Best Options for Baby Monitor in 2017

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I need to buy something to act as a baby monitor. I've been looking at the range of dedicated babycams and am inclined to get a IP camera that we can view through phones/spare ipad rather than something with a dedicated unit. I've read a number of threads here and elsewhere suggesting different cameras - quite a range of views and some of the most useful posts are a bit dated, so wondering if you could provide an updated view.

 

Requirements:

- Good clear video, including in low light and with night vision.

- Big sensor, less bothered about very (most seem to be 1/3" but are there good 1/2" or even 1"+ options?)

- Two way audio.

- Ideally: local, on-device recording

- Flexible on power arrangements and form-factor but things that MUST be wall/ceiling mounted are probably out due to this needing to be a baby monitor and occasionally moved about.

- Cost should ideally be less than the £280/$300 Nest IQ which my partner likes (although I'm less keen about the online streaming requirement it has.)

 

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks!
