Secret Spy Camera - Top Six Reasons to Get One

For years secret spy cameras were the province of government agencies, law enforcement for sting operations and James Bond movies. They were the only folks who had enough money to get and use them.

That has changed in the last decade or so with huge leaps in technology which improves capabilities and lowers prices to the point now that literally anyone can get one. Prices for some with audio, video and a built in DVR start at just over $100.00 and go up from there.

If you own a home, vacation home, business or rental property you should seriously consider adding a secret spy cam to your repertoire. Here are the top six reasons to get one.

1. Home Security-Everything from burglary and home invasion prevention on the outside to uses as a nanny cam keeping an eye of nannies, babysitters, older kids when alone and yes even unfaithful spouses on the inside of the house. Have a problem with neighborhood vandalism? One of these babies can catch the bad guys easily.

2. Business Security-No matter what kind of business you have employee and customer theft account for over 70% of your business losses. Anywhere where there is money, liquor, food, or fenceable goods the risk is huge that you are being ripped off. Even churches are at risk.

3. Sting Operations-Are you trying to catch someone doing something they shouldn't be doing? Stealing from you at home, office or business? Do you have an unfaithful spouse? Private investigators make their living using stings to catch the bad guys and so do law enforcement officials. If it is good enough for them why not you?

4. Maintain Property Values-If you own any kind of building-a home, a business, rental property or even a vacation home you are subject to vandalism, burglary or worse. One sure way keep an eye on it when you can't personally be there is with a spy cam. Many insurance companies give discounts for having a surveillance system on your property too.

5. Employee Training and Development-For anyone in sales or customer relations where body language and what you say and how you say it is important, a hidden spy cam can be an invaluable teaching tool. As a bonus it can document problems and provide documentation in legal proceedings.

6. Preventing Elder Abuse-As everyone continues to age, seniors in particular are vulnerable to abuse either in a nursing home or in a home care situation. Alzheimer's and dementia make seniors susceptible to a wide variety of abuses. This is one way to keep on eye on them and keep them out of harm's way.

Of course there are many other uses too but these are the top six. Most have internet capability too which means you can view from anywhere there is an internet connection. When are you getting one?
