Which baby monitor should I go for?
Video Monitor
Video monitors have two parts to them. The camera and the parent unit. They can be quite expensive but you will be able to watch your baby and in most cases, communicate with them through audio from another room or garden.
Some parent units have big screens so you can get a large picture of your baby, while others are much smaller, which limits what you can see. Which one you opt for will depend on how much you want to spend or which one you prefer.
Audio Monitor
Audio monitors come in 2 parts and are similar to walkie talkies. One part stays in your baby’s room and there is a parent unit to keep on you. They can include light or sound alerts and 2-way talkback and lullabies to soothe your baby. These are often the most affordable option when it comes to baby monitors.
Wi-fi Monitor
You can use as security camera in your home and you can also keep an eye on things while you are away from home at work or on holiday.
You can use your existing internet connection at home with a smartphone app. While a traditional video baby monitor will only work at home a smart wi-fi monitor isn’t constrained by signal range so you can use it wherever you have Wi-fi signal.
Breathing/ Pulse Monitor
If your baby’s breathing was to become abnormal, your baby breathing monitor would alert you with a loud alarm that lifesaving action is needed. Some parents find these types of monitors very reassuring, but they can be expensive.
I hope this list of the best baby monitors was helpful.
