High Tech Baby Monitoring?

Posted by michael on from the i-spy-with-my-little-eye dept.

MrGibbage writes "I'm a long time geek and about to be a first time father. I'm setting up the baby room now, and I'm looking for a high-tech (and low cost of course) baby monitoring system. I'm already running a linux web server over DSL and I'd love to push the video to that in order to see the video on my cell phone when we are out and the babysitter is home....uhh....babysitting. How will I watch the video while in our house? What about on my iPaq? Laptop? Something else? What about audio? Any systems that integrate both? The Baby-R-Us systems are ridiculously low quality and not expandable at all and therefore not really an option. The last slashdot article about video surveillance is a few years old."

    SIDS is not unexplained, people just don't want to accept the explanation. It's just an early form of Darwinism. If you are too stupid to figure out how to roll over if you start suffocating, you are taken out of the system.

    I fear a world when they "cure" SIDS, it'll be a much stupider place.

    I'm not against jokes, only against immature jokes.

    Before, Saddam was killing. Now, the U.S. Gov. is killing and destabilizing, and you pay. Improvement?
