Best Baby Monitor Features

​Any new parent knows that it’s important to keep a close eye on your little bundle of joy. Baby monitors are a great way to make sure all is well in the nursery. With advancements in technology, these devices have come a long way from being basic audio monitors. But which features are most important? Here are some factors Reviews.com looked at when they reviewed various popular baby monitors:

Who wouldn't want to keep an eye on these precious little ones?

We looked for monitors that had parents’ go-to features.
Picture
Nearly 100 monitors on our initial list offered infrared night vision, volume control, and support for additional cameras. To narrow our search, we earmarked particularly useful qualities we saw mentioned again and again on parenting sites. We only considered monitors that met at least two of our four criteria:
  • Microphone sensitivity: There’s a difference between hearing your baby cry, and hearing every little noise. All baby monitors have the option to turn down the volume, but some offer thresholds for parents who are more comfortable with only hearing the biggest upsets, and prefer not to hear the self-comforting noises their baby makes as they fall asleep.​

  • Audio display: Even when the monitor is muted, an audio display will show you how loud your baby is with a little chart on the screen. If you want to listen to music for a while without the background white noise, an audio display will let you know if your baby is only quietly cooing in their sleep, or if they are well awake and need attention.​
  • Two-way talk: It’s not intended to let you cry at your baby for a change, but being able to talk to your little one can help soothe them in the moment, or offer just enough reassurance that they might fall back asleep. As your child gets a little older, it’s an easy way to gently remind them to stop playing around and go to sleep.
Picture
  • Temperature Sensor: Babies are particularly susceptible to overheating and hypothermia because they can’t regulate their body temperature as well as adults. Monitors with these sensors display the room temperature on your screen so you don’t have to check your home system, and some will alert you when the room becomes too hot or too cold.

Online Resources is something that we make use of here at New Beginnings.  We are blessed to be sent those online resources by members of the community, staff, and volunteers to be used to help educate and learn more about things available to our residents and our readers.
