We have the ibaby. It was not hard to set up, and I find that as long as we keep doing the updates, it's worked very well for us. I think my husband just chose it on a whim because we needed a better monitor than what we had. He didn't ask me (the research queen), before buying, but it's been great. I think it was around $200. And I don't know anyone else with a monitor they can view in their phone, so I don't know if I would choose differently since I haven't used any other ones. But again, we've been happy with the ibaby for the past 2 years.

We have a Foscam. My DH set it up so I'm not sure how difficult it was, but it didn't take him very long to do. It was gifted to us from our registry but I'm pretty sure they're around $50 on Amazon. The FoscamPro app was an additional $5. We chose it because of all the positive reviews on Amazon and HB. I would not choose differently in the future. I love being able to see LO on my phone at home and when I'm away and could never go back to a traditional monitor that doesn't have that feature.

We have a dlink camera. It was $90 and was easy to set up. It doesn't work anymore though. I'm not sure why, we haven't spent any time trying to see what's wrong with it. It was really handy to have though and I'd get one ( not the same brand probably ) again.

We have the Summer Baby Touch Wifi. We chose it because it was the only one that had online/phone access and a regular parent monitor for in the house. Setup was fairly easy and is done on your phone. Video can be accessed from a website, a phone app and guest passes can be given/revoked for family members. The baby is still on the way but we have had it setup for a couple of months and it seems to work great. It was definitely a registry item at $249. Reviews online were mixed, but took a chance and haven't had any issues.

We have a Samsung Smart Cam (not sure which model) which was abut $150. Their server is glitchy as hell, and DH had such a hard time getting it to work! But finally after multiple calls to Samsung (I told him to give up already, return it and get a new cam), it finally works! But it is still glitchy at times...

We bought this one. I HATED it. The wifi feature never worked. Spent hours on it. Wrote a bad review on giggle's website, which they never published and instead refunded me the money. http://www.giggle.com/baby-zoom-wifi-video-monitor/SMR56RR3.html
We then went with dropcam, which I think cost around $200. It is very easy to set up and use. I travel with it, and can set it up within minutes.

We have an older model of foscam that we never were able to get hooked up. It's horrible. I'm looking for something new that has infrared so we can use it as a camera somewhere else in the house once I'm done with it in her room.
