Wireless Video Baby Monitor Helps To Ensure Your Peace Of Mind
By G L Harris
The audio-only, baby monitoring systems have a lot
of cool features. You can talk to your spouse on another
walkie-talkie or speak back to the baby with an intercom.
You can activate lullabies, night lights and check the
temperature of the infant’s room.
Yet, the next step in evolution was naturally the advent
of the wireless video baby monitor, which allows you
the ability to see exactly what your baby is up to,
either on a larger LCD baby monitor screen, on a smaller
handheld video monitor or on your own television
set.
Some of the more advanced systems offer color baby
monitor choices, multiple camera monitors, zooms, pans
and night vision. Many parents purchase this "luxury"
system reticently, wondering if it’s really necessary,
but quickly find that they love watching their baby
giggling, chatting, waking up and falling asleep.
Choosing Your Baby Monitor With Many Options
When purchasing a wireless, video monitoring system,
you’ll need to consider how you intend to use it first.
Some 5" to 7" video baby monitors attach underneath
cabinets in a more permanent way, while others can be
propped up on any nightstand or countertop. Another
category of receivers are the handheld varieties, allowing
you the ability to roam freely, while watching your
baby on a smaller 1.8" screen.
The actual baby monitor camera may be mounted to the
wall, attached to the crib or affixed to a bookshelf.
Can you pan, tilt, zoom or get a wide-angle view of
the room with your camera? These are all options to
consider, and it’s important to note that they do not
come one standard way, across the board.
Colour Or Black And White
Another feature to consider for your wireless video
baby monitor is the resolution/picture quality you require.
You’ll need to decide whether black-and-white will suffice,
or if you want one in color. Some systems also come
with night-vision so you can watch your baby in the
dark, without disturbing him or her.
Some of the older models have bulkier screens, whereas
the newer models offer flat-screens, LCD baby monitor
screens and high-definition technology screens. Your
screen can range anywhere from 1.8 inches to 7 inches.
Do you need an output to your computer or TV screen?
These are all factors to consider.
Look For Interference On Cheaper Models
One last thing to consider for your wireless video
baby monitor is interference. Digital monitors have
less trouble with this than analog baby monitors, and
remote locations are less at-risk than more rural, spread-out
households. In some cases, parents will see their neighbors’
babies if they’re using the same brand of monitoring
system, or household appliances and cordless phones
will send static and jumbled pictures through.
It’s important that you gather warranty information
in case you need to return a product. Generally speaking,
you get what you pay for with wireless baby monitors:
if you buy a cheap-o product, you’ll get
interference.
If you’re willing to pay a little more, then you should
be able to find something in the $200 to $300 range
that works just fine.

More Baby Monitors Facts....
Having a baby is a wonderful way to add another dimension
of love to your family. Babies are certainly precious
and you want to do all you can to make sure he or she
is protected at all times. Most parents cannot be with
their baby twenty-four hours a day. There are just certain
times when the baby is going to be alone.
That is why most parents invest in a baby monitor.
Baby monitors have come a long way from just the simple
walkie-talkie like device. They have become the number
one way to keep an eye on your child when you cannot
be there.
