What to look for in a Digital Baby Monitor

When you have your newborn at home it's natural that you want to keep a close eye in him/her. Allowing your infant to sleep in it's own crib can cause feelings of anxiety. Usually you will notice the need for some rest yourself. This is where a digital baby monitor will provide value.

A digital baby monitor may be used to ensure the safety of your newborn. You hear the baby's breathing and cries to gauge the situation, without having to be in the same room. Compared to analog, digital baby monitors offer a superior sound quality and vision quality (for ones with video monitors). With analog monitors you can easily run into the problem of radio interference breaking or disturbing the connection to your child. Digital Monitors are less vulnerable to this problem and will add to your peace of mind.

Digital baby monitors have huge advantages.

The Philips DECT baby monitor gets the best reviews for clarity of sound. This monitor special features, like parent-to-baby intercom functionality, alert lights, room temperature gauges, a night-light and soothing lullabies.

The Secure Sounds infant monitor Summer brand has also received positive reviews for limited interference and its stylish, contemporary design.

The Summer Infant baby monitor also comes with video, night-vision, sound-alert lights and last but not least sophisticated zoom and pan functionality.

The new Digitally Fresh digital baby monitor features a 1.5-inch color LCD screen, a walkie-talkie like receiver and a security camera.

From Graco baby products we have the "iMonitor," has multi-child monitoring features, an estimated 2,000-ft range, night vision and zoom. The Graco Baby Monitor is a technological masterpiece.

Mobi systems with unlimited receivers, wide camera angles, zoom, voice-activated video transmission and high-resolution screens.

Parents who are very concerned about security should consider a digital baby monitor, rather than analog. It's possible that neighbors who are also using the same baby monitor system will be able to hear your infant's coos and cries. It's not that your baby is likely to be endangered by this, but that sort of invasiveness is creepy and disconcerting to a number of people.

Secondly, you should consider a digital baby monitor if you live in a busy neighborhood where a lot is going on. Cordless phones, TV signals, wireless internet signals, radio broadcasts, microwaves and even passing traffic can all cause exorbitant amounts of static to come through your monitor, which will make the whole system more trouble than it's worth.

There is a digital baby monitor for everyone. There are basic $20 monitors that serve as walkie-talkies and transmitters of baby coos, gurgles, talking and cries. There are $60 monitors that give you greater range, better sound clarity, more receivers and lights-only indicators to show when the baby is screeching. The more high-end digital monitors past $100 may add lullabies, other monitoring features and night lights.

Then, there are the systems with video monitors, offering a whole new level of baby espionage to the scene. At the end of the day, it's up to you and what you feel is most needed.

The Wireless Video Baby Monitor

February 17th, 2010 |

Author: admin

Most consumers admit in their baby monitor reviews that they initially scoffed at the idea of spying on their babies with video monitors. At first, it just seemed excessive, as who needs to see every yawn, gurgle, giggle or sour-puss scream anyway? Yet, often, an expectant mother gets a video monitor at a baby shower or the tech-geek spouse convinces the frugal spouse that this would be a cool idea. Unsurprisingly, even the most reticent consumers instantly became hooked to the concept of having a wireless video baby monitor around the house.

When purchasing a wireless, video monitoring system, you'll need to consider how you intend to use it first. Some 5" to 7" video baby monitors attach in a more permanent way, while others can be propped up on any nightstand or countertop.

Then there are the handheld receivers, that allow you the ability to roam the house freely, while watching your baby on a smaller 1.8" screen. 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? These are all options you will consider, before making choice.

Another feature to consider for your wireless video baby monitor is the resolution/picture quality you require. You'll need to decide whether black-and-white will suffice, or if you want one in color. Some systems also come with night-vision so you can watch your baby in the dark, without disturbing him or her. Some of the older models have bulkier screens, whereas the newer models offer flat-screens, LCD baby monitor screens and high-definition technology screens. Your screen can range anywhere from 1.8 inches to 7 inches. Do you need an output to your computer or TV screen? These are all factors to consider.

One last thing to consider for your wireless video baby monitor is interference. Digital monitors have less trouble with this than analog baby monitors, and remote locations are less at-risk than more rural, spread-out households. In some cases, parents will see their neighbors' babies if they're using the same brand of monitoring system, or household appliances and cordless phones will send static and jumbled pictures through. It's important that you gather warranty information in case you need to return a product. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for with wireless baby monitors: if you buy a cheap-o product, you'll get interference. If you're willing to pay a little more, then you should be able to find something in the $200 to $300 range that works just fine.
