We have our A/C set to 74 degrees (I know, a bit warm), but the temperature display on our LO's video monitor consistently shows it's 5-6 degrees warmer than that (79-80!!!). Our new thermostat doesn't show the current temperature so I don't really know what the actual temp in our home is.
Does anyone know if the video monitor temperature readings tend to be fairly accurate? Thanks!

We have two cameras. One is definitely accurate but the one mounted on the wall of wagon jr 's room is off by a good 10 degrees sometimes... And sometimes it's totally accurate. No idea why!!

@mrs. wagon: so strange! Im convinced the monitor is wrong bc whenever i walk into lo's room, it always feels much cooler than the living room!

I'm pretty sure our monitor is off by at least 4-5 degrees - it always feels much cooler in his room than what the monitor reads!

I forgot to mention that we had to move the camera placement around a few times to get it accurate. if we put it too close to another object (like a wall or stuffed animal) it would give an inaccurate reading. we made sure it wasn't near any other objects and that's how we made sure it was accurate. we checked it against another thermometer that we had.

@banana: yes, ours is on the wall... explains the weird fluctuations! it goes as far down as 71 degrees (the actual temperature we keep the upstairs at) and all the way up to 80 degrees!

Ours isnt really accurate either because its up on the wall and its not realy accurate since warm air rises, it always displays a warmer temp
