As a new parent, you may be asking yourself, "Are safety baby monitors really necessary?" In the 1950s, baby monitor reviews claimed that "These gadgets can enable mom to do all the cooking and cleaning, without worrying about the baby" and called them "the nannies of the future!" The early monitor systems involved a baby transmitter and a parent receiver, with audio signals transmitting every cry, gurgle and baby talk. Modern digital monitors have cameras that allow parents to see every move, yet are cameras essential or just a parent pacifier? Really, the answer depends upon the individual, but here are some things to consider if you do breakdown and buy one. When browsing for a baby monitor, the most important factor is clear reception. Muffled, fuzzy or screeching sounds will be distracting and difficult to discern from ambient sounds. With low-end wireless baby monitors, cordless telephone conversations may come through the channel or simple everyday appliances like microwaves may jumble the pictures or sounds. The best way to avoid interference is to purchase a quality baby infant monitor that has a similar range to your home size. If you buy one that is too large, it will be easier to pick up the neighbor's frequencies. Also, tests show that digital baby monitors have less trouble with interference than analog baby monitors, so that should be considered as well. If you do settle on an analog monitor, ensure that your cordless phone and monitor do not work off the same Gigahertz frequency and look for a model that offers at least two different channel selections. Another factor to consider with safety baby monitors is the warning system. With a low-end wireless baby monitor system, the battery could die suddenly without warning, parents could walk out of range without knowing and a baby could stop breathing without an alert. The best baby monitors will come with a built-in warning system of lights and/or beeps to let you know if you've gone out of reach, if your battery power is low or if your baby is in danger. The lights are also a useful feature because it allows parents the option of turning off the sound and relying on a series of flashing lights to tell when the baby is distressed. In conclusion, safety baby monitors are no absolutely necessary but they are useful tools for new parents. Video baby monitors all parents to see when the baby has awakened, so they know when to get the baby from the crib, without waiting for the warning screams. They can also reveal if the baby is caught up in the blankets, gnawing on the crib or in some other sort of less than ideal position. Parents can also see if the family pets or their other children are bothering the baby in some way. For moms and dads worried about sleep apnea, breathing troubles or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, these systems can provide great peace of mind.
