Nanny Cams or any hidden cameras come in everyday items from clocks to exit signs. They are easy to use and to install. Most are very portable and easy to move from place to place. The cameras require some type of ambient light.

1. Wired Nanny Camera - Wired nanny camera doesn't refer to the power cable wire that most hidden cameras have, it refers to where the video is viewed. A wired nanny camera has a camera hidden in an ordinary-looking object,  but is connected to another device with a wire to transmit the video. Wired nanny cam will usually transmit video to a DVR unit, a TV, or VCR.

These "wired nanny cameras" are not as popular as they once were, wireless technology has advanced and become cheap enough that you don't need to worry about running wires any more. It's much easier for someone to use one of the other two types of nanny cameras.

2. Wireless Nanny Camera - Wireless nanny cameras are becoming more popular because of technology.   The nanny cam doesn't need to have a wire connected to a DVR unit, TV or VCR. There still is however a wire that is usually needed to supply power to the nanny camera, because battery-powered cameras have a very limited recording life until they need to be recharged, which usually range from 1-10 hours.

These wireless nanny cams can stream your video to a few different places. One place is to a portable DVR unit that can be placed usually anywhere within 500 feet of the camera. This allows you to stream your video somewhere without the time of running a wire to the recording device. One of the most popular places to stream your hidden camera is to a receiver connected to your PC or router. This option is especially popular because it enables you to not only record the video on your computer, but also lets you stream your video over your internet connection, so you can view it remotely from places like your office, or even on your Smartphone.

3. Self-Recording Nanny Camera -By self-recording, this means that the video isn't transmitted via a wire, or even wirelessly to another device. The video is recorded internally to a hard drive or removable memory card. This type is becoming increasingly popular due to the ease of use. Owners of a self-recording nanny cam don't have to worry about running wires anywhere, or connecting anything to their PC or router. Setting up a self-recording nanny cam is as easy as turning the camera on and walking away.

When you are ready to view your video captured from a self-recording nanny camera, you have a few options. The first is to connect the nanny cam directly to your TV usually with RCA cables that come with the camera. This is usually possible on higher-end nanny cameras, because it requires more expensive components inside the hidden camera. The other way to view the video is by removing the memory card and inserting it into your PC. This option is popular because memory cards can be read by both PC and Macintosh computers, so you aren't limited to any specific operating system. This also allows you to easily save your video to your computer, or even send it to someone else, if needed.
