There are various types of surveillance cameras that may be used for this purpose. Many are small enough to place in regular household objects, such as a clock or bookcase. The same concept can be used for a resident’s room in a nursing home.
Surveillance cameras, depending on the type and quality of the camera, may transmit live feed in color or black and white. Some cameras may record in color in brighter light and then switch to black and white in lower light situations.
Granny – or nanny cams, as they are also called – may be exposed or hidden. There are four standard types of surveillance cameras that may help you monitor your elderly loved one, including:
IP Security Cameras
Hard-wired cameras
Wireless surveillance cameras
Memory card (SD) Security Camera
What you may or may not be able to use in your loved one’s nursing home room depends on various factors. For instance, whether there is an available Wi-Fi or a hardwired internet connection.
