You get the best of both worlds if you order a baby monitor that’s not marketed as a baby monitor.  Pay a lot less, and get a far superior camera!

If you are considering a video monitor, this Foscam FI8910W is a great option.  You can view the baby from any computer, or if you have a smart phone – you can see him/her on your phone.

Currently around 40% off on Amazon, you can get it for $65.00.

Some added features:  The camera has two-way audio so you can talk to your baby while you are out of the room.  It also has a motion detection feature so you can have your monitor or phone beep if it senses motion in the room.
