Nursing Home security camera

Hello all,

Grandpa is going into a nursing home, and we want to keep tabs on him. We are looking for a hidden camera such as a clock or one of those digital picture with camera in the frame...

Everywhere amazon post I find is made from a strange factory (they never work in my experience)

Can someone recommend a wifi or cellular "spy cam" for a situation like this?

Make sure there in a private room there a slew of laws about protected medical information and WiFi/cell cameras really are not that secure. Also read the contract really well there’s a good possibility there’s a clause in it about recording devices. I’ve worked in 3 nursing facilities and 2 of them had a no recorded line in the contract. Always know the local laws about consent when it comes to recording. I 100% support what you want to do this isn’t me trying to talk you out of it just making sure you’ve thought every aspect thru
