The ultimate baby monitor!?

Hi, we're having second baby soon, and after the first we figured out exactly what we need from a baby monitor.. but does anyone know of one on the market that fits the bill??

We'd like the following essentials: 1) can buy more camera units and easily add to a "network" of cameras in different rooms. 2) has a standalone monitor unit not just an app.. 3) also has an app that works on android phones BUT also on desktop/laptop/tablets running Windows. All the other stuff like monitoring breathing, playing songs etc we don't really care about.

Any ideas??

Yeah I did check this out, but the multi-camera option you suggest is phone app only, and phone apps are just super inconvenient, they should really be marked down heavily for this imv.. two big issues 1) you normally want to use your phone for other things, like a lot! and 2) you want to keep baby monitor on and by the bed at night.. phone isn't really suitable for this. Very annoying when a good baby monitor doesn't have a standalone screen as part of the package.
