple camera system
If you really need to install 3~4
nanny cameras, please select cameras from:
http://www.spycameras.com/intro-nannycam.htm
plus a recorder at: http://www.spycameras.com/recorder.htm
The
bottom line:
Nanny
cameras are not used to fire your nanny, rather to keep them for a long time
under your control.
Mishaps usually do not happen on the first day rather it builds up over time.
I guaranty you if you get the all in one system and review the recording for the
first day, you will get to know your nanny better than anyone else.
Thanks again for your business & good luck!
