Baby video monitor

[Jmphotog]

I know a lot of guys here have babies or infants.. So being that the misses is due next month.. I'm looking at baby video monitors, and MY ARE THEY EXPENSIVE!

Which ones do you guys recommend? I'm looking on eBay or Craigslist for deals lol..

Supposedly this one: Motorola MBP36S is the one to get?

I have a tommy tippy one it works pretty well. The monitor has a rechargeable battery so the wife can take it with her to do laundry and such w o having to plug it in everywhere. And it also is no ise cancelling so you dont have to listen to static

We have a Motorola one. It has some range and works well. Plus to it is, you can hook multiple cameras up to the monitor.

If you have an old smartphone, download an app to use it at as a monitor. Leave it plugged in, connect it to your WiFi and you'll have one of the best baby monitors you can get.

We have the Motorola model you mentioned @Jmphotog . In my opinion you get the most value for the price, you can add cameras, and it relies on rf and frequency hops instead of using wi-fi. The reason I prefer rf to wi-fi is that it's very, very difficult for some creeper to hack and mess with/look at our baby.
Is the threat of hacking baby monitors that big? Not that I'm aware of; but in regards to my child's safety I'm not willing to risk it.
Just my 2 cents, hope it helps!

We use a Motorola, most likely the one stated above. It works very well, just wish we could get my daughter to sleep in her crib long enough to use it.

Get the Motorola one. We've been using it for two years and it's great for all the reasons mentioned. We had an issue with it and called support, couple days later we received a replacement. Great product and support IMO

Lol I just wanted to share what just happened. So I took the over all advice and went for the Motorola. However! I went on eBay and found one for a 100 bucks 103.48 to be exact. It was used but said to be in excellent working condition. Fast forward today; received the box, open it to test it and ready to clean it. ::face Palm:: it doesn't work. LOL

The USB port is faulty, before I go ape shit on the eBay seller, I called Motorola. Long story short I got a new one on the way=D for the price of a used one bahahahahahahahahahaha

I told my wife monuments should be erected in my name lol. I'm on a roll, got airline tickets refunded too haha! She says I have the gift of talking and can get anything refunded.

So it worked out well! Thanks all for the advice!
