I currently do not have cameras never really considered it and I dont feel a need for them, but a parent brought it up and it made me wonder how home providers feel about cameras and how many actually have them.
Other threads about cameras.

I have cameras in my home. I have 6 inside and 6 outside.
I would NEVER allow a parent to view them. It would be a direct violation of privacy for other children/families.
I have them for liability reasons and to protect myself.

But as a parent, I would absolutely never, ever send my child to a daycare without cameras. It's my personal preference and one of reasons I decided to stay home. I just couldn't stomach the thought of being completely out if touch with my children.
So I understand the parent's desire but as a home provider I'd suggest they go to a center of the cameras are s deal breaker
This is a good example of why I would never allow parents to view or have access to video feeds.
