Hidden Cameras, Nanny Cams, Spy and Surveillance Equipment

Sorry, but no you cannot. According to US federal laws, audio cannot be used in a surreptitious manner. An example of surreptitious interception is audio in hidden cameras. This includes pinhole board cameras and all covert or hidden cameras. Audio in hidden cameras or board cameras is only available to law enforcement agencies. (Title 18, Section 2512)

However in my opinion, if you are concerned about your children while in the care of others and are thinking about installing a Nanny Cam, you should consider recording sound as well as video. Adding a small audio microphone will do the trick. You will be able to see as well as hear what is being said to your children. No guessing involved!

Hopefully no one will ever strike your child. That is a given! The problem is that many times things that are said to a child are more hurtful than a slap! The pain of a hurtful comment can last for many years. The combination of a Nanny Cam AND Sound can clue you in to what is being said and the lessons being learned by your child – while you’re not there.

Children thrive on positive reinforcement. The more praise that they are given, the more they strive to please. On the other hand, children who are ignored or spoken to harshly withdraw or act out.

If you choose to make a Nanny Cam that records sound as well as video, you must comply with federal and state laws. Depending on your jurisdiction, you will need the consent of one or all of the parties prior to recording any conversations. Most states will allow you – the parent to consent to the recording on behalf of your minor child. For more information about the necessary consent to an audio recording, see the Audio Recording Laws article .

My niece started college a few weeks back in a small town in South Carolina. She is a decent student, but like many other freshman somethimes parties a bit too much and has a hard time staying awake in class the next day.
Anyways, I bought her an “All in One” Pen Hidden Camera with Audio Microphone. It can record both audio and video and is also a Flash Drive. Simply plug it into your computer to download your video.
Now she can go to class and record the entire lesson to her computer.
