Nanny Camera
So you have new nanny now. You are afraid leaving your baby alone with your nanny. You need to know that your nanny treat your baby well. Then you need a nanny camera so you can monitor your nanny’s activities.

If you want a new nanny camera but can’t afford to buy it, you can create by yourself. What you need in order to create your nanny camera are:
1. PC (Personal Computer)
2. Webcam
3. USB cable extensions (10m)
4. Recording Software
5. That’s it

As long you have your own PC, this DIY nanny camera is less expensive than buying a new one. The idea is just extend your web cam cable so you can hide your camera, and place the PC in other room.

Webcam is cheaper of course it has low quality than nanny camera. You can get webcam under 100 bucks. Buy webcam that include recording software at their pack. You can download open source recording software if your webcam manufacturer doesn’t provide recording software.

You should place a webcam at hidden location so your nanny doesn’t know that she is being watched. Then you can monitor from other room, or if your PC is connected to internet you can access your camera from the internet.
