It's doubtful the ND could handle the streaming from a video camera, plus when you add up the cost of the ND, WiFi shield, video camera, etc. You could simply purchase a Wifi enabled baby monitor camera with built in microphone and IR light for night vision (somewhere between $220 - $275). Just my opinion.
Hi Dave, thanks for your reply.
If money is not an object and the project is mostly for fun and proof of concept, how about taking pictures every so often and uploading them somewhere within the same home network and having a web page that serves those images (all within the same network, I can use my NAS for that) and then that web page can be accessed from an iPad, iPhone, another PC, another or a Netduino with a display. Any thoughts on that?

That may be a more feasible option.

Thanks for the info Dave. I am going to reade those articles in detail.

While I am not trying to talk anyone out of using a Netduino for video, real time video will be a big drain on resources.
If you want real time video and audio I would recommend an IP camera (ethernet or wifi) with IR for operation in a dark room. This allows for motion detection, sound, recording, snapshots, smartphone access etc.
Then you could use the the Netduino to operate an automatic bottle despencer, play music, rock the crib or the ever popular diaper changer (it send a text message to the wife).

LOL, I won't show this post to my wife, otherwise I will get in trouble
I have a QNAP NAS TS-459Pro which has surveillance capabilities. The good thing about this project is that I have a Ethernet port right in my kids room. What IP camera would you recommend with IR capabilities?

By the way you could show your wife the other message, just tell her "look what some male pig suggested" you'll be her hero. Can't figure out why I can't find a rich woman to marry.

All of my IR cameras are for outdoors use, I do not have any indoors currently, except for an Edimax IC-7000PTn-V2 which is a pan / tilt camera, it has a good picture but occasionally locks up, they may have fixed that problem. I have used LevelOne and Linksys WVC80N you could most likely get a D-Link from Best Buy and try it out. D-Link DCS-932L they may price match other places that have them cheaper (newegg).

As usual thanks again Chuck.
I'll check those cameras and see if they're compatible with my QNAP NAS. I'll keep you posted.

I have not used the Qnap Nas. I have a synology 411+ that works well for me with the surveilance cameras. Also I highly recommend IP Cam Viewer Pro from Robert Chou, it works with Android and Iphone. It will display, take snapshots and record multiple cameras (web, ip, DVR etc) IP Cam Viewer Pro.

Cool, I wil try it out as soon as I get an IP camera.
