Finding the right care giver was such a challenge for us in the very beginning so I opted to be a SAHM temporarily. I would love to see my child whenever I wanted but the thought of hackers &amp; child predators doing the same is really scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-daycare-webcams-for-parents#post-1203136 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 19:13:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1203136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaJ: No, I do know many that do post them online. </p> <p>Ours has a parents lobby with a large screen where you can ask to watch the room but its closed circuit so its not that accessible and can't be hacked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-daycare-webcams-for-parents#post-1203099 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:56:07 +0000 MamaJ 1203099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: good point!</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: hmm maybe I am just interpreting that they are online and it's not. Maybe they mean "we have cameras and you can come view them if you think something is wrong" type of thing. I will have to go back to the website and look and ask when I do tours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-daycare-webcams-for-parents#post-1203091 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:52:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1203091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours has cameras but they aren't available online. </p> <p>The other reason is student security and privacy. Similar to how they can't tell you the name of the child that bit your kid, your child could be targeted if a parent saw something they didn't agree with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-daycare-webcams-for-parents#post-1203084 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:48:40 +0000 Alivoo01 1203084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Seriously!!!</p> <p>Some places we toured had cameras, but were only viewable at the facility in the main office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-daycare-webcams-for-parents#post-1202944 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:41:18 +0000 Andrea 1202944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would worry about hackers and helicopter parents. I never felt like it was necessary and our daycare didn't have this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-daycare-webcams-for-parents#post-1202859 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:03:54 +0000 autumnlove 1202859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: Our daycare has the same policy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-daycare-webcams-for-parents#post-1202819 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:47:11 +0000 mrbee 1202819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get nothing done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-daycare-webcams-for-parents#post-1202812 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:44:28 +0000 pelikila 1202812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The daycare we chose does not have them for outside viewing, specifically due to concern over child predators possibly hacking into their system. Once I learned why they chose not to have them, I was just fine without them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-daycare-webcams-for-parents#post-1202707 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:13:30 +0000 MamaJ 1202707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have started to look at daycares for DS since I would like to go back to work soon. I have noticed many of them have webcams online for parents to check in on their kids. </p> <p>I am not sure how I feel about them. On one hand it would be great to see what he was doing during the day. On the other hand, hearing about baby monitors getting hacked it freaks me out a little. But I am paranoid :) </p> <p>Does your daycare have webcams? If so do you think they are beneficial? </p>
