Video monitor with two cameras

elliotandnicole · September 2013

Hey all, I went back several pages and couldn't find anything. What monitors are you MoMs using? I've been hoping to find one that has 2 cameras and is wifi capable without the 2 way communication, but they don't seem to come with their own handheld device, just iPhone/iPad, which is fine, but ours shut off after a few minutes, so not sure how great that would be for a monitor. I'm curious about what y'all have decided on. Thanks for any help!

I'm going to just use a regular old-fashioned monitor

We're not going to use a monitor at all...shocking, I know!

The nursery is less than 10 feet from our room - so I figure I'll hear them when they cry. We also got Snuzas for each girl...

We'll see how long this plan lasts...but for now it makes sense in my head...

We have this one:

It does have the two-way communication, which came in helpful this morning when I took the girls into another room and the cat jumped in one of the cribs. *sigh* I don't think I've seen one that synchs to the photo *and* has a handheld monitor.

We have this one also and love it!

Can a third camera be added to this set up? This is actually the monitor I would love to have! We have the summer infant one...it sucks, don't buy that one! After 2 years it craps put all the time which is so annoying!

we got the dropcam. i would only recommend if you are somewhat tech savvy as we had a few issues with it but in general it works so well. i have to work 12-24 hour shifts so i can always peek in on the boys from where i work and see how their bath/bed time routine is going etc.

also, the app works well for iphone/ipad.

the video monitor is best for us in this situation - (we have them both in the same room)- start hearing fussing - check and see if they are really fussing or just resettling and their potential to wake up the other baby. ours like play in the middle of the night sometimes and talk to themselves so it would help us reassured that they are not upset and the other one is sleeping so we can "ignore" and go back to sleep!

Yep, it supports up to 4 cameras. We have three running on it right now.

We have a Motorola. I can't remember the model. We have two cameras and the monitor scans between them. It's not wifi capable though. We have been really pleased with it.
