XP: nanny cam

Those of you who use a nanny cam, can you please recommend?  Also, if you live in a house do you put a camera in each room or confine the nanny to certain rooms?  Not sure how this works logistically.

 Please do not respond with opinions on whether one should have a nanny cam at all, I've considered the options already, but what I'm looking for here is advice on which camera and how others have logistically set it up.   Thanks very much!

Our daycare has a protected webcam that we love.  It's in one corner of the room and views almost the entire room (except the diaper changing area).  I would probably set it up like that in my house too.  Just one camera in the corner of the living room/play area where they spend 90% of the time.  It seems like that would be easier to maintain. I'd want to have 24/7 secured access to it online as well as the ability to shut it off when I wanted (automatically at a certain time?).  I don't know if these options exist, and I don't know what the options are, but good luck!

I don't have a nanny cam but we do have exterior cameras setup on the outside of our house. We bought them from Costco and they can be viewed from your phone or any computer connected to the internet.  They were very easy to install.

 I personally would put one in the corner of the baby's room, and ones in whatever areas she would spend most of the time with the baby.

We had two cameras. One in the nursery and the other in the family room where they spent most of their time. It was great. I have the foscam cameras. I really liked them

Make sure you let your nanny know she will be on tape. Im pretty sure ots illegal otherwise.
