Good news: your NYC apartment is small enough that you can probably hear your baby from every room.
Good news: your NYC apartment is small enough that you can probably hear your baby from every room. Bad news: pre-war walls block signals, WiFi is shared with 200 neighbors, and you still want to SEE what's happening in there. Here's what works.
Tip: Non-WiFi (FHSS) monitors can't be hacked and work through thick walls better than WiFi cameras. If cybersecurity worries you, go non-WiFi. Your apartment is small enough that range doesn't matter.
