Whats the best baby monitor?

Kelly Vibe

I am having my first child soon and would like a monitor that has good sound and picture quality day and night so i can make dinner ect and just look at my hand held monitor instead of going in the other room to see why he is making noise.

Answer
angel care, i get so much more rest knowing that angel care is monitoring my baby girl, it takes a little bit to get used to adjusting the sensitivity of the monitor so you dont get false alarms but its the best monitor out there, plus you can use it on into the toldler years when your kido sneaks out of bed the alarm will sound,

the alarm sounds if the monitor does not detect motion or breathing after 20 secs

there is not picture on this monitor but rather a motion detection system, when you go to sleep at night you know rather or not your baby is still moving and ok

Angelcare Movement Baby Monitor?

The Bucket

I'm looking at baby monitors and have some questions about the Angelcare Movement Monitor...so if you have it I would really appreciate some answers! It says that the monitor can detect when your baby stops moving, but wouldn't it be going off all the time when the baby is sleeping? Or is it so sensitive that it detects breathing? And how is the picture quality/night vision picture quality? And is the zoom feature good or does it just make the picture more grainy? Do you recommend this monitor? THANKS!

Answer
I have the angel care monitor without the camera, the way it works is that it has a pad that needs to be put under the mattress, it cant be used under memory foam mattresses it has a sensitivity dial to work under diff mattress types and to detect tiny babies as well. it basically picks up babys breathing and if they have an irregular breath it alarms at 15 sec to warm you with a beep, then if the baby doesnt move again in 5 more seconds it alarms loud to wake the parent and the baby.

Mine worked a dream i followed the instructions carefully and it was brilliant as it also monitored the babys room temp and warned me if it got too hot or cold. the sound was great. we had 2 false alarms because my baby was 6lb and moved to edge of cot where monitor didnt pick up her delicate movements but at least i knew it worked.

i wouldnt have been able to sleep without it to be honest i give it 5 stars, the monitor version came out this year and has been awarded best buy so im guessing its good as well.i would highly recommend it.

Is this an appropriate tank for a baby red eared slider?

ily747

I got my turtle around 3 weeks ago. I know that I need to increase the tank size as he gets older. As the weather increases i have an outside habitat that he can spend some days in supervised. ( he is too small to be left alone because of predators )

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii104/thinkpink13205/Flash2.jpg

Any things that I need or anything that i am using that may be harming the turtle please inform me! Thank you!

P.S I am using white paper so that he does not see the rest of my desk and get scared. Where he basks i have pictures of grass so he feels secure.

Answer
Looks like you put in a lot of work -nice, the paper is a good idea if he's skittish, over time most sliders acclimate to people quite well, The one in my son's room - 6 yrs old now - actually seems to 'watch' the computer screen - lol.

The water may 'seem' right because the little turtle is so very, well little - but in reality he needs as much swim space as he can get - at the very very least the water should be at least two times the width of the turtle in depth to allow him to right himself if he flips over. The gravel you can likely get away with for now, as he gets larger you'll need to monitor his eating of it and lookout for imapaction. Filtration should be stronger/better - even if you cannot afford to go larger he really needs more effective filtration - internal filters just don't do a good enough job with turtles.

What is the best recording software for PC?

Oleg

I have tried multiple recording softwares and none seems suit me.

I want to start a YouTube channel, but they stop me in that.

- Bandicam, problem is (for me at least) bad sound quality.
- Fraps, huge file size.
- Dxtory, crashes my game when I attempt to record.
- BB FlashBack, it has lag, can't even handle the game.

So I'm looking for a good recording software to use for games like CoD, Minecraft, World of Wacraft and such. It would be good if it provided lower file size (as Bandicam), free if possible, good quality sound/video quality + provides me good FPS.

Thanks.

Answer
There are a number of good "Screen Capture" recording software.. the problem is, most games lag or show hesitations on 'screen capture' software.. especially if the game of high quality like "call of Duty"..

You can remedy these by having a really powerful computer:
pump up the ram to max, the graphic card to max and anything that makes a gaming computer better to max..

while keeping the quality of picture lower, like setting the game graphics to lowest settings, and the quality of recording to lowest settings with standard definition SD instead of high definition HD..

All of which will produce a poor quality video..

