another video monitor question

if you were going to have two babies in the same room, 2.5 and six months old, would you get just one monitor and put it on the baby?  or would you buy two cameras and put them on each other (if that's even an option?)

or is there a monitor that lets you see the whole room at once?

    With our monitor, you can get another camera but switch between the two views on the handheld portion.  Like there's channel A and B, so you can set one camera on channel A and one on channel B and flip the switch on the monitor to see the two views.  That's what I would probably do since you'd hear the same thing with each camera.

    you can definitely get two cameras with many of the video monitors. I know the summer infant slim and secure and the safety first prism allow this.

     

    We put our camera on top of a tall book case in the corner of the room to get more of a birdseye view of the crib.  I think we could probably angle it to see a lot of the room if we wanted to.  Not sure how your cribs will be setup but you could probably find a way to get both cribs in the same camera. Most come with hardware to mount to the wall so you could probably mount in the corner up pretty high. 

    I'd probably get one that has the capability to add cameras and see how you like just one, then buy a second one later if needed.

    I'm thinking that if you don't have a monitor on M now, you may not need one. I would probably just put the video on the baby and the sound should pick up if M is crying, etc. No harm in putting another camera in the room though.

    ditto - and am guessing you would be happy just having a camera on the baby that will pick up sounds from both.

    The monitor we have can see the whole room and even zoom.  I posted the link in the post below.

    If we have a second child, I will definitely get a second camera so that one can be on the baby and one on ds.  Not quite sure when I will give up the cameras!  lol   Maybe when they are 18? lol
