Getting Cameras, Need Wording

[daycare]

It depends on your DVR. I would simply tell the parent it does not save footage that long.

Ok I forgot the name of it, I am buying it from Costo....

Then I would tell them - My camera system will be in place to protect all parties involved. However, it is not a means to be abused. Parents may only request to view captured footage if there's a serious concern. Any requests to view footage will be granted at my discretion.

Something like this. I would include this on the permission form

Could that be a confidentiality issue? I don't know what your rules are, but in WI we have to document injuries but can't name two children in one entry. For instance, "Jane bit John..." is a no-no, but "Jane bit another child..." and "John was bitten by another child..." is OK. Parents can only see the entries that pertain to their own child, so John's parents couldn't see who bit him. If I show parents a video of the incident they'd see Jane biting John, then I'd get in big trouble with my licensor.

I guess it depends on your state, mine is fine. I don't think many parents would question an incident between kids. I got it mostly to explain injuries the child did to themselves. Also, to protect me and prove the care being provided. At any rate, you could simply add that to the permission slip. Allowing both parties to view the footage. Centers do it, why can't we?
