WWYD: Seeing Another Baby On Your Video Monitor

I have a Summer Infant Handheld Video Monitor. This morning, I turned off the camera in DS's room and realized I forgot to turn off my handheld. I looked on the monitor and saw a newborn sleeping in a crib Chat Icon

The next thing I know, I'm seeing the mom walk in and you can hear all the conversation in her house Chat Icon Now I'm thinking, if we can see them...have they ever seen us?

When I left my house this morning, I saw a big stork sign in front of a house across the street. DH and I don't know them at all, but it's safe to say it's their baby who keeps showing up on our monitor.

If it was your baby, would you want to know? Or is ignorance bliss?

I've switched to the other channel, so hopefully they won't see DS.

Chat Icon Chat Icon This freaks me out, I'm such a paranoid person that this is the reason I never got a video monitor Chat Icon

I probably wouldn't tell them, since there's not much they can do, you know?

This just happened to me a few weeks ago.

Only one time in 18 months.

It freaked me out that I couldn't see my son.

IF you get a monitor with DECT technology it prevents this from happening....

I have heard things on my baby monitor (not a video one) and its FREAKY. I once heard a baby crying, went into DDs room only to realize that I was picking up someone elses baby on the monitor.

Needless to say, we are now a NON-monitor house.

I see a child (hard to tell but maybe around DD's age) all the time on mine (starting about 2 months ago). I don't get any sound and the picture isn't perfect - but if I turn my handset on before DH turns on her camera when he puts her down I see the other child. It is disturbing honestly but I'm not sure what to do about it.

Yup...I have another crib in my monitor too. Freaks me out. They will never see my DD because she sleeps everywhere BUT her crib

I've seen a crib AND a bed but never with children in them. It also wasn't that clear. I've never heard conversation though. I wouldn't tell them.
