Tips To Consider When Choosing A Baby Monitor

Parents looking to find a baby monitor may be in for a surprise when they find out that it's not as easy as it used to be to choose

. If you were to look back to even just 10 years ago, you would probably find only a few choices for baby monitors which only offered a few features, but these days baby monitors can practically do just about anything (except changing your baby's diaper of course)! Perhaps you only need a monitor which can transmit sounds, or maybe you want something more complex that can record both audio and visual surveillance, but either way, all you have to do is use these tips as a guide when choosing your next baby monitor.

You probably have friends and family members who have been parents; what brands do they use and trust? Just as importantly, are there any particular monitors that someone had to discard for some reason? If you want to find out which baby monitors are a good value, asking people you know can be the best place to start. You might even be able to inherit one from someone who doesn't need theirs anymore. Then you wouldn't even have to worry about shopping around to find the best monitor! When asking for information, don't forget to ask exactly what they do or don't like. Reviews like "it's okay" aren't going to do you a whole lot of good!

Be mindful about the frequency of operation, a lot of cheaper monitors work at a frequency of 49 Mhz. This is the frequency that has the most interference (which might be why the monitors are so cheap). One unusual aspect of these cheaper monitors is they pick up unwanted radio frequency signals such as cell phones and even neighboring baby monitors. But higher frequency monitors don't have those problems, plus they're easier to operate. However, you can side-step these problems by getting a monitor operating at 2.4 Ghz.

How many options do you want? If you are living in a small home, you may not even have room for a more extensive system, which is why you might need something more along the lines of a base station or single receiver setup. Multiple receivers are a good option for those who have more space, for those who live in a larger home, or for those who have larger families already. If you choose a multiple receiver system, you should find one that will allow you to use the receivers for outbound communication as well as inbound. Deciding on more than one receiver can be useful if you don't always want to be carrying it around, and also is useful if you have more than one child. Narrowing down your choices isn't actually that difficult either, when it comes to choosing the right monitor. Considering things like the shape, size, and cost of the monitor should all be an important factor in your final decision. If you start shopping without thinking of what you really want or need, you could end up wasting a lot of your valuable time, just take your time and research before you start shopping.
