Hi


Looking for some advice from any parents who've used wireless baby monitor devices/apps.


We have a regular baby monitor but we're staying at a country hotel for a couple of nights soon and we know from past experience the range doesn't quite reach (thick walls etc) if we want to go downstairs for dinner in the evening, so always go for a babysitter. Was wondering if these wifi options work ok where ordinary monitors fall out of range?


Any advice warmly welcomed! thanks

We both have iphones and use the BabyMonitor3G app which works very well.


It utilises the wifi network where you are staying and can cross networks too which is useful when your hotel has private room but free public wifi.


If you want it, it allows video and also you can speak to your baby too although I've never done or wanted to do so.


It saves taking a monitor on holiday or the expense of a babysitter when you're only effectively downstairs from your room or on a terrace. I've never felt concerned over safety by doing so but appreciate others might not be so happy.

    • Had a Red Admiral in front driveway today. Hadn't seen one for some time
    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
    • In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂 
    • It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, no checkpoints nor a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.
