There are quite a few reasons why an individual might consider purchasing a spy camera. One might ask, “why on earth would I need a spy camera?” I asked myself the same question when I first read the information regarding spy cameras and the cost. But then it became quite reasonable as to why someone would invest in a spy camera. There are times when you need to know what might be going on and no one has the answer. It’s logical that you would need to know why or what, but someone telling you is not going to happen. So, placing a spy camera in your place of business, home or in any location where suspicious activities are discovered or may be occurring is reasonable and would warrant a recording device. Below are few of the top reasons why some individuals have invested in spy cameras:
Determine Why Your Water Bill Is Increasing
Several years ago a customer called his utility company after discovering his water bill was too high. He and his wife were the only two humans occupying the home. They both worked so the home was basically vacant the majority of the day. They had a cat that they left inside during the day but had no reason to believe she was doing anything. The man decided to check the house for leaks but found none. He was told how to check for undetectable leaks and he did this, but still found no leak. His bill continued to increase. He simply could not figure out what was going on. He decided to place a camera in the home to see if someone might be getting in somehow and stealing water while he and his wife were gone. That was the only possible explanation for the high water usage: someone had to be using water other than the the two of them. He placed the camera and several monitors around the home. He then had them set up to detect motion. After a few days, he decided to check the film and see if there had been any recorded activity. On his video recordings were the explanations for the high water bill. He discovered during the day, while he was away, his cat was bored. So, she would go into the restroom and begin to flush the commode. She did this until she became tired or someone came home. She was intrigued by the way the water went down the commode. As the water stopped, she would again flush.
Protect Babies and Toddlers In Care of Nannies or Babysitters
Parents may never know how their children are treated while away and in the care of others. Especially when those little ones cannot tell you what is going on. You trust your child care worker and place them in the care of a person you interviewed or was told is trustworthy or had references. However, but you have no idea how that person is treating your precious little ones when you’re away. In order to make sure you know how they are being handled, a spy camera will provide you with information regarding the care and treatment your child receives while in the hands of a non relative or even a relative. It will either guarantee your trust in the way your child is being treated or provide the details you need to prosecute or let the person go and get someone else to care for your child. Not everyone who claims to have your child’s best interest at heart really does. To protect your child before it is too late, a spy camera can be a life saver.
Protect Your Elderly Parent While in The Hands of Caregivers
Just as your children can be the victims of a none caring or horrendous caregiver, your elderly parents may also be victims of a horrible caregiver. You may never know how they are being treated if they cannot tell you or are too afraid to tell you what is happening to them while you are away. It’s best to know what is going on when you leave your parents in the care of a hired person. Not everyone treats those they are hired to care for in the manner you have instructed or desire. A spy camera will provide the details of their care while you are away guaranteeing you know that they are being treated well.
Monitor Employee Performance While Away
It’s not always possible to see what employees are doing while you are away. You might have some that are not as productive as they should be, but you have no proof of activities. Employee rights are a sensitive topic and if not handled properly, your employee has the right to sue. So, to be sure you have what you need to guarantee your employee evaluations are correct or if firing an employee is required, a spy camera video recording might be just the proof you need to backup their performance issues or non-performance issues. However, remember state and federal laws regarding employee rights are very strict. Before placing a spy camera in your place of business, check the employment laws in your state regarding employee/employer rights.
