In the past, families often reliedon home-taping systems. Instead, Smith encourages real-time viewing technology,such as the Homesight system from Xanboo.
“We’ve never endorsed a video-taping situation because we don’t believe thatchildren should be put in harm’s way until Mom or Dad get home," says Smith. Inother words, the goal shouldn’t be to catch a nanny in the act.
Instead, Smith urges the use of real-time systems that are out in the open.Just like professionals in other industries, she notes, most nannies arecomfortable with being monitored -- as long as they know about it. As one nannyremarked, “By being open to nanny candidates about the home monitoring system,it will freak out the bad apples and please the professionals."
The easy-to-install Homesight system provides users with real-time videofeeds from their computer, cell phone, or PDA. In addition to helping parentsmonitor a childcare provider, the Homesight system helps users keep an eye onpets or teens. “It’s also a great way for families to stay connected while Momor Dad is away on business," Smith says.
Homesight video feeds are 100% secure. While most wireless video camerassend signals to a nearby base station, making them vulnerable to interception,the Homesight system sends its feeds via power lines directly around the home.
