I was hoping to keep the room lights off. We do have a 10W (or so) plug in nightlight but I don't think that will put light into the crib since it is located to low. We have a video baby monitor that doesn't glow red but it is hard coded to a monitor. So I thought it wouldn't be hard to find a comparable IP camera witch would provide the same IR light (invisible) but allow me to use any viewer (computer, phone, ipad, etc.). I could then use my router to map a port and view remotely as well.