To improve the recording quality, you may consider lightweight, simple or less sophisticated Screen Capturing software that require less system resources (less memory, less processor power, etc..) like FastStone screen capture video recoder http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm and CamStudio screen capture video recorder http://camstudio.org/ which are baby software in comparison with high-end expensive tools that may and may not work as you hope, like: Camtasia (the best software for screen capture video recorder) at http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html , Adobe Premier http://www.adobe.com/PremiereProâ and Corel VideoStudio at http://apps.corel.com/lp/emea/webinar/index.htmlâ ..

The problem is always that there is not enough resources for both high quality games and screen capture video recording especially if your computer is not up to the challenge..
and you may have to sacrifice the quality if you wish to use software to record the game..

The answer is going hardware.. what most gamers on YouTube do is set up a camera behind them while playing in front of the monitor or the TV screen..

YEAACH, I know.. but to produce HD quality picture, consider Hardware screen capturing devices.. and you'd need three things:
1⢠upgrading your Graphic card to the ones that support HDMI first (but read a bit about HDCP in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdcp )..
2⢠buy a good Screen Capturing device.. my experience is with Hauppauge HD PVR http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr2plus-gaming.html
3⢠devices like Hauppauge require a second computer or a laptop to perform the actual recording, but it doesn't have to be a high end computer.. my old laptop 5 years old with no 3D graphic card can do just that.. (just borrow your friends' laptop for a while, I hope its not a big deal)..

See the picture below, and instead of the Xbox being connected to the Hauppauge device, imagine your gaming computer is connected through that plug instead.. and the laptop is the second computer that runs the Hauppauge device..
Oh and by the way the TV is just optional.. you don't have to have the HD TV connected..

4⢠if you encounter an HDCP problem (that's why I ask you to read a bit about them)..
99% of the time, HDCP is not an issue while recording a game from a PC HDMI output but there is this 1% of the time that HDCP is an issue..
Most professionals remedy that by buying HDMI splitters that has the ability to override the HDCP protocol and cancel them.. or use additional professional tools like HDfury 2 or HD fury 3.. http://HDfury.com

And that's how professionals do it..
All the best.. and good luck

should I have accepted this Ebay return?

best picture quality baby monitor image

RichardG

Buyer:Hello, I purchased the baby monitor received yesterday. This monitor dose not work and I want a full refund. Please advise me what I should do. Thanks, Mark

Me:Does it work when its plugged in to the wall? Have you checked the channels?

Buyer:It works if you shine a floodlight on the baby and it still is not very clear, very unhappy, Sure dosn't work like discribed or the photo image on display.

Me:I'll see what I can do because I do not have enough money right now to issue a refund. Images in the picture are simulated just as they are on anything with a screen(ex: psp, ipod etc). The thing is, it does work, I do not own one of the cameras so I am not sure of the quality of the screen. The camera clearly does not have infrared which would mean that the camera would require light. It does work as described, but what it sounds like to me is buyers remorse. I gave a description of what is on the box which is "Baby Monitor" and thats what I would think I am sending out because of the manufacturer. The description does state that the camera requires 3 LUX (at F2.8), which is the amount of light needed for good image reproduction.

From the page:
Return policy
Item must be returned within: 3 Days
Refund will be given as: Money Back
Return shipping will be paid by: Buyer
Return policy details: Returns only accepted if the product does not work.

Buyer:I do not have buyerâs remorse⦠I just wanted a monitor that works as described, it definitely dose not. It dose not transmit clear crisp video or even close. I am very disappointed with this product! My neighbor has a different brand and it works great, I was expecting similar.

Me:Would you accept a partial refund of $25 and keeping the item? That is all I can do at the moment because of high ebay seller fees.

Buyer:No thank you I do not want to keep an item that doesn't serve it's purpose. From what you're saying the baby monitor should have a descent picture quality, and it doesn't. Not even in the conditions that you wrote either (3lux). I'm willing to wait a little longer if it takes to receive a refund, and I will pay for the shipping for the items return to you. According to your policy if the item doesn't work then I receive my refund. Point blank the item doesn't work it's defective. Now if you had another brand of baby monitor I would be willing to trade, but it seems as if you don't. So please comply and be descent enough to do as your policy states. Please foward your address.
Thank you.



What do you think????
My policy states that they are accepted if the item does not work.

He said that the item does work but it doesnt meet his expectations.

Answer
I would accept it, wouldn't want to have bad ratings and ruin my reputation as a seller over this one time the person is not happy with the purchase.
