Parentsupermarket.com Top tips for buying the RIGHT Baby Monitor;
Which Baby Monitor?
A baby monitor allows you the flexibility to move around the house
whilst your baby is asleep or safely playing safe in the knowledge that
you will be alerted if your baby needs you. Baby monitors typically
consist of 2 units; a transmitter to be positioned near the baby and a
receiver to be carried with the parents. There are a huge variety of
baby monitors available, however they can be broadly defined into 3
categories;
Audio Baby Monitors
Audio baby monitors allow you to monitor your baby’s sounds. You could
choose an analogue audio monitor which could suffer from interference
and variable sound quality, or a digital audio monitor which offers more
channels and much clearer sound quality.
Video Baby Monitors
These baby monitors allow you to hear and see your baby. A portable
camera wirelessly transmits video and audio to your monitor parent unit
or your TV. Some video baby monitors can be connected up to your PC, and
some baby monitors can even be used for taking pictures of your little
one ensuring your capture those precious moments.
Breathing/Movement Baby Monitors
Breathing baby monitors (also known as an apnoea alarm) will sound an
alarm if your baby stops breathing after a certain amount of time –
usually 15-20 seconds depending on the baby monitor. Some of those
monitors include audio which allows you to listen to your baby’s sounds.
Below is a list of features you should look out for when choosing a suitable baby monitor:
Always check the number of channels it offers – more is better for reducing interference and improving reception.
Look at the screen size (if it is a video baby monitor you are looking for). Is it big enough for easy viewing?
Talk back facility – does it allow you to communicate with baby from another room?
Distance of reception – ensure the parent unit can go the distance away from the baby unit that you need it to be able to go.
Out or range alarm – alerts you when the monitor has went out or range.
Check if it is mains or battery operated.
Does it have moving light displays? This is useful if the
parent/guardian is hard of hearing, or if you wish to have the volume on
the parent unit switched low.
Night light – provides a warm glow to soothe baby, and allows you to check on baby without having to switch on the main light.
Clips/stands/wall mounting? Check how the baby and parent units can be positioned.
Check if there is volume control on the monitor.
Night vision (if it is a video baby monitor you are looking for) – this
feature comes with most video baby monitors, and allows you to view baby
clearly even in a dark room.
Is the baby monitor digital or analogue? An analogue monitor has a
chance of interference, while a digital monitor is interference free and
has better sound quality.
Always remember that your baby monitor is not a medical device. It is
simply a product which is designed to assist you in keeping your baby
safe. Never rely on it for your baby’s safety & wellbeing. We
recommend that you personally check on your baby as frequently as
necessary.
