Baby Monitor vs Security Camera (lemdro.id)

submitted 6 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

15 comments fedilink hide all child comments

My wife and I have just recently had our first child and I'm looking at getting a decent baby monitor (or security camera) setup.

Our place is not very big at all (think a studio with a separate bedroom/bathroom). I was given a cheap security camera to use for now but I want to start planning for when we move into a bigger apartment (security cameras) and a generally better system for monitoring our baby when we are in another room and cannot hear.

Should I invest in a baby monitor now or would it be better to invest in a decent security camera system instead?

I'm based in the EU and am quite tech-savvy so I don't have a problem setting things up myself if it means a better system.

I just took old android phone and used it as ipcam mounted on her crib.

The sound is easy to hear, but it was assuring to also see the camera view what she was doing
