Wireless Baby Monitor With A Range Of Helpful Features
By G L Harris
In the past, baby monitors were a mess of wires and
parents could only stray so far. Yet some parents liked
this type of baby monitor system because they felt it
was reliable: they knew where the receivers were at
all times and they knew how far they could go to keep
in touch.
The modern wireless baby monitor solves both of these
problems by having a "Page" function that
allows you to find misplaced receivers, and by sounding
an audible alarm or flashing lights when you begin to
get out-of-range. In some cases, wireless digital baby
monitors can interfere with cordless phones and other
wireless equipment, so it’s important that you shop
around for a quality system.
A Budget Monitor With Excellent Reception And Sound
Quality
One wireless monitor to consider is the Graco Ultra
Clear II. The Graco baby monitor is a budget product
that has received positive reviews for its excellent
reception and sound quality. Bonus features include
a night-light and sound indicator lights, so you can
simply see when your baby is crying, rather than be
startled by the sudden, shrill shrieks.
The system also comes with two parental unit monitors,
which is a nice bonus. In consumer baby monitor reviews,
many parents give the UltraClear II 5/5 stars. However,
like many other monitors, interference can be a problem
in busier areas, so you might want to upgrade to the
$60 Graco iMonitor system, which offers even better
clarity.
The only cons listed for this item are that the monitor
is too sensitive and that the volume can only be turned
off, not kept down low. Prices range from $36.99 at
Amazon to $44.95 at Ebay. Target and Walmart also carry
this product if you need it right away.
No Interference Guarantee With The Phillips Baby Monitors
On the high-end, Philips baby monitors like the SCD
589 DECT Digital are guaranteed to have no interference
from other electronic devices. With 60 different channels,
compared to competitors’ two, the DECT baby monitor
automatically switches to clear, unused channels.
Many parents also like the intercom function, which
allows them the ability to communicate with the baby
through their handheld receiver. They can also remotely
check the temperature and humidity of the baby’s room,
cue up lullabies and turn on a night-light.
Short Battery Life
Some complaints have been that the battery life doesn’t
perform as advertised, that the volume doesn’t pick
up baby talk as well as it picks up full-blown screaming
and that it’s expensive. Prices for this wireless baby
monitor run from $100 at Amazon to $200 in stores.
In addition to wireless baby monitor systems, there
are also ones that come with video monitors for those
parents who don’t want to miss a thing. An LCD baby
monitor can usually be connected to the television set
for a larger picture.
Turn Off Sound
Parents can have the sound turned off on their units
and still see what their little one is up to. Often
parents can catch a baby who has just awakened, before
the shrieking and crying to get out of the crib
starts.
However, as you can imagine, these systems do come
with a higher price-tag, which is usually between $100
and $300, rather than ranging from $50 to $150.
