I was the newly appointed principal in an inner city middle school. I was told that the school had been plagued with truancy, petty thefts, gang wars, vandalism, and other misbehavior. Because of this, it was difficult to hire and retain good teachers.
The district superintendent discussed with me the problems in the school and I shared that one way to monitor students’ behavior was installing a hidden camera with built in DVR in specified areas.
Every classroom in the school was installed ordinary looking wall clocks that were plugged into the wall to power the secret camera and the DVR.
We installed another hidden camera with built in DVR in the Exit Sign that hides the camera and SD card. A plug powers the light in the Exit Sign, the camera and the DVR.
We had two spy cameras inside the library. One was the desk lamp on the librarian’s table and the other one was the air purifier near the door. They were placed so that each can capture a wider area even after school time.
In my own office, the alarm clock that I placed on my table contained the covert camera and the DVR system. This hidden camera with built in DVR can be automatically activated when motion is detected.
I called all my teachers and encouraged them to help in the school’s goal to minimize misbehavior of students. I showed them the pen camera and the watch camera that they can use when inside the school campus. The hidden camera with built in DVR in the pen camera has also a microphone that can be easily activated like the camera.
All the recordings from these spy cameras can be viewed using a TV or a computer. With the use of these spy cameras, student behavior was monitored and the undesirable incidents were lessened.
