Baby Monitor Advice

Baby monitors for the nursery

Baby monitors give you the assurance of hearing and in some cases seeing baby while you are in another room. They provide peace of mind for parents about their baby and he / she is sleeping safe and sound. Also if baby is awake and needs you, you can be there in moments.

It is worth pointing out that baby monitors are not intended to be a replacement for parents supervision, so you still need to check in on baby regularly.

As technology advances, the number and features available in baby monitors also advances. There are three main groups of baby monitor devices, namely Analogue, Digital and Video baby monitors.

Below details a very brief overview of each type of baby monitor and each type is available from the 4little1s.com website should you decide to purchase one.

Analogue Baby monitors:

Broadly speaking a simple and cost effective way of listening in on baby in the nursery. The main draw back being reception and interference for other devices around the home including devices in close proximity to you such as your next door neighbours devices. In some cases it has been reported that you can hear the next door neighbours baby cry thinking its your baby.

Digital monitors:

Digital baby monitors come in two different types of flavours, that is standard or DECT. Digital baby monitors can still pick up some interference but not much. Digital baby monitors provide a clearer sound but are generally more expensive.

Video baby monitors:

Fundamentally a digital monitor as above except you have the added feature of seeing baby.

Some of the items to look out for on baby monitors include Room temperature alerts, nightlights, motion sensors, sound sensitive lights, two way talk back and out of range alarms.
