Does anyone know of a good low-light or IR wireless video cam? My kids are starting to act up in their cribs at night, and I am wanting to check it out before opening the door and getting them all excited when they should be sleeping.

I got the X10 brand of wireless camera, but it doesn't perform well in low light conditions. The camera plugs into the wall for power, and transmits the images to a receiver that you can plug into the TV or computer. It works great, except for at night when I need it most...:confused:

Thanks.
 
I've got the X10 setup as well (whole house is wired and computer controlled- ain't life grand? ;) ). You can fairly easily modify the cameras- especially indoors like in a kid's room. All you need is an IR LED that you can attach near the front of the lens (or several around the circumference). The cameras pick up IR so you can see in complete darkness. You can test the theory by having someone point one of your remote controls (IR obviously) at the camera in the darkened room while you watch the monitor in another. Should work fine. I only did it with one of mine. Hope this helps.
