Home Automation Domotica Forum Europe, Bwired Forum

My mother in law (95) is living on her own recently she is missing money from her purse/wallet and likely one of the employees delivering care is stealing.
What kind of technique is available to detect and register this ?
I have some ideas but interested to hear the ideas of this forum and it should be as simple as possible.

i would take a wireless cam, hide it and record it. i wouldn't confront the person, but take the images to the police and let them handle it.

- For 'easy', one of those cameras recording to SD is probably the simplest solution. Imho, hiding might not even be necessary as their presence might already be a deterrent.
- Paying everything with PIN as to not have money in the house (alhough that might not be an option)
- Access control, a personal RFID key for all people attending her. That way you can see who's been in the house and when.

Look that's a nice camera. It's worth more then the few euro's i got now from the drawer.
Let's take it also. I might contains evidence of me picking some low hanging fruits.
So my advise would be hiding that camera otherwise the blame you for giving opertunity

There's vandalproof SD cameras available as well. They'd have to make quite a ruckus to take those with them. At which point it would become closer to a burglary/robbery than an inconspicuous opportunity theft.

And if it's that likely they'll take it away, you could still combine it with an off-site NAS for uploading a constant stream of images to.
