Baby Ping

Why carry a baby monitor with you from room to
room when the BabyPing can link straight to the
one device you always have
in your pocket anyway? Easy to set up, this Wi-Fi-
endowed babycam works with any Apple mobile
device running iOS 7, alerting you when your bundle
of joy starts to bawl. You can then switch to the
live stream, with clear audio and a crisp,
widescreen 640x480 HD image in full colour, or
infrared black and white. Out for the night? Check
up on the new babysitter via 3G or 4G.
There’s no computer required, just plug the
provided Ethernet cable into the camera and your
Wi-Fi router. The background hum of interference
from a baby monitor can be reassuring, but it can
also sound like the soundtrack to a Japanese horror
film. Luckily, this filters background noise, alerting
you only when it hears your baby cry. What's more,
infra-red night vision activates automatically when
darkness falls. It doesn’t give off any tell-tale
glow, either, so won’t wake up junior.
