What are all the things you need for a baby? Like anyone will tell you, not as many things as the stores would have you believe. It might surprise you, though, to find a baby monitor on that list! I bought a baby monitor, just like everyone else. And, like most people, I didn't have the $$ to buy one of those super-duper techno-fancy ones. And, like most people, the one I ended up with sucked.
So, here I am with baby number two and I thought I was smarter......until my brother and sister-in-law showed up at the beach with the best app EVER!!
Meet Baby Monitor 3G, a lovely app from the people at TappyTaps (who have my unending thanks).
Using this app, you can sink any two apple devices on the same network into a monitor and a receiver (as long as one has a camera). You phone could be the parent station and your iPad could be the baby station or, if you have work to do on your iPad, you could use your iPad as the parent station and an iPod as the baby station. Any way works and it takes less than a minute to add and setup new devices.
It's as easy as:
1. Choose which devices will be the parent and baby stations.
2. Make sure the baby station is pointed so that you can actually see the baby.
3. Link up the baby and parent stations.
4. Monitor your baby!
You can choose to just monitor the sound, or you can view your baby on live video feed. From the parent station, you can monitor how long your child has been asleep, how much battery life is on the baby station device, and more. You can also talk to your baby through the joined devices.
For $3.99 (total, no matter how many devices you load it on) you'll have the baby monitor you always wanted. I certainly do!
