Baby monitors have overtime evolved from just being simple walkie-talkies. This article will help you understand different monitors available in the market with prices that are friendly with features.

This is always used in monitoring your baby’s movement, his level of oxygen, the rate at which his heart beats and room temperature. Models such as Infant Optics DXR-8 has its temperature sensor built inside it but other models like Owlet sock has been designed to track your baby’s heart rate with oxygen level specifically.

With such kind of a camera that transmits both sound and image then you will be able to supervise your baby at all times even when at different room. This always makes it a good option to purchase as compared to others.
☑ Wifi vs Radio
Depending on the model, some monitors often uses radio frequency with others using wi-fi network while others always uses both the radio and wi-fi network. When buying one, always go for one that best matches your lifestyle.
☑ Wi-fi
These are always convenient especially if you are a parent who travels a lot. The only thing required for it to function is by having internet connection that is more secure and Bluetooth device that is compatible such as your computer or phone. You must however be concerned with how you will be able to monitor the baby incase wi-fi is interrupted.
☑ Frequency
Static often occurs when using radio monitors and to avoid interference of sound then make sure that cordless devices in your house are switched off or are not using the same frequency as that of the monitor. Check the back of the cordless devices for the frequency it operates at to enable you select one with a frequency that will work best without being interfered.
☑ Range
Some monitors often have their ranges limited hence you can lose contact with the child if you go far from the house or yard.
☑ Alerts
They may come in form of chime, monitor buzz or even lighting up. The best thing with monitors is that is has backup alert system when operating at low battery mode.
☑ Source of power
For monitors that uses either batteries or Ac adapter charging it properly is always recommended just in case a blackout occurs.
☑ An adapter that is hands free
This makes it easier to carry it with you whenever you are moving around the house. This enables you to do other chores at the same time keeping an eye on the baby.
☑ Night vision and light
The night vision will enable you to check on your baby when dark while the night light often provides comfort to the baby when upset and helps them fall asleep faster.
☑ A Two-way audio
If your baby usually wakes up at night and starts to cry this is a great choice for you since you can talk to the baby hence calming him down before going into his room. This is best if your child is always inconsolable.
☑ Entertainment
Some monitors enables you record lullabies or can come with songs recorded on them thus helping in soothing your child whenever upset or help him fall asleep more easily.
