I want a camera/monitor/webcam that can work over Wifi so I can be at work and look in at my son whenever i want on my phone or tablet pan, tilt and zoom are a plus and so would be night vision. I want to be able to hear and talk back and for it to be recordable so i can keep certain videos. has to work for 6-8hrs at a time. i want to be able to have at least 2 to connect over wifi and watch 2 different rooms, if possible, and for or less apiece for each camera i have to buy. examples are the motorola blink1, dropcam, foscam, linksys compact wireless G internet video camera,etc. I also would like there to be little lag time in the video and real time. please and thank you so much!

A P2P camera that offers night vision , two way audio and has a memory card slot to record might work for you. You can pan and tilt remotely as well plus digital zoom. They run about 100 each and you can have as many as your wireless router has channels ( usually routers have 8 channels ). They use a app and you need a scanner in your phone or tablet. Just plug it in a n scan the code on the camera with the app and you have live view.
I dont know about the lag time but I would guess that the farther away you are the more delay.

Has anyone used a video baby monitor?
Pregnant w
How do they work?
What are the pros and cons?
I am thinking about buying one that you can have two monitors and see two rooms at once and was wondering how many people prefer it.

Congrats on baby #2!
I couldn't live with out my video monitor!! I have the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor. The picture is so clear both at night and during the day. I love being able to check on my baby with out waking her. I don't even have to get out of bed unless she really needs me! I think if I only had the audio, I would have been getting up a lot more often to investigate every sound, especially during the first few months. The handheld part has a button on top so you can turn off the video screen if the light bothers you at night. Then if you hear something you feel you need to check on, simply click the button and the video comes back on. I read the reviews for this product. Many people say they could not get a signal. I never had a problem. I also read that they can interfere with wi-fi. My husband is a web developer... he never would have allowed wi-fi interference!
I highly recommend this monitor to all my friends. The only con I can think of is that I have had to change the channel due to static. Seriously, it's a flick of a button and I've had to do it maybe 3 times in 7 months. No biggie! I know you can get an extra camera for this monitor, but I don't need one yet. Here is what one person commented: "We bought a second camera to go with the monitor we already had. I love being able to switch back and forth between my two kids' rooms. Only issue is if the monitor is too close to one camera, you can have interference when trying to check on the other one."
