Baby monitors are a modified version of baby monitors, but they are much more convenient to use. With their help, you can not only hear what is happening in the child's room, but also observe it.

Our experts have selected 9 models of baby monitors that compare favorably with most analogs in a number of characteristics.

What to look for when choosing a baby monitor

1. The range is the most important parameter when choosing a baby monitor. The more rooms, and therefore walls, the more powerful the transmitter should be.

2. Power supply. The most versatile baby monitors are with two types: stationary and autonomous. This will allow you to install the camera in any hard-to-reach place in the room, even if there is no outlet nearby, and the charge will last for several hours of continuous operation.

3. Built-in Wi-Fi module. The function expands the possibilities of use. The signal is sent not only to the parent unit, but also to the smartphone. There are baby monitors with the ability to work only wirelessly, and there are hybrid devices. The latter are preferable, since the user independently chooses a convenient mode for a specific situation.

4. Respiratory sensor (monitor). Such models are useful for parents with premature babies. The option will help you always control the baby's breathing.

5. Rotatable camera. Video nannies equipped with a PTZ camera allow you to monitor the movement of the child around the room. The control is carried out from the parental control panel. In the case of a stationary one, you should choose one that has an ultra-wide viewing angle, due to which the entire space is captured without blind spots.

6. Night shooting mode. Produced in the infrared range. The function helps to control the baby in the dark.

7. Two-way communication. The option provides an opportunity through the parental unit of the baby monitor to talk to the baby, calm him down or sing a lullaby.

8. Connection of additional equipment. Baby monitors can support 4 to 8 cameras working simultaneously. This option will interest families with two or more children of about the same age. Please note that it is not easy to find an additional camera on the domestic market for every model. Please check this question before purchasing.

9. Fastening. There are several types. The most convenient way is to attach the baby unit of the baby monitor with the help of reusable Velcro fasteners, which allow you to fix it on the hood of the stroller for going out into nature or for a walk around the city. Parent monitors can be clipped to the belt with a clip to free Mom / Dad's hands.
