What is my grandmother?
Granny Cam, also known as Granny-Cam and Grannycam, is a popular term for the camera that is set up to watch older people and the care they receive. The term usually refers to a hidden camera that records or provides a lively source of older people either in their own house or in a nursing home. Those who install the Grandmother CAM are often relatives of the elderly and install a camera that cares will reveal neglect or abuse of the elders. The installation of hidden cameras was criticized, especially some of the nursing home sectors who believe that hidden cameras are invasion of privacy for employees and residents in nursing homes. Instead, supporters of this technology consider CAM to be a necessary tool to prevent and discover abuse. It is often connected to the Internet and allows monitoring in real time from another location. Grandma's cams can also be separately, which means they are not connected to the Internet and store recorded data on memorylta or similar facilities. The so -called complete tracking systems are sometimes used as grandmothers and usually include a digital video recorder, several cameras and monitors.
Like the so -called Cams nannies used to monitor children's care for young children, grandmother cams are used to monitor the care of vulnerable people who are sometimes unable to communicate properly with others. The laws and regulations that apply to the use of grandmothers' cams differ in various jurisdictions. Visible cameras are often legal if the elderly person and other people are able to consent to their use and some nursing devices even use their own cameras to provide peace and security for seniors and their families.
With the grandmother of the cam in areas where privacy, such as the bathroom of the bedroom, can be adequately expected, is more problematic, especially if the camera is also hidden. OftenAnd the installation of hidden cameras is illegal and considered to be an invasion of privacy without the consent of the recorded individuals. Cameras that record sound can be particularly problematic due to laws against illegal eavesdropping and eavesdropping. In an environment with a nursing home, a hidden grandmother in a private room can be considered an invasion of the privacy of the elderly and employees. One way to avoid legal problems is to obtain consent from the elderly and carers.
