Baby Monitors

In the past, baby monitors were a mess of wires and parents could only stray so far. Setting them up for the evening could be an adventure in itself. Yet some parents liked this type of baby monitor system because they felt it was reliable: they knew where the receivers were at all times and they knew how far they could go to keep in touch. The modern wireless baby monitor solves both of these problems by having a "Page" function that allows you to find misplaced receivers, and by sounding an audible alarm or flashing lights when you begin to get out-of-range. In some cases, wireless digital baby monitors can interfere with cordless phones and other wireless equipment, so it's important that you shop around for a quality system.

The actual baby monitor camera wil be mounted to the wall, attached to the crib or affixed to a bookshelf. Can you pan, tilt, zoom or get a wide-angle view of the room with your camera?

Video Baby Monitors - Choose the Right One

There are many features to consider when you want to pick the best video baby monitor that fits your situation and suits your needs. Can you control the screen brightness? Can you pan or zoom in, remotely? Is there black & white image night vision to let you see in the dark? Are there battery saving features? Is voice-activated video available? Can you use rechargeable batteries, as well as an AC adapter? How many parent units does the infant monitor come with? Here is a run-down of some of the top-selling video baby monitors on the market.

The Philips DECT baby monitor is often listed as one of the "Top 10 Best Baby Monitors." It uses state-of-the-art security technology, so you can rest assured that your baby monitor system works free of interference.
