If you intend to purchase a video baby
monitor, you should be aware
that they vary in price from $100 to $300. It is important that you do
not buy equipment that will soon become obsolete as improved video
monitors come out, whilst at the same time avoid paying over the odds
for something available at a lower price elsewhere. Choosing the right
baby monitor system may be a difficult choice, but is well worth the
effort as it can provide you with real peace of mind regarding your
baby's welfare, not to mention the joy of listening to and
watching your precious bundle.
The Philips DECT baby
monitor is frequently listed as one of the "Top
10 Best Baby Monitors." Using the latest state-of-the-art security
technology, you can rest assured that your baby monitor system works
free of interference. Not only can you hear crystal-clear clarity, but
you can also talk back through the monitor to soothe your baby. Added
special features make it easy for you to monitor the baby's room
temperature and remotely activate lullabies or a light show to help
your baby sleep easier. The lightweight receiver has some good mobility
features and can be attached to belt or neck. On the downside, this is
also one of the more expensive monitors, retailing at $200.
Another popular model is the Safety 1st Color View video baby monitor
($186), which can be mounted on a crib rail, table or the wall. The
resolution and color are excellent, even late at night. With the remote
digital zoom and pan, you can see the whole situation and catch all of
your baby's cutest moves, without interrupting your activity. The
DataLock technology ensures that you never lose picture or sound and
the wideband audio clarity system ensures that you get no interference
or static. The battery life isn't very reliable, so you'll be happy to
know you can plug-in this video infant monitor.
In the end, you may decide you don't really need a video baby monitor
after all. For as low as $20, you could buy an audio baby monitor and
hear if your baby is upset and crying, which is the main objective of
an infant monitoring system. If you don't like the terrifying sudden
bursts of noise when your baby does awake, then many audio monitors
have a setting that initiates flashing lights, depending on how loudly
the baby is crying. The high-end audio monitors can run you $100, but
they are much cheaper than the video security cameras.
