Not during a comprehensive background check for childcare. There are 13 years old's with multiple felonies around here, already.
It will just come back saying "Not cleared" and automatically updates if anything changes before it expires. It won't say why although as the parent you would generally already know.

I have the same ability, a wyze cam.
I can pull it up on my phone, zoom in, and talk to the kids through it. With an SD card it records for around 5 days. Might be 7. And you can program it to turn off/on and record during certain times. Once there is no room left on the SD card, it just records over the oldest material. Within that time if there is anything concerning I can record a clip of whatever the incident was and save it in an album, email it, text it, etc.
And yes, it works wonders when using the bathroom! No one is unattended or unheard.Comment

Well, bummer.
You can certainly hear and see at all times with a camera. But if a provider is in the restroom in the middle of whatever, they are not going to be able to respond promptly, pending the definition of promptly. Quickly, of course! I think we all know how to have lightening fast restroom breaks :

Has any asked their licensor what the solution to this is? I am curious. Do they skirt around the question?Comment

Crickets. And a lot of I don't knows. Per usual. We have 30 days to comply. They have no time table to set guidance. It took over 8 months last time.Well, bummer.

That must be so frustrating for you. We just got our new rules last December. I had heard about the rules for over a year before and started to implement them, then found out that they were not ineffect yet. (which for some of the rules, I would have been in the wrong if I had implemented them.)
Then when they went into effect, I got an email 10 days before. We got the rule book a month (but the technical is not upto date) before I took the training course, 3 months after they went into effect.
Then the pamedemic hit and I shelved updating my e plan. Most of our changes were simple expect the e plan. I rushed to get it done before my inspection last month and I was told that it needed improvement. Then he told me that I had another year to get it done due to the pandemic, lucky me because if they had not given me an extension he would have wrote me up for it.
I am in agreement with most of the rules, expect I find doing the e plan to be difficult since I have never had training on what to do for a man made threat or experienced the after facts of a natural disaster.
Although today was interesting in itself. (We had an armed suspect less than a mile away with a road block at the end of our road, I had DCD come another route to my home to get the kids)
I do have tighter rules on use of a pack and play, which is a good thing that this board had talked me into switching to portable cribs before I knew about the rules on PNP.
Anyway, I would think you could use the camera microphone to respond promptly to the kids.
"Jimmy put Suize down" "Mikey I know you like it, but please stop tasting everything!"
Or back to my random thought list...
How to respond promptly while still on the toilet??
1. A robot with a monitor that shows your face
2. Service Dog with CPR/1st aid training
3. Remote control car instead of a robot
4. Movie magic
5. A stunt double
Okay that is all I got for now...Comment

A note from your doctor saying that your body needs to eliminate every couple of hours in private. LolComment

My regs specifically say that video monitoring is not an acceptable form of supervision.
We can only use monitors for supervision while kids are asleep and still must physically check on them every 15 minutes. We cannot leave the floor that the children are sleeping on so there’s no running upstairs to use the bathroom even while all the kids nap.
I was told by one of my licensors that if they arrived and I was in the bathroom with the door closed, they could violate me. Luckily, we have to keep the entrance doors locked so it’s not like they are gonna walk in and catch a provider using the bathroom. Just make sure the door is answered quickly when they knock though.Comment

Apparently, I am not.
If tested, I would just move everyone's plates to the center of the table, scoot back their chairs then grab baby. :confused:
Generally, I would have had little one settled in in preparation for lunch but they sure don't seem to give us any wiggle room.
I would love to see any one of them follow their own regs. I know they can't.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.Comment

THIS is why we have 3 year olds who don't chew their food and don't know how to take a bite out of anything!"Food for infants or children less than one (1) year of age shall be cut into pieces one-quarter inch or smaller and food for toddlers shall be cut into pieces one-half inch or smaller to prevent choking." - I do have one who will go ballistic if I cut his apples, pears or bananas.
