Baby monitor with wi-fi connected *screen unit*-- does it exist?
I've got a particular kind of weird setup in my house and am hoping there's a product out there that will solve it-- if you know what monitor might fit my use, I'd love to hear about it.
Currently, we have a Momcozy local-only baby monitor. My husband's and my room is right across from the nursery, so no issues with that so far. Our problem is that, now that baby is sleeping through the night, we are hoping to have some family members over to watch him overnight. This would be a really easy job generally, since he hardly ever wakes up after going down at 8- BUT the problem is that our guest room is too far away from the nursery for babysitters to be able to sleep and still hear him on the monitor.
Ideally what I'd like for this is: a baby monitor camera and screen that connects to wifi, you can see it on your phone I guess, but we really like the portable screen because it's always on, it lights up and plays sound if the baby has a problem (doesn't just send a push notif), and you can look at him right away to see if it's real distress or if it's one of those, midnight single "WEH" situations.
Solutions that we COULD do, but would avoid if possible, include: letting guests sleep in our room, giving guests app access to a camera where there's no portable screen, or giving them a tablet that's tuned to the camera's wifi feed. Those all would WORK but don't seem as easy or straightforward as "the baby's in bed, here's a little screen, it will make noise if he makes noise."
Does the thing I'm looking for exist? I've checked VTech cameras and firstly there are TOO many models, and secondly the few I've tried are wifi-connected for the camera, but not the portable screen. I chatted with the Eufy customer support and seems like it's the same issue. Anyone in my situation?
