Safety Baby Monitors With Clear Reception
By G L Harris
New parents have a tendency to check on their baby
almost incessantly or rush to the room at every cry.
Sometimes checking up on the baby so often can disturb
his or her sleep patterns, as babies tend to be light
sleepers (especially at nap time!)
It can be tiresome and frustrating to hurry into the
baby’s room to assess the situation all the time, especially
if the baby will just quiet down and fall back asleep
in no time at all.
Knowing When Your Baby Needs Your Help
To make sure there isn’t a dangerous situation, safety
baby monitors can help parents determine if the baby
is uncomfortable in some way or if the baby just wants
attention. The camera baby monitor can also show parents
when the baby has awakened, as to avoid the morning
"I’m hungry" shrieking.
When browsing for a baby monitor, the most important
factor is clear reception. Muffled, fuzzy or screeching
sounds will be distracting and difficult to discern
from ambient sounds.
Interference Problems With Cheap Wireless Baby Monitors
With low-end wireless baby monitors, cordless telephone
conversations may come through the channel or simple
everyday appliances like microwaves may jumble the pictures
or sounds. The best way to avoid interference is to
purchase a quality baby infant monitor that has a similar
range to your home size.
If you buy one that is too large, it will be easier
to pick up the neighbor’s frequencies. Also, tests show
that digital baby monitors have less trouble with interference
than analog baby monitors, so that should be considered
as well.
Multiple Channel Selections
If you do settle on an analog monitor, ensure that
your cordless phone and monitor do not work off the
same Gigahertz frequency and look for a model that offers
at least two different channel selections.
Multiple monitoring is a useful feature that comes
with some safety baby monitors, allowing you to keep
receivers in more than one room or enabling you and
your spouse to keep track of the baby
concurrently.
Communication With Receivers
Some of the best baby monitors let both parents communicate
with one another via their receivers, like walkie-talkies,
and even speak back to the baby to comfort him or her
back to slumber if it’s not an emergency
situation.
Buying a set with a warning system is a good idea too,
because it will indicate, with flashing lights, how
loudly the baby is crying (with no need to have the
volume cranked) and it may also warn you when you’re
out of range or the battery is low.
Good Quality Colour Images
There are many safety baby monitors to choose from,
but here are a few top picks. The Summer Infant Day
& Night Handheld Color Video Monitor 1.8 ($179.99)
offers good quality images for a fair price, although
the screen is a bit small.
The BébéSounds Angelcare Movement Sensor/Sound Monitor
($119) comes with two parent units and a mattress sensor
pad to detect movements, although false alarms are possible
with this model. The Philips DECT baby monitor ($149.99)
is lightweight and has zero interference, although it’s
a little bit pricey.
The Ultra-Clear Graco baby monitor ($29.99) offers
excellent quality for the price, although it does not
come with video capabilities and it may have a bit of
static in some households. As you can see, there are
many models in many different price ranges.
