Today’s baby monitors are equipped with HD video, night vision, Internet streaming, built-in temperature sensors, two-way microphones, movement detection, pulse oximetry, long battery life with rechargeable batteries, high-quality audio, and zoom features. So . . . not your parent’s baby monitors. These advanced monitors, also known as “baby alarms,” allow you to keep a close eye on your little one while he or she sleeps in another room. For mom and dad, this allows you to attend to chores around the house without constantly checking on your baby, providing you with much-needed peace of mind and freedom.
Today, with Internet connectivity, you can check in on your baby while you’re out on a date, at work, or even grocery shopping. Many modern monitors come with mobile apps that allow you to pan and tilt the camera from your smartphone. These features are so useful that many people continue to use these monitors as security cameras long after they are needed for baby monitoring.
Safety is paramount when using baby monitors. Always keep cords away from the crib and out of reach of your baby. Additionally, be sure to fill out the warranty card that comes with your monitor to stay informed about any potential product recalls.
With numerous options available, selecting the right baby monitor depends on your specific needs. If you live in a smaller home or apartment and plan to be with your child full-time during the first year, an audio monitoring system may suffice. This type of monitor alerts you when your baby wakes up, providing basic yet essential functionality.
Budget is another important consideration. There are monitors available for every budget, and for those who want all the bells and whistles, investing in a feature-rich monitor can be worth the expense. Choose the monitor that best meets your needs and fits your budget.
