I haven't ever heard of it!</p> <p>We use a Foscam for a monitor when needed, it's got its own secure IP address so no one can watch it except us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype#post-91840 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 03:17:11 +0000 SAHM0811 91840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have thought about setting this up, but kept thinking I needed a special app for it that I needed to research about... well, duh! Now I realize I totally overlooked Skype/FaceTime! LOL. Thank you!!! I've been avoiding video monitors because of the security reason... Don't want anyone outside being able to see LO and the inside of our house. Creepy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype#post-91806 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 21:37:38 +0000 Andrea 91806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow what a great idea, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype#post-91802 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 21:30:40 +0000 umlo 91802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what a great idea! who needs the baby monitor, especially ehen you get someone else's frequency! still freaks me out whenever i see/hear my neighbors kids on there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype#post-91717 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:11:25 +0000 BSB 91717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kokobee: Oh, I see. Good point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype#post-91712 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 16:49:01 +0000 kokobee 91712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: facetime works too! i like using skype because you can turn off the camera on your end so that LO doesn't have to see what you're doing. i don't believe facetime has that option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype#post-91698 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 15:23:19 +0000 BSB 91698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that is a good idea. Although with your iPad and iPhone, couldn't you use FaceTime app? I notice that the quality of FaceTime is better than Skype.</p> <p>I am a Mac household with iMac and a MacBook. I don't have a iPad yet. I may ask for that when I get pregnant. Anyway, I know there's a way to make your iMac or MacBook a security cam. I considered doing it so I could see what my dog was doing while I was at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype#post-91694 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 15:18:21 +0000 heffalump 91694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never thought of that, good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skype#post-91669 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 13:03:36 +0000 kokobee 91669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone used Skype as a baby video monitor? I always do with my iPad and Iphone when I want to shower while LO is napping. Works wonders! Puts my mind at ease. I love technology :)! </p>
