Answer
Wireless cameras are getting really cheap. it gets down to how much do you want to spend. Next, what kind of picture (best), do you want a camera that can pan and zoom (probably you don't need that), and sound (might be good). If you spend a little time looking at them you can narrow it down. Avoid the cheapest ones and get a name brand one. for this you need a wifi camera that plugs into 110 electricity (usa standard). I have 3 in my house. If you search carefully, you can even get a camera that you can bring up on your smart phone. If you have a name brand wireless router like dlink, linksys or netgear, try for a wireless camera made by them. that way it will be simple to connect to the router. Newegg has great prices and no taxes.

Baby monitor with camera?
Love
I'm having my first child in December and my mom and I are looking at baby monitors and we found on that had a camera and shows you a live image of the baby. My mom was pretty impressed by this as they weren't around when I was a baby. But they are outrageously priced! I think she wants to get one for me anyway, as this is her first grandchild and my mom's the type to spend way too much. So I was wondering does anyone else have these? Worth the price? Are they any good?

I actually did this, but I used a wireless ip camera. When my son was 9 months old we had to move from a condo to an apartment with no washer/dryer hookup. So I had to leave the apartment to do the laundry a couple doors down and needed a way to see what my son was up to in between loads. I agree that the video monitor setups are very steep. And something worth noting is that every single one I've seen on shelves is not a secured network. So that video signal is open for others to view nearby. I use(d) a dlink IP cam that is networked securely to my home wireless network and accessible via smartphone. It cost about 30 bucks and 15 minutes of setup and I was up and going. I've had this setup for almost 3 years now and it's been helpful. I don't think I've had any memorable absences, but it's a nice piece of mind to make sure my son was sleeping safely when I had to leave the apartment for a moment.
