I do not allow outside toys in my day home except for Thursdays when they bring something for show and share. It goes in their cubbies until show and share time though so they don't play with it during the day.

Myself, I would term this particular family. Not so much due to the suspicion of the recording device, but because of the daily uneasy feeling you have.

I have always termed if I felt I needed to even if I needed the money.
