iphone baby monitor

I know I have read about this before, but for the life of me I can't find the post...

For those of you who have iPhones, iPods, iPads, etc., what baby monitor do you use that works well with them?  We are going to be putting our home up on the markets soon too, so in addition to a baby monitor, we are looking for "home surveillance" as well.  It would be exceptionally helpful if there was a way to record what the camera was seeing as well, just for my own paranoia!

Thank you!

We plan on getting the dropcam. Came highly recommended. 

Sorry, safari won't let me link, but here it is on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Dropcam-Wi-Fi-Wireless-Monitoring-Camera/dp/B006P88VSE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362014815&sr=8-1&keywords=dropcam

We have an old iPhone we plan on using at home as a dedicated handset as well.  

 

I don't know if you r seen this, but here is a blog entry I was referred to about using a security camera as a monitor. I found it helpful.

We have the dropcam, too. One word of caution, though, the app only works with iOS 6 and above. I haven't upgraded my iPhone 4S because I have heard that the newer OS kills performance. It doesn't bother me too much, though. I mostly use the computer or my DH's phone to check on DS anyway. I figure I will talk DH into upgrading my phone so that I can use the app.

we bought a fosca.m on am.azon for about $80 bucks and use a free iPhone app with it. it works perfectly and we can access it from our iPhones, iPad, and computers. 

exactly this. we've had a foscam for 2 years now and love it. we've recommended it to family & friends, and i know some who are using it as a security camera, others as a baby monitor. it's terrific.

hi, i use application called Best Baby Monitor from Martin Man. It cost only $4 and works like a charm! This application turns your iphone, ipod, ipad or mac into full screen baby monitor with clear sound and some additional features such night light, talk to baby option or remotely played lullabies. The application is easy to set up and i use it every single day since i bought it and with no problem
