Anyone use an IP camera for baby monitoring?

I have been doing a ton of research and it seems that it is hard to get everything I want in a camera.

I would like:

Pan/Zoom
Good Audio
iPhone/Andoid Support
Night vision

This Foscam seems great, but I heard the audio sucks

Any recommendations please?
 
You might wanna check ebay. They have a lot of chinese knockoffs for a fraction of the price of the typical retail packages available on sites like Amazon. Their reviews seem to do fairly well
 
Hmm, maybe ebay isn't the best place -- I can find lots of static cameras (knockoffs), but not many remote-controlled
 
Also remember, you want a quiet camera. Don't want to be waking up the kid just because you wanted to get a better look at that crusted up booger on its nose.

:-P
 
I love our Foscam, we use it for our son in his room. The audio isn't great, but the pan/tilt works (no zoom on our model), night vision is great and it offers support for ActiveX or alternate browers (iOS Apps are available, too)
 
Has anyone been able to control an IP camera from a smart phone? My wife has an iphone and I have a Droid X2. Hopefully we can with one of these. If so, any suggestions on a camera?
