What's the best baby monitor / security system for stalking my children?

i am looking for an "inexpensive" (aka $250 or less) option to view the kiddos in their rooms at night. i would need 2 cameras, night vision, and some kind of hand held monitor. don't care if i can hear them or not, i assume i will hear my kiddo screaming no matter what floor i am on. (thanks to a good set of lungs on 'em) i am open to baby monitors or security systems, but just want to be able to see somewhat clearly what's going on down stairs. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome...
Thanks in advance!

I bought a wireless Foscam. It has built in two-way audio and everything. The infrared night-mode is superb for the price. It can also be plugged in to LAN directly if you can/prefer to do it that way. Also has Pan-Tilt-Zoom. If you can abandon the handheld monitor and use a laptop instead, this is probably you're cheapest and best route. You can use your iPhone to view the cameras as well. We looked into dedicated baby monitors and either the price was horribly expensive, or the night vision was lackluster, or both.

naw, they don't really need much stalking. problem is the kiddos (3.5 and will be newborn at christmas) will be on a different floor. i just want to tell if it's worth my effort to drag my sleepy butt downstairs to check on them or if they'll go the f*ck to sleep on their own. :)

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
