subject: A Video Monitor For The Baby Is The Way [print this page] A video monitor can let you see the baby at all times. This monitor is a must have for all parents, and expecting parents. It provides a calm piece of mind by allowing you to always see that your child is safe and sound, even when you cannot be by their side. A video monitor works by transmitting a high resolution color video signal to a hand held receiver that can go with you wherever you are in the house. These are are quickly replacing audio-only baby monitors, and with their impressive list of features, it is no surprise.
A great feature of a video baby monitor is that it is completely wireless. This means that there is no complicated installation required, and that you can also take the receiver with you anywhere you go. Most units are able to transmit a high quality signal up to around 350 ft and do not interfere with any other wireless devices in your home.
An impressive feature of these monitors is their ability to transmit video in complete darkness. They are able to do this because they come equipped with Infrared LED lights that will automatically turn on when low light is detected. This allows you to keep an eye on your child even when he or she is sleeping during the night.
Higher end systems also allow you to control the camera from the receiver. This functionality is referred to as "Remote Panning and Tilting". Keep an eye out for this feature if you would like to have the ability to change what the monitor's camera sees in case your baby moves out of its viewing range.
Since the digital baby monitors do emit some type of radiation, although it is very low, keep your digital monitor as far away from your baby as possible. Keeping it somewhere on a dresser in their room is perfect. As far as the base is concerned, you no longer have to keep it away from the microwave.
New and improved baby monitors are a blessing for both you and your baby. Knowing that your baby is safe and sound, sleeping in their room allows you to get more done without having to disturb them.
