for a basic no frills monitor i have this and i'm happy with it. decent range. does the job.
the one i posted above DOES notify when connection is lost.Also it is sound activated so it's not constantly running unless your kid is constantly crying (or you have a noise maker in the room)
It will only cause you (and your wife) more harm than good
This discussion is old and wondering if there's anything newer that anyone can recommend. Looking for a video monitor, preferably one I can also see from my IPhone (for the crazy parent )
If your room is within 20 ft of the baby's room, get the Sony BabyCall. Cheap and reliable.Range is probably longer, just playing safe on the advice.
-1000We loved our video monitor. Wouldn't dream of not having one in the future. You can always turn the video feature off but when your kid is crying and you are not sure whether it is the "I'm exhausted, lying down but crying myself to sleep cry" or the standing up throwing eth over the railing get me out bec. I am not gonna stop cry" it sure helps to see it before you wake yourself up and walk into the room (wake the baby up more)Best buy we ever made.

I agree!What brand did you buy? How much$?
We bought this from Babies with a 20% coupon, I believe it was about $100.Love everything about it, (we never tried to set it up as an app, so not sure about that) except after about a year, an encounter with a toilet and a very active baby that would play with the monitor, the screen went crazy 2 or 3 times (simply remving and replacing the battery fixed it every time).
I got a baby monitor app for 3.99. Saved me a bundle and works great.
Whats the app called?
