Has anyone used this system for an in home Baby Monitor?

Pretty expensive for a baby monitor but you could if you wanted to. There are some pretty good "baby monitors" made just for watching your baby even at night. I would check Amazon under baby monitors. Now if you are planning on having just one camera watching the baby and the rest monitoring the rest of the house, then I don't see a problem, you could use this system for that very purpose.

No, but it would work perfectly fine other than not having audio. So if you just want to view, it would work. Most baby monitors would be wireless and let you carry around something that has audio / video. With this system, you'd have to wire the camera to the room, only have video, but can watch the video on a mobile device.

I've only used the Babysense, but we have friends with the Angel Care who seem to get many more false alarms than we do. I was bothered by the flashing blue light when in operation, but our child seems unaffected by it.

I didn't try, mine are all indoor, but I don't see anything about the system that looked super sensitive. It could probably work okay for a while (like a trip or something), but I don't know if I would use them for a permanent installation.

Thought I already answered this. No. And besides that, it's a piece of junk system. Wish I hadn't bought it. Spend some real money and get a good system.

I have used it to monitor my front yard but nothing much more than that. It only had one camera on the system so I didn't have to switch between channels. This is pretty much for a dedicated camera.You could technically use this with any camera system provided that the system is able to mate with RCA jacks that are part of the screen. There are three female jacks: 1 Video(yellow); 2 Audio (Red and White). If you have the ability to connect to this type of hookup either directly or through adapters then it will probably work for you application.As for DVR I don't have any reccomendations as I don't record the video.

Definitely doesn't work 100% of the time. There are frequent hiccups, but its generally tolerable. It 100% does not operate in real time. There is usually a 4-7 second delay. I didn't think it was the biggest deal at first, but I wanted the monitor in order to hear my baby's SIDS monitor. So it wasn't great for that. I bought an audio monitor that works in real time.

Hello Baba, thanks for your question. WiFi Baby and HomeMonitor are completely different systems, only the look of the monitor is the same - WiFi Baby is not cloud/server based to start with - please reach out to us at the contact info at WiFi Baby's website for more info.

Thats what we are using it for. The audio is excellent. You can also talk back to the room. You can set it up locally on your home network. I have a dyndns (free) account also so I can monitor the sitter if we're out to dinner. I'm using the Foscam Pro app on my iPhone. It's the best one i've tried.

Yes, it would work very nicely for a baby store. It's pretty easy to set up and the advanced online reporting is excellent. There is a monthly fee however compared to other POS systems we looked at it's a good deal.

I have had problems with using this monitor's webcam as well. I can't say it doesn't work, but I will say it works sporadically at best. Also, if there is a microphone in the array, that does not work, I have had to use an external microphone.

Yes you can. I have done it. However, the audio isn't amazing, but for monitoring purposes, it works fine (no loud background noise). However, you will always have to have the video on at all times as well, no way to turn it off. If your device turns off, so will the monitoring. If you use it for any serious length of time (over night baby monitoring) your phone or tablet may heat up much more than is wanted.

We had one for our daughter and added a second monitor when our son was born (so we have 2 monitors and 2 receivers). The monitors work on different channels with no interference. The best part is that we can change the channel on either of our (parent) receivers to check in on either room, one of my favorite features of this monitor. My 2nd favorite feature is the rechargeable batteries, this is rare among monitors (and baby items in general)! :) You will love it!

Just FYI, I called the actual maker of the old Philips 2 parent baby monitor, and they still had a few left that they were willing to sell for 199.00 to customers. So if you really have your heart set then you could probably call and get one easily. I wasn't willing to pay that much for two monitors. I will just have to make one work for now.

Audio quality is not as good as a real baby monitoring and depends on how close you put the monitor to your baby. I personally do not use it for audio but is great for visual. There are many apps you can purchase for your iPhone but again audio is not the best when used remotely. I have FiscamPro. I think it's the best compared to others. You can use your apps to control your camera views and many other functions.

I had the same problem with this baby monitor. I returned it for the same model, and it happened again after a few weeks. I decided at that point to exchange it for a different brand baby monitor (Angelcare).

I had an issue with my Smart Baby monitor (that was purchased on Amazon) and I contacted Withthings customer service, they were more than helpful! They got me a whole new product within just a couple weeks. I would recommend contacting them directly :-) info on Withings website.

I did. It doesn't filter the sound out but you can definitely hear the baby over the monitor
