So...with the 16GB being discontinued, I'm hoping to pick up a couple fairly cheap and use them as the receiver end of a Baby Monitoring system.
I'm looking at wireless IP Cams (with two way voice) for the actual monitor. I was thinking of mounting something similar to this in the baby's room and using the playbook to tap into it via wi-fi.
Any success stories with this?
Just as an FYI, this will be our 4th kid, but it's been a while and tech has changed significantly since our youngest was located under that rock by the interstate. I was looking at just some sound monitor, but those are ~50 or more so why not go full out and get video also if I can use my PB to monitor it?
I would like to know as well. I member mentioned in another thread that they use one for just that purpose.
I'm using a second PB now but a more permanent solution would be good. Especially now that she is almost out of the crib. $200 for a dedicated video monitor is too much. If I could get an ip camera in the $50 range then it's worth a shot.
I use the tinyWeb cam monitor app (Android port) with 4 Axis web cameras to monitor the inside & ouside of my house. Works very well and has the ability to connect to remote web cameras.
Attached is a screen shot viewing 4 remote cameras around the world.
I don't know anything about the brand you're looking at, but I've planned on picking up a Foscam one, and going with their proven track record for quality. Our little one isn't quite old/big enough to move into her nursery, but I'd say we're within a month...
