My wife and I have just recently had our first child and I’m looking at getting a decent baby monitor (or security camera) setup.
Our place is not very big at all (think a studio with a separate bedroom/bathroom). I was given a cheap security camera to use for now but I want to start planning for when we move into a bigger apartment (security cameras) and a generally better system for monitoring our baby when we are in another room and cannot hear.
Should I invest in a baby monitor now or would it be better to invest in a decent security camera system instead?
I’m based in the EU and am quite tech-savvy so I don’t have a problem setting things up myself if it means a better system.
Congrats on the baby, and I wish you both get some sleep in the near future!
I honestly preferred using a baby monitor that didn’t have too many techy features. The one I’ve had the longest was from Infant Optics - just their baseline model worked fine. No wifi or phone connections. It’s just a basic video/audio monitor.
