We are having Baby #2 in a couple of months and we live in a 2-story home, with our bedroom and main living on a different floor than the children's bedrooms. I want to be able to monitor each of my children in their own rooms by seeing and hearing them at the same time. I am also interested in monitoring them in the playroom. Has anyone found that a home security camera system to be more effective or affordable than a traditional baby monitor? If so, what is it like for you and which system did you use? Geeky dweebs and nerds are especially encouraged to reply with help.


Answer
To be honest, many baby video monitors can offer what you need. You can buy the parent unit and add more cameras as you need to monitor different rooms. I would take a look at the Samsung SEW-3037W. You can view up to 4 rooms at the same time using 4 cameras, via split screen on the parent unit. The night vision quality is good, it works over a large range and you can pan, zoom and tilt with the cameras

They scare me, srry iso long, plz help tho? PLEASE?

So, I keep having variations of the same dream and I have this feeling the entire time. I don't know how to describe it. Anxious, protective, angry, scared and so many other feelings to create this one bothersome one. Anyway, here's the dream: I'm in a really huge house, there are so many rooms and they all have a different theme. Me my brother sister and mom are stuck on the bottom and we have to find our way up to get out because there are no doors on the bottom. Or there is but its like we just cant go through them. Everything looks like I'm looking through scratched glass. We go throughthis typeof obstaclecourse andit involves swimming. We fail and this guy is monitoring us. I know that guy is evil. The dream zooms ahead and we're in a royal looking room and we can look around the corner into a tea room. There is a wealthy woman getting served there. My brother has to do something strange to make sure thecoastis clear. We continue sneaking our way up and the whole time that "feeling" gets stronger. Finally we're at the top and we aren't underground anymore. But my friend is guarding the door and she is telling us we can't leave. She tells the other guards to go and they do. I grab a knife from the kitchen. This room is cabin themed. I go over to her back and she says "Do what you have to do, I understand. You'll think its worth it" and I stab her and she drops the javelin and shield she was holding. I tell my family to come on and we run as fast as we can down a completely empty highway. Okay I wake up and the dreams continue into the next few weeks. Okay next night. We break out of the house fast and its skips all the details and we run down the empty highway. We see lit up billboards and mom point to a light through the tree's lining the highway. I keep looking at the light and while im looking away my mom brother and sister find a baby. We go to the light through the trees and bring the baby and we go inside a very busy restaurant diner/steakhouse thing. I have that feeling that this one guy is evil, he's are server. He has dark blonde hair and a black polo on. The baby is sitting beside mom. I know wat that guy is about to do b4 hedos it. I tryn to get my voice out but it wont come my throat is restricted. He walks over to the baby and mom is looking away laughing at my brother and sister. I watch helpless as he twists the babys head around till its neck breaks. It cries sorrowfully the saddest cry I will ever hear. I feel guilty and he walks away. I hate him so much. I think "I have to tell her" but I'm only allowed to tell her the baby is dead. I tap her and point to the baby, she sobs. That guy serves us our food and I cant speak, nothing will come out I literally can not make a noise. He smiles at me and jokes with me and I cant respond. We finish our food leave the baby in its highchair and get on our bikes (yes they just appeared) and ride back the direction we came. I have the sense we're still running we just finding another way to run because the RESTURANT changed places and was at the end of the highway and there was nothing behind it.
What does this dream mean? Its bothered me and I had so many dreams like it. We were trapped in a house, we had to run, we had to sacrifice human life along the way (my friend, the baby, sometimes it was my dad or my other brother, sometimes random ppl) and it scares me.
What do you think it all means?
I meant this to go in dream interpertatino what happened?>

Replacing a Netgear cgd24g wireless cable modem gateway?

top baby monitor reviews image



gerry


This unit keeps dropping the wireless signal. I unplug cable to unit from desktop and replug it, wireless often works, but not always for long. This Netgear unit came from the cable company. I was under the impression that my new HP Omni desk top had an internal modem and the Netgear was just acting as a router. Do I need just a router or another modem-router? I'd like to buy the right equipment to solve the wireless problem and send this unit back to Charter. I appreciate any insight you might share.


Answer
Two types of Internet devices are commonly sold.

1. Combination modem / routers, often called gateways.

2. Stand alone routers which can be connected to a stand alone modem.

DSL and Cable modems use different technology, for this reason you can't use a cable gateway (DOCSIS) with DSL or use a DSL gateway (ADSL2+) with a cable Internet connection.

