Baby monitor with camera?




Love


I'm having my first child in December and my mom and I are looking at baby monitors and we found on that had a camera and shows you a live image of the baby. My mom was pretty impressed by this as they weren't around when I was a baby. But they are outrageously priced! I think she wants to get one for me anyway, as this is her first grandchild and my mom's the type to spend way too much. So I was wondering does anyone else have these? Worth the price? Are they any good?


Answer
I actually did this, but I used a wireless ip camera. When my son was 9 months old we had to move from a condo to an apartment with no washer/dryer hookup. So I had to leave the apartment to do the laundry a couple doors down and needed a way to see what my son was up to in between loads. I agree that the video monitor setups are very steep. And something worth noting is that every single one I've seen on shelves is not a secured network. So that video signal is open for others to view nearby. I use(d) a dlink IP cam that is networked securely to my home wireless network and accessible via smartphone. It cost about 30 bucks and 15 minutes of setup and I was up and going. I've had this setup for almost 3 years now and it's been helpful. I don't think I've had any memorable absences, but it's a nice piece of mind to make sure my son was sleeping safely when I had to leave the apartment for a moment.

Looking for baby monitor that does not have interference from wifi network and blackberry. Recommendations?

Aware of Phillips model. Wondering if there is one that is not so expensive.


Answer
I have a Fisher Price 900 MHZ and we have a wifi network and have zero interference.

What we have is very similar to this, but it's a couple of years old: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/601-6545658-9279309?ASIN=B000I5RF8C&AFID=Froogle&LNM=B000I5RF8C|Long_Distance_900MHz_Baby_Monitor&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B000I5RF8C&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001
