Looking for PoE security cameras with audio for tutoring center
On rare occassions, I will get a call from a parent complaining about something one of my tutors said to their child. Since I didn't see or hear the conversation, it turns into a he said/she said situation. Our current security cameras don't always pick up the conversation I need, as they are too far away and they pick up all the background noise. Is there a camera that can be placed near the tutor that would do a decent job of picking up conversations at their table? I was hoping this would be a better way to do periodic observations for evaluations of my tutors instead of hovering over their shoulders. My tutors are on board with this idea, and our parents already sign a consent for audio/video recording when they enroll. We are also a one-party consent state.
I currently have Arlo security cameras, but they are about 8 years old. I've never been very impressed with their app.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
