Nanny cameras can come in all shapes and sizes, and are sophisticated equipment. There are more variations than even a basic TV set, so choosing the right nanny camera for your particular situation is important. After all, once you've decided to protect your home and your child, why waste money on something that doesn't do what you need it to?

One of the first things you'll need to decide when choosing a nanny cam for your home is whether you want to be able to view that video footage "live", or if you simply want the camera to record internally, where you can then go and view the playback after the video has already been captured."Live" nanny cameras transmit your video over the internet, to either another computer (like one at your work or vacation home), and some nanny cameras even stream directly to your smartphone, like the iPhone, Blackberry, or Android phones!

If you decide to go with an AC outlet powered nanny camera, you'll never have to worry about battery life. You'll just want to make sure the device you choose doesn't look "out of place" with a power cord. For example, you can get a DVD player, iPod docking station, mantle clock, tower fan, or dozens of other common items that already have a power cord built in, to help minimize the suspicion, because people would expect these items to have power cords.
