Today’s deal of the day is a fantastic wireless video baby monitor that you can’t find cheaper anywhere on the Web, but it’s also so much more than that.  Sure, the product is ideal for keeping an eye on baby while you play Uno on Facebook in the living room, but that’s by no means all that you can do with it.  After all, this is a video monitor with NIGHT VISION. Think of all the spying hi-jinks you could get into with one of these! 

I’ve always felt that humans got the shaft when it came to seeing in the dark.  Our lame eyes are limited to the visible light spectrum, which more or less disappears when the sun goes down.  Many animals have a tissue layer called the tapetum lucidum in the back of their eyes that reflects light back through the retina, increasing the amount of light available for it to capture.  That’s why their eyes look all reflective in my car headlights, I guess.  Other animals can see parts of the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums, too.  Why didn’t we evolve that way?  Personally, I blame our crippling dependency on fire.

Luckily, humans are pretty great at using tools.  That’s why we’re able to develop technology to improve on our deficiencies, such as seeing babies in the dark.  You know what else is cool?  Our daily deal’s night vision feature displays in green monochrome, the perfect video setting for St. Patrick’s Day!

After consuming a few beverages today, your kids might need a night-vision video monitor to keep an eye on you!
