Digital Baby Monitor Helps Ensure Safety Of Your Newborn

By G L Harris

A digital baby monitor may be used to ensure the safety of a newborn baby. Parents can listen in to the baby’s breathing and cries to gauge the situation, without having to be in the same room. Compared to analog, digital monitors offer superior sound quality and vision quality (for ones with video monitors). Yet, on the downside, some parents worry about electromagnetic radiation emanating from the monitors.

Even though there has been no scientific evidence to support this claim, some view it as an unnecessary risk or feel the monitor should be placed far from the infant. Additionally, the digital monitors are higher in price, which may not make them suitable for every family.

Better Sound Clarity And Other Features

There are many good, digital infant monitors from which to choose. The Philips DECT baby monitor gets the highest reviews for sound clarity and offers special features, like parent-to-baby intercom functionality, alert lights, room temperature gauges, a night-light and soothing lullabies.

The Summer Infant baby monitor offers video, night-vision, sound-alert lights and zoom and pan functionality. The Secure Sounds infant monitor Summer brand has also received positive reviews for limited interference and its stylish, contemporary design. The new Digitally Fresh digital baby monitor comes with a 1.5-inch color LCD baby monitor screen, a walkie-talkie/receiver and a security camera.

High End Models With More Features

The Graco baby monitor, called the "iMonitor," has multi-child monitoring features, an estimated 2,000-ft range, night vision and zoom. Mobi sells systems with unlimited receivers, wide camera angles, zoom, voice-activated video transmission and high-resolution screens. These high-end models run between $100 and $200.

You may find the price of a digital baby monitor to be a bit too high for your liking, in which case there are a few analog, baby monitor system choices that still receive decent reviews. The "Whisper Connect" by Evenflo ($20 to $30) comes with two receivers, two monitors and rechargeable batteries, not to mention three-way-talk functionality, sound lights and a low battery indicator.

Choose Your Model And Features To Suit Your Budget

The Graco baby monitor, "Ultra Clear II" ($30) comes with two receivers that have two channels for better sound clarity. The Fisher Price baby monitor, "Private Connection" ($35 - $50) has received more positive reviews than their "Lights & Sounds" model, which is more prone to static. The "BabyCall NTM-910" by Sony ($45) is a 900 MHz analog monitor that has better clarity than most of the cheaper models, customers say.

You can certainly pay a lot for your digital baby monitor, so you’ll need to spend a little time considering which features you absolutely need and which you can live without.

Temperature And Humidity Levels

Most people just want a basic, baby monitoring system that provides clear reception, has mobile handsets and picks up the sounds of the baby. Once you’ve had a basic system for a while, you may decide you’d like some special features, such as multiple handsets, talk-back/intercom functionality or lights-only mode.

If you’re a paranoid parent, then you may need to know the temperature and humidity levels of the baby’s room or when your baby is moving around. You may even decide that actually seeing what your baby is up to on video monitors can be part of the joys of parenthood.
