Would this camera be acceptable to use as a nanny-cam? I'm needing one for two bedrooms for my daughters as baby monitors...thoughts? Thanks!

Yes. I use mine to verify that certain employees are present and on site. Very dependable and somewhat easy to setup on my wireless router. UPnP is the easiest.

Absolutely! I use mine to check in on my dogs during the week. Just make sure you lock down your wireless router. There was a case in Texas where someone hacked into the camera , was watching the baby and speaking to it through the speaker in the camera.

You are going to be very surprised. The cameras work so good, the image is so clear. even at night, the infrared works fantastic. I really love them.

Absolutely! I have one in the living room and one in the family room. They work great!

Yes it would do nicely as a nanny cam. You can schedule it to take photos or record video on motion, sound, or both. You will need a storage device however for this if you wanted to record. Otherwise you can use it as a webcam to check in anytime you desire.

The res is excellent, more like 720p! Best cams money can buy, trully great! Good luck, night vision is amazingly clear. &#128077;&#128077;

You can use up to 4 additional cameras, BUT, the monitor does not feature a SCAN feature like other baby monitors do. You have to manually select which camera you want to observe. I purchased 2 monitor sets and was forced to return them because of the lack of this key feature.

Yes its a fantastic camera.... ensure you buy it and in the remarks section appreciate amazon for selling you a camera which need not be charged at all for the rest of the life and can connect unto 4 monitors to view the pics and also has an onboard fan so as if you start sweating it will help you cool down..... :P :P :P ... lol...lol and last but not the least also please thank them to tolerate your order and your account :P :P :P....Come on man google it - google 780Ti and go get yourself the best camera ever released by Nvidia... :P

I actually bought it for something else. Do you want to have remote live view and trigger from your DSLR ? If you do send another question and I will send some details so you can have something like CamRanger but at around 40 instead of 250. Hope that helps. Phil

I do not own this camera (yet) but from what I have gathered from other reviewers you can either view 1 or 4 cameras at the same time...meaning if you have 2-3 cameras, the image will be just as small as if there were 4 images. Or, you can toggle back and forth between one large image. I plan to use the camera primarily for my newborn (due in June) with the ability to "check in" on my toddler as needed.

I would also buy this camera but not being able local record for free is a deal breaker. Hopefully Nest will change all that now that they are acquiring Dropcam.

Absolutely. We have done so for our daughter and her grandparents. They remarked how clear and smooth the picture was with this webcam. That said, make sure your internet upload and download speeds can handle it.

Withings Home is a different product but similar. Its newer than this one, and can be used to monitor your home and also baby. I guess its not out on Amazon yet, I didn't find it here either. Maybe they have improved on the design but still I see that you can't easily position the camera for baby.

No it would not be the right product for that situation. I would suggest a remote camera with monitor. Will be more $$

I'm looking for this for a "granny" monitor - to watch (with his very informed permission) my 95 year old Dad who is living alone 3,000 miles away. I almost exclusively want to be able to check on him at night to make sure he's in bed, not lying on the floor! He keeps a probably 40-60 watt lamp on in the bedroom, so it is low light, not no light, and definitely more than a nightlight illumination. Would this camera work for that? thanks for any info, opinions.-- Amy

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.

The cnet video review was especially great - it shows a lot its features really well. I hope some more in-depth reviews come out soon. And I still haven't seen any reviews on the other cameras I'm considering, so I guess I have a long way to go. Of course, none of them are available to purchase yet. The frustrating part is every day I come across situations where I could use a camera like that! Oh well....

Supposedly it can be a webcam and it is one of the reasons I purchased it. However, I returned it in a week or so. It's a horrid little camera. It was difficult for me to operate and many of the features were less than useless. Personally, if I were you I'd look for something else.

Yes, good for a nanny cam. And you can view it on your iPhone (probably Droid as well) if you buy the $5.99 Foscam Pro Two Way Audio App. Once you get the camera, call customer service and make sure you buy the right app. I'm also going to check into the app you can buy, uFoscam 2Way Audio & AV Record, that will record what the camera is seeing.

Your using it to monitor the exterior of your home from the interior of your home directly through a window? If so, I don't have an answer for that. It wouldnt expect it to do that, it is not the proper camera to do so. Get an exterior camera with the proper width and leds to do so. Just for example, have you ever tried to recording through the inside of your house to the outside with your camcorder. It's never worked very well, very bad focus. Look into an exterior cam. Mine works great.
