Legal issues regarding wifi wireless cameras

In the US, there is an increasing number of people who resort to a home spy cam in order to monitor their house employees, such as house keepers or baby sitters, or to keep an eye on their kids when they are left home alone. However, one of the first things people are concerned with when wanting to tighten their home protection and surveillance systems through the use of wifi wireless cameras is the legal aspect. According to the legal system in the United States, it is usually not against the law to record a person without his or her consent, as long as the video recording is in your home. Regardless, it would be wise for you to research the specific laws in your state, before purchasing and installing any type of camera in your house. If you want to be extra thorough, you can always talk to a lawyer and explain the specific purpose and use of the camera, just to make sure you are covered by the law.

First of all, you need to take into account the reasonable expectation of privacy criteria. While it is legal in most states to make use of a wireless hidden camera in your home, you can not do so in areas where people expect, and for good reason, to enjoy their privacy. These areas are usually bathrooms or even their bedrooms, if the persons are living in your house, such as the example of a live-in baby sitter. If, on the other hand, the nanny does not live in the house, it is then legal to make use of, let's say, a wifi spy camera installed in the kids' bedroom, with the intent of monitoring the nanny. However, if the intent of the video or audio recording is “malicious”, such as blackmail, then the recording and use of the camera becomes illegal.

Secondly, as far as the use of an outdoor wifi camera is concerned, the law is similar. It is usually legal to record videos with surveillance cameras or spy cams in public places, including parking spaces, parks or city streets, as long as the reasonable expectation of privacy is again met, meaning you can not video tape someone with a wifi spy cam in a restroom, locker room or even a hotel room. Recently, business owners have also started to use mini wireless cameras, which can be easily hidden, in offices, which is perfectly legal, as they are not required by law to inform employees about the cams. Even so, most of them do.

In conclusion, the general laws of the United States state the acceptance of wireless hidden cameras in personal properties, public spaces and office buildings, provided that the subjects are given their right to expected privacy. To that extent, people are always looking for the best spy cam on the market to suit their needs, as there are numerous makes and models with various features that serve different purposes and applications, depending on multiple factors.
