Much as I'd like to stand over my son's crib all afternoon and watch him all night, I often need to get things done while he sleeps. However, if I place a Dropcam HD Wi-Fi camera in front of his bed, I can watch his every move on my smartphone and get alerts if the camera detects enough movement to indicate he might be awake. If he is awake, I can talk to him on the Dropcam's speaker.

Because Dropcam stores its video in the cloud, I can log on at work and check on my son while mom is watching him in person. I can even turn the lights down in his room, because this camera offers really strong low-light performance and a smooth 30 fps.
