Ask Engadget: best video baby camera?

Ask Engadget best video baby monitor

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from Berry2Droid, who wants to geek-up monitoring his first-born. If you're looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"My wife and I are having a baby soon and need a video monitor. We'd like it to be compatible with our Android phones, rather than having a separate screen in the package. We'd also like some sort of visual aid as my wife is deaf so she would need some sort of other signal. If there was any ability to add additional cameras, that'd also be great. Thanks for your help!"

We could certainly point you in the direction of Samsung Techwin's Video Baby Monitor or Y-Cam's offering, both of which are infrared-and-internet capable cameras that pump the picture straight to your mobile device. We came a little unstuck on the visual warning element for your wife, however, but that's why we'll turn this question over to our faithful group of commenters to see if their knowledge stretches further than our own. Dear friends, help out a lovely couple as they embark upon the majestic (albeit fraught) journey of parenthood and provide some wisdom in the comments below.

Samsung Techwin announces two new HD CCTV systems for the security conscious resolution snob

Samsung Techwin, the Korean conglomerate's video cameras and security division, is announcing two sets of HD CCTV systems for security-conscious types who don't want to settle for a grainy VGA image. The eight-channel SDH-P4040 and 16-channel SDH-P5080 come with four (or eight for the superior model) "weatherproof" 720p nigh vision cameras with a range of 85 feet. Connect them up to the supplied DVR with a Cat5E cable and images can be instantly viewed with an iOS or Android app, and are kept on the 1TB SATA HDD for safe keeping -- and will be output to 1080p if you're watching at source. Both models will arrive in the spring, the 4040 marked up at $1,400 and the 5080 equating to $1,800 of those dollars you want to keep secure.
