Monitoring home and Internet activity
Batterers can use web cams and other hidden surveillance cameras to monitor their partners' activities when they are away from a shared home or at their former partner's new home. Web cameras are small devices about the size of ping-pong ball that can be installed almost anywhere. Images picked up by the camera's lens can be viewed via a web page, thereby allowing abusive partners to monitor activities happening at home. Victims are often unaware that these cameras exist in their homes because they have been discreetly installed.
Internet browsers (i.e. Netscape and Explorer) keep several histories of recent sites visited on the web. Survivors may not realize this information is automatically saved in the computer's temporary Internet file or cache file and batterers can access this file to discover where they have been online.
