OT: Baby moniter idea?
Story is that i have a one year old daughter and we live in a bungalow. Night time can be quite tricky at times due to having to be quiet to let her
sleep. We keep her door closed so it keeps most of the noise down but its really hard to open her door without her waking up. We need to keep an eye
on her due to her have a coughing problem at night which can make her sick. We have looked at some of the tv baby moniters but they seem to be really
crap and poor quality.
Now, Can one be made using a webcam or somthing like that? Sorry i havent got a clue about electrical stuff.
As this is a locosting site i expect cheap ideas. 
Thanks
Matt

I knew someone who had a webcam as a baby monitor. They used their PC as a TV and it automatically merged the sound of the webcam and the TV so they
could hear something going on and switch the picture.

maybe some sort of security camera from argos, probably have night vision and you will be able to use a channel of your tv to view her.

The idea is to make as much noise as normal so she gets used to it and sleeps through it, if she wakes up she wasn't really tired enough anyway.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.