The Netgear CGD24G is a cable gateway. http://support.netgear.com/product/CGD24G

A gateway is a combination modem and router in one enclosure.

A highly rated DOCSIS 3.0 cable gateway is the Motorola SBG6580. It is currently about $120 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040IUI46/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=excharge-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0040IUI46

You could also buy a standalone cable modem and connect it to a separate wireless router.

You don't have to buy your modem, router or gateway from your ISP, you can get one from a local retailer such as BestBuy or Fry's or online from places like Amazon.

As far as the brand goes, the brand is not as important as the model. Some manufacturers release a good model but the next is crap. I would look at the Amazon reviews of models that interest you. Even if you don't buy from Amazon the reviews will tell you a lot about which models to avoid. Look for at least 20 or more reviews with at least a 4 star rating. Read a few and see if they sound like the particular model will work for your application.

Most cable Internet providers use the cable modem's MAC address to activate the modem.

You'll have to call your cable provider with the MAC of the new modem so they can activate it on your account. The MAC address is usually printed on a sticker attached to the modem.

That being said,

No desktop is going to have a cable modem. It might have a dial-up modem, though most newer PC's don't include one.

Many newer PC's do include WiFi and Ethernet adapters and this might be what you are referring to.

Here is how it works,

Your cable modem connects to the Incoming coaxial cable and provides Internet (WAN) access from your ISP.

This WAN connection connects to a wireless router, In your case, with a gateway, the connection is internal.

A router connects two separate networks and manage the traffic between them.

In most home network applications the router connects your local group of computers and devices known as the LAN with the Internet, commonly called the WAN or Wide Area Network.

There are usually 4 LAN ports on the router to connect PCs and other devices via Ethernet cables if need be.

A wireless router enables you to provide wireless (WiFi) Internet access to all of your WiFi enabled devices such as laptops, game consoles, cell phones and tablets, Streaming devices such as Roku boxes and Internet enabled TV and sound devices, etc.

Wireless signals are affected by many factors including wall density, electrical interference, directional antenna range, etc. All of these factors will affect your actual wireless range.

Just because a particular wireless router works good at one location does not guarantee that it will have similar performance in a different location due to variance in the factors listed above.

You should try to centrally locate your wireless router or gateway up high and away from dense walls and electrical and 2.4 GHz wireless interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc.

The best solution would be to use a wired (Ethernet) connection between your PC and the router.

A quality 50' Ethernet patch cable is less than $10 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001W26TIW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=excharge-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001W26TIW

If it is not feasible to run cables you have other options such as powerline network adapters You plug one in by the router and one in the room where you need access and connect them to the devices with standard Ethernet patch cables. http://isp1.us/reviews/netgear-xavb2101-powerline-adapter/

The network signals are transmitted over your existing home electrical wiring which will not be affected by wireless interference.

However, if you absolutely need the wireless mobility there are various other ways to extend a Internet connection to areas with a weak wireless signal.

Devices such as wireless extenders that can expand your wireless range if need be. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YAYM06/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=excharge-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004YAYM06

The wireless range extender receives weak wireless signals and repeats them to extend the signal range to greater distances. Some models include 4 Ethernet ports in addition to the wireless radio.

Good Luck...

what's the best of the best babyphone / baby intercom / baby monitor thingy ? I've heard that I need to buy something with DECT and that there are also systems that monitor the baby's breathing etc... what's the top of the line system ?


Answer
I was also looking for a good baby monitor, and my husband and I wanted a combined video/audio one.

After much researching around and reading lots of reviews, we're going to get the:
Swann SW233-WDM VBM-330 Digital Video Baby Monitor
It costs about AUD$260.

These were our criteria for selection:
Audio - good microphone
Color video and reasonable screen size
No interference or use of multiple channels
Night vision (at least a few meters)
Thermometer a plus
Multiroom monitoring if possible
Portable receivers
Transmitter - non-battery powered
Motion sensor for stop of movement
Underwriters Labs mark for safety
Intercom
No LED flahes on camera
No Auto-mute

The Swann model does not necessarily fulfil all the criteria, but the most important ones it does fulfill, and it fulfills the most of our criteria.

Hope that helps! P.S. Swann is very good in surveillance technology.
