Security Camera

Let’s set the clock back to 1986. You’re a working mother. After school, your five-year-old child is taken care of in your home by a babysitter. Lately, you’ve noticed some suspicious bruising on your child’s arms and legs. The babysitter’s explanations are plausible, and you can’t prove anything, but still…

Now let’s flash forward to this year, same situation. You go to your nearest electronics store or hop online and purchase a hidden surveillance camera for between $200 and $400. No more wondering. In a few days, your surveillance camera will tell you whether the bruises on your child are caused by normal rough and tumble play or by abuse.

This is only one of many uses of surveillance cameras. The elderly in nursing homes are also uniquely vulnerable to neglect and abuse. Some family members have placed hidden surveillance cameras in their loved one’s room to ensure that their loved one is getting the proper care. While this practice is still controversial, it does seem to get results. In New York State, for instance, the use of security cameras in residents’ rooms led to the arrest of 19 employees who had allegedly failed to provide even the most basic care for their patients.

Security cameras can also be used to monitor valuable animals. Some horse breeders, for instance, place security cameras in the stables. This allows them to remain in the comfort of their own home as they watch for signs of a mare foaling.

Of course, security cameras are also excellent tools for protecting your home. Suspicious noises can be checked out easily without putting yourself at risk. While the initial investment to set up a surveillance system can be costly, the peace of mind that comes with it is worth almost any price.
