All About CCTV/spy camera for monitoring maids

[valvestate]

I actually thought of this idea before when my kid was only an infant but I just didn't have the time to set it up and forgot about it. Now that my daughter's already 4 yrs old and I have the most trustworthy, alert, fast maid (she's somewhat a friend of MIL and was highly recommended) , I don't see the need for it.


I treat my maid with the utmost respect and care. We even let her travel with us when we went to Hong Kong.

i was just wondering, my maid has been with us for about 2-3months. have been thinking of installing a spy cam since the time before she started. But so far so good. Is it too late or weird to install now?

I would think an IP camera will be better instead of spy cam. Coz the camera is to inform her that you're watching her so she will not do funny stuff when u not around, spy cam is more suitable if u suspect she already done and will be doing something bad that you want to get evidence.

My maid is with me 6 mths, recently only i install the cameras, i told her the cameras are for me to monitor my kids, and i told her where are the cameras so if she wants privacy or change clothes she'll go toilet or kitchen.

So far she's ok with the cameras, she also help me to on the cameras every morning without me telling her. Sometimes she not sure wat ingredients to use for cooking she'll show me over the camera, very useful to both of us.

Hi,


I need some advice in getting some IP cameras to monitor my maid and my elderly parents.

Recently, a Vsecure company’s sales personnel came to my house for a free demo of ip cameras. He suggested to place a rotating camera on my shelf above the tv in living room and mount a still camera at my kitchen to monitor on live.

He even shown me on iPhone and iPad of how to rotate the camera manual, auto and even the preset mode. The image is very sharp and clear enough to see the face. The live streaming very fast even in 3G streaming. The camera can support 32 sd card to store recording. The motion detection is best feature I like as it able to take a snapshot when there is a motion and will auto send the photo to alert me via email.

They send me a quotation. The price is reasonable. The rotating camera cost at $288 & the still camera is $168. Total is $456 with free installation and configuration. It also comes with lifetime technical support. Dunno true or not.

Does anyone bought the camera from Vsecure or have any bad experience of this company service?
