One thing that sucks is having a new baby and having to go into work everyday… such is the life for sooo many (and it was for a couple of weeks of Harper’s life). One simple solution cause you cant really put a new born on the phone to check in is this amazing Samsung SmartCam [Amazon]. Its a WiFi connected Video Monitor – I leave out the baby part cause it could be used for almost anything you want to keep an eye on or an ear on since it transmit sound too.
It took all of 5 minutes to get working (yes it really that simple) but for a regular folk (non techie) maybe it’ll take you 10minutes. It uses Samsung’s hosted solution to communicate to the video device.
This does require an internet connection in the setup mode I have it running in (I dont even know if it would work if you didnt have an internet connect – like if you only wanted to run it locally). There is a free app you download for your iPhone or iPad. The image looks great with settings to reduce bandwidth.
I set this up on my old iPhone 4 (using wifi only) and it worked great in my apartment. The video looked great streaming over AT&T Wireless network on my iPhone 5.
If I have any issue is that even though it has the remember the password boxes in the app – it still requires usernames/passwords/camera password (so you can run multiple cameras) with no centralized login ability (would love to sync it to my facebook or twitter account so I dont need to remember another username/password).

My husband and I are in the same predicament by not being able to see our baby girl while working. It’s hard enough going back to work when you still have a newborn at home. I know my child is with a wonderful nanny but as a parent you still always have that worry in the back of your head when your not with your child. Plus, I’m missing time with my precious angel. Using this product will let me be able to see her when I’m not able to spend time with her. Maybe even catch her first steps!This product is heaven sent not only for parents but for a lot of other circumstances!

talking aboiut this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty
sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
I like the video baby monitor features of this product and its a best gift to give father on fathers day to watch baby in baby monitor and its very safe and secure.
Best gift to give away on the fathers days and to make the people much aware about the requirements and needs of the baby monitor.
