video monitor

[SueF]

Can anyone recommend a video monitor for children with seizures at night? My old Summer monitor just died and the Samsung digital montior and Motorola digital monitors I have are great during the day but are very grainy with night vision. I have 2 kids that have seizures during the night. Thanks!!

Hi SueF, welcome!

I don't know about video monitors offhand -- you might be able to find some info in these threads:

And something along these lines might work for you:

Your local epilepsy foundation may also have recommendations.

Best,

We use a foscam night vision camera, it awesome and we record onto our laptop and can also use our iPad our phone to check on him overnight or during his day nap.
We have it currently set to motion record so it only records movement but we can still check on him when we want during the night. You can also have an alarm/beep go off when there is movement but we have had to turn this off as he moves to much.
I am sure there are others on the market which do a similar job.
