we've used a foscam for our monitor since DD1 was a baby. we mostly used it to check video as we can always hear her. so at night, i never left it running. same for DD2, except for now, i'm worried about her waking up DD1 in the MOTN. i've thought about leaving the sound on all night so i can hear right away, but there are a couple issues that i'm hoping you can guide me on!

1) we run white noise all night, so that means white noise all night for me. not necessarily an issue, but a consideration.
2) i'm a light sleeper, so i would probably wake up if DD2 made any random noises, not just crying ones, which kind of negates the reason we moved her into another room in the first place if i'm waking up all the time!

so do you run the sound on your monitor all night long? do the little noises wake you up if you're a light sleeper?

side note: my parents have one of those monitors that only turn on the sound when there is a louder sound than the white noise, but it would ALWAYS wake me up randomly when DD1 would move around, so i stopped using it at their house too! ha.
