Baby monitors

Our children, is there anything more precious? We always want the best for them. When we have a tiny, defenseless newborn baby at home, we want to be close to them all the time, and protect them constantly. But let’s be honest, it’s not always possible. There is so much work at home that it is necessary to catch up – ironing, cooking, washing, cleaning, and possibly if we have more children we want to spend time with as well as to take care of them. Therefore, we are glad that nowadays we have lots of technical products which can help to make our life easier.
The baby monitor is exactly the „thing“ that can help us a lot at this very moment. The baby is monitored all the time and we can calmly do our everyday household duties in peace, without fear and stress. And we know and can constantly make sure that our treasure is safe and sound.
What exactly is a baby monitor?
It is an electronic „gadget“ (a type of transmitter), which works with batteries or plugged in, that transmits audio or/and video to control your baby who is in a different room.
There are 3 types of baby monitors:
- audio baby monitor – transmits only sound (it’s the best baby monitor for travel because it is the most economical)
- video baby monitor – transmits video
- a combination of video and audio baby monitor – transmits both video and sound
Baby monitors can also have many other additional features and functions, e.g. led lights, thermometer, hygrometer, Wi-Fi support, night vision, night light, or two-way audio transmission (which means you are able to calm down your baby from a distance and talk to them) etc.
Another types of baby monitors are:
- analog baby monitors – are more suitable for a family house, have a better range but fewer channels and these don’t encrypt the transmission, so anyone might be able to listen in.
- digital baby monitors – are more suitable for a city where there is more interference, they have more channels, they ensure that your signal is private but the disadvantage is that you might experience some interference from your wireless router or other devices
- internet baby monitors – they need the internet to work
The market offers a large number of audio baby monitors or video baby monitors, it only depends on you what parameters are important to you and which one is your favourite baby monitor.
Whether you choose a Vtech baby monitor, a Philips Avent baby monitor, a Motorola baby monitor, a Hello Baby monitor or any other, it all depends on your requirements and preferences.
