Baby Monitor Poll

posted 8th Feb
Me and my husband were discussing this earlier, as of right now we have a standard baby monitor. Our 6 month old still sleeps with us, but when we move her to the crib my husband would like to either A.) Get a very high tech baby monitor (Camera, Handheld Video Playback, Able to view on computer/smartphone, etc.) or B.) Buy a Security camera system.

I think hes going overboard, because I'm okay with the traditional. We're light sleepers, her room is like 5 feet from ours, and we have a guard dog.

So what do you ladies have? (You can also put your reasoning for the option you chose.)

I clicked high tech just because i work nights and would like to be able to log on with my phone and see him if i wanted. Can you do that with those or do you have to be near the monitor?

I had a video monitor and hated it. It cut out constantly, then would beep and wake the baby. It also creeped me out, like the night vision thing and seeing shadows in the room, not being able to see properly etc...
I have gone through four monitors with two children. The cheapest plain old sound monitor was the best. I still use it.

I liked the video monitor but it wasn't high tech at all. We still just use a regular one (he's three), but there really isn't much need the last month or two, more a habit now.

I'm pretty sure its through wifi, as long as you have an internet connection you can log on to view it. Work, friends house, etc.

We just had a standard sound monitor for both kids. Same one actually, has lasted for 2 years with my daughter and another 2 years with my son. It still works but we don't use it anymore. If we had another child, we'd use it again.

I have never used one for any of my kids. Our nursery is right next to our room an I have never had any trouble hearing my kids. At naptime I just went and checked on them. I guess I am just old school and feel all those gadgets are just a waste of money.

With our first we had the traditional .. we lived in an apartment and didn't find spending a lot if money on a monitor necessary
BUT I am absolute getting a video monitor with our second. There was so many timed I wanted to know whether the baby was sleeping it not but didn't want to go in there and accidentally wake him up.. especially as he got older
