How to Choose The Perfect Baby Monitor

The time has come for you to chose your baby monitor, but where do you begin? With so many variations on the market, it can be daunting make a decision. We've rounded up a list of the top points to consider when picking your baby monitor...

Range: 

Consider the size of your home and the distance you'll need the monitor to transmit a signal. Choose a monitor with a good range so you can move around the house and still be able to hear your baby.

Sound quality:

Look for a monitor with good sound quality so you can clearly hear your baby's cries and other noises.

Video: 

If you want a monitor with a video feature, consider the image quality and the viewing angle. Angelcare Baby Movement Monitor with video AC327 features video, and an alarm will only sound if no movement is detected after 20 seconds. Advanced software allows a second Movement Sensor Pad and Nursery Unit combination to be added, meaning it's perfect for monitoring multiples.

Battery life:

If you plan to take the monitor with you when you're out and about, look for one with a long battery life.

Price:

Determine your budget and look for a monitor that meets your needs within that price range. We recommend the Babymoov New Premium Care Baby Monitor for one of our most affordable options, which features Digital Green Technology and combines the performance of digital technology (zero interference and clear digital sound) with low-wave emission levels to ensure baby is safe at all times. The handy two-way walkie-talkie feature allows you to communicate with baby via the monitor, without having to go into the nursery every time.

Additional features: 

Some monitors come with additional features such as temperature sensors, two-way audio, or the ability to connect to your smartphone. Decide which features are important to you and look for a monitor that has them.
