Before I move on to the other wireless webcams, I wanted to touch on the nannycam. Apparently these are quite popular with people who have in-home child care. The wireless webcams I mentioned in the previous post can function quite well as a nannycam. In fact, after my wife's maternity leave was over, I just left the camera set up. We had a baby sitter come in every day, and it was nice for both of us to be able to look in on our daughter from work. The camera was in plain view on top of a bookcase. The baby sitter never asked about it, and it never occurred to us to mention it to her, or the fact that we could see them over the internet while we were at work.
Most people who set up a nannycam are interested in concealing it so the baby sitter is not aware of it. While our camera could be hidden in a shelf ornament or a clock, X10 makes smaller ones that are easier to hide, and ones that they specifically market as a nannycam. If you are interested in that, be sure to check out the X10 site for it.
