    Video Monitoring

    With all of this new technology... computers... cell phones... web cams. There must be a better way to set up some sort of video monitoring for all of the bedrooms to watch the kiddies during quiet time then buying 4 video monitors.

    Anyone do anything unique or have any interesting ideas.

    I am also looking for inexpensive video monitors as well.

    I'm sure there is an app for iPads/iPhones that would enable you to monitor several rooms at once. The only downside there would be the need for 5 devices (4 for each room, one for you). I used our iPad/iPhone combo for a bit. Worked pretty well, but we only had the pair, so I never looked into the possibility of doing multiple rooms.

    I finally gave in and bought a Lorex video monitor. They come with up to 4 cameras and a video monitor. You can watch all 4 screens simultaneously (the audio switches between cameras) or it will scan through all the cameras in full screen. It's not cheap though (they had a sale and free shipping when I bought it and it was still $240. I found one for $210 I think, but again, there was a sale and such. So worth it though! Carting around 4 monitors everywhere I went in the house was beyond annoying.

    I would totally get the 4 camera monitor. Do you have the product number? I can't seem to find the exact one you're talking about.

    Mine is Summer and you could add up to 4 cameras. You can only watch one camera at a time, though. I only need one for playroom and the other for napping room.

    I bought that exact one! I got it for 192.00 Can. including tax and shipping! I can't wait to get it! I'm so glad it's working for you. I figured... I won't be able to buy 4 seperate decent monitors for 50 each and I don't want to carry 4 different monitors. I'm super excited!
