A lot of security camera systems have the capability to record video as well as audio. The law is not well defined as to when it is legal to record audio. There are different circumstances when audio might be recorded. Here are answers to some of the pressing concerns and questions:
Scenarios:
# 1 A business owner who has a security system that has audio.
# 2 A homeowner who has a camera that can record audio and some security systems can record audio from the babies room.
# 3 Selling Security cameras with audio.
Questions:
# 1 Are these issues covered by state law or Federal law about using these cameras?
# 2 Does a business have to legally record their security systems audio?
# 3 What does the home owner have to do to comply with the law to record audio in their home.
Answer:
There are States that have different regulations about this issue, but most States are in agreement that videotaping a nanny without her knowledge is legal as long as there is no audio involved. You have to be very careful when it comes to audio. If the nanny is told about the monitor and agrees to it, it should be OK to do the videotape...
