Recommendations for a hidden camera? (lemmy.world)

My mom is in assisted living and I have a suspicion that the staff, or perhaps a resident, is taking her money. I need something that won't look out of place and isn't easily disabled, maybe it plays possum when unplugged but has battery backup. Anyone have any advice?

She consents, however she's not mentally well enough to know she's being robbed. Someone has been taking her cash and tried to use her debit card. The bank flags it, cancels her card, then she has to wait 2 weeks for a new card. Her bank is a credit union in another state, so she has no money until then. I have power of attorney as of 3 days ago

If someone is attempting to use her card, maybe it's time to talk to police? That's illegal, right?

Yes but she gets confused. She denies people are using her card but I doubt mom would order something from tiktok llc
