To all our parents, children are our most precious resources, our beloved family members. Parents will do everything to keep them safe and to make sure that they get the care that they need. For professional caretakers, the most important thing is to let parents know that their children are taken good care of and secure enough.     We have all been terrified by the news stories and surveillance video-feeds showing the child neglect or abuse perpetrated by apparently trustworthy and qualified individuals. These days, parents are thinking twice before committing their children to professional caretakers. Infant and toddler care centers, preschools, and kindergartens have to work harder than ever before to assure parents that their staff and facilities are safe and nurturing, and that they continue to be so after they’ve kissed their child goodbye.

Nowadays, the worries of the parents have been disappeared, because the video surveillance can offer assurance for all parties in every childcare centers.

Over the past few years, the growing popularity of nanny-cams for in-home childcare surveillance has revealed devastating cracks in the professional childcare industry. Now parents are looking for full-time daycare for their youngest children, which become more often to out of the home professional childcare services, but the questions and trust issues that the nanny-cams spurred into existence remain pressing concerns for many parents. In the ultra competitive child-care industry, it is imperative to reassure your client parents that their children will be safe and cared for in their absence, and that in the event of any accident or staff misconduct, the problem will be recognized and addressed immediately.

Installing digital cameras with Internet Protocol (IP) technology to run real time surveillance in all of the public childcare areas can provide excellent assurance for parents, staff, and facility managers alike, because it’s not just the children you’re protecting. Live recorded video feeds present a documented account of observable events that is acceptable by a court of law. In the event of an accident or allegation of misconduct, the video feeds can be reviewed to determine if the staff is at fault. Given the extremely emotional nature of such allegations when they pertain to young children, it’s imperative to have such a record to defend your employees, or to root out and eliminate those employees who should not be working in childcare facilities.

Digital cameras with IP technology are amazingly easy to install. They are the “plug and play” version of security cameras, requiring no special wiring or tools. They can simply be mounted into place, turned on, and added into the facilities network via computer. The advances in digital wireless and micro-technology make it possible to conceal IP surveillance in almost any book, clock, fixture or appliance, giving facility managers the choice to either place the cameras in visually prominent places or to conceal them from observation. This is an important issue in childcare facilities, where young children might feel intimidated by overt camera observation. With easily concealed cameras, facility staff and parents will know they are there, but the children never have to.

Along with the video surveillance in children care centers, parents need not to worry about their children while they are not around them.
