What are some disadvantages of cameras in daycares?

The main disadvantage would be in case the pictures got into the wrong hands. Alot of strange people out there. If used carefully I would say there are more advantages.

This is what juries are for.\n\nIt is stupid and dangerous to take pictures of nude children that include their private parts with or without consent, with the possible exception of one's own children (even that has led to threats of prosecution -- stupid but true).

I was going to suggest that you always be in same room as child when she is on-line, that way you can monitor where she is going much better.  Do know of Nanny Watch and other filters that parents  use also, but once kids get a little older they usually have how to get around them figured out.  It's sad that little ones have to be exposed to such things when they are truly only looking up things that interest them then get on some porn page that just because it has the word directs them there.  These machines aren't that great afterall.

Well, visual tracking is sort of broad.  Depending on the child it could be just following a line, following a line of print (such as in a book), tracing something, or copying something from the board onto your paper.

If you're talking about e-commerce on websites I think a disadvantage is the difficulty in satsifying customers.  Viewing product details, shopping carts and checking out all have to be very intuitive and if they're not you could lose a customer very easly.  I think customer satisfaction is much more important (and easier to lose) on an ecommerce website than regular one.

my friend screening wont help you. Screening just means that they HAVENT BEEN CAUGHT yet. You wanna good place, find someplace that has internet cameras and a password site that allows you to log in and SEE the daycare anytime of day that you want to. Because when people KNOW theyre being watched, they arent as prone to hurt your child who is too young to even KNOW its being hurt - anything an adult does they assume is correct because THATS an adult. Most kids wont even realize what has occured is wrong and you will never hear about it.\n\nFind one with password protected cameras so that only those who are parents of those who attend the facility can view the images, theyre are many.\nALSO find one that allows you to SHOW UP UNannounced.\n\nALOT OF PLACES act one way when they know youre coming by and then when youre gone, become Mr. Hyde.

No they don't.  But you can use software to make the camera take snapshots at certain time intervals.

Unfortunately, too many problems will result because of camera phones and recording technology in a hand-held device.\n\nI worked construction a few years ago and we built a full-service atlhetic club with shower/locker rooms.  A couple months after the place opened, I had to go back to the job to place 1' x 2' signs by the entrances to both the male and female locker rooms stating that camera phones were prohibited.\n\nWhile my brother uses one for work as he is in sales for a moving company and uses it to take pics of valuable items for the moving family so there is evidence for both ends on possesion, it is being used way too often for deviant activities, and I'm sure that was not the original intent of the creator's

It's okay to photograph them when they are in a public area, like award shows etc.  But if they are w/ their kids are just trying to have a lunch or having an intimate moment that's not cool.

There is a high need for daycare in the US because so many families have two parents that work.  Someone has to watch the children while the parents are at work unless there is an older child to care for them until mom or dad come home.

Well, it's not as if the media is filming you in your home, is it?  If you are in a public place, you are exposed to public recordings.  If I were you, I would worry MUCH more about the dozens of times per day you are recorded on CCTV rather than the random and infrequent act of being caught by a BBC camera crew...

In urban areas it's more than 300 times; maybe not 300 cameras. I cannot leave my house without passing under one that I know is a dummy; but there are real ones a few steps further on. I can't walk into a shop or a bank or a post office without being recorded.\n\nAnd there are special cameras to record license plates for congestion charging, for speed enforcement, for bus lane enforcement. There are cameras in the buses to record yob behavior and at intersections to check for traffic problems.\n\nMandatory ID cards are next.

because you can't take a picture with a wooden leg you need a camera

They probably are not allowed to put cameras in bathrooms at all; more generally they probably are allowed to put cameras and recording devices up if they tell you they are doing so.  Some of this depends on your state's law.  Some of it may depend on what your contract or company policy manual says, but it may not.\n\nGive your local ACLU a call and see what they say.

Schools are under jurisdiction of all kinds of rules besides those found in state, county or municipal statutes or ordinances\n\nIt is highly unlikely a rule exists to prohibit placing dummy signs, or dummy cameras, but your local school administrators can best advise you.\n\nYahoo answers are not reliable concerning specific situations.\n\nConsult your supervisor(s) before taking action.
