like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

My wife went with a video cam that came with two cameras, one viewing pad thing (with horrendous battery light lmao), and no Internet connectivity.
We just wanted something that wouldn't be hacked from anywhere in the world, and that worked for us.
The only reason to have a Wi-Fi connected model is if you want to view the monitors from outside the house. Honestly I've not had the need nor the desire. If I'm away from my kid, she's with someone I trust. Accidents happen, and there are bad actors, but the relative risk of such things doesn't outweigh my desire to be able to fully unplug if we're on a date night or something. Lord knows if we had the ability to see in on our kid at all times, the temptation to do so would overrun the fun of a night out.
