A baby monitor comes in two pieces. The transmitter, which is placed in the nursery and the receiver that is placed in whatever room you are in.

Some monitors may also come with more than one receiver for a separate room of the house. For example, the second receiver could be placed downstairs if you live in a two-story home. A handheld unit can be placed next to your bed at night while your little one sleeps in a separate room.

With any electronic gadget, there are an abundance of extra features that come with baby monitors, and a price range match. With all the extra features available, the selection of a baby monitor can be as difficult as choosing a name for your precious bundle of joy. They continue to evolve and now also can utilize features such as night lights and built-in lullabies.

Digital monitors use digital communication in their link between the mobile station and the base station. Digital monitors encode the signal as it travels between the monitor and the receiver, making it nearly impossible for the sounds to be heard by others, and reduces the possibility of running into interference from other electronic devices. Digital audio wireless systems using DECT, are resistant to interference and have a range up to 300 m.

There are a few disadvantages to having a baby monitor. It is sometimes possible to hear conversations of nearby neighbors if they are using a cell or cordless phone. This has been a concern since the inception of cordless phones and can create a problem if you have a cordless phone in your own home also.

Unlike a baby monitor video that allows you to actually see the baby while in a separate room, some sensitive monitors allow you to keep a close ear on your baby’s vital signs via a blanket that is placed beneath the baby while she is sleeping. And lastly, for first-time parents, a prenatal baby monitor provides you the chance to hear your baby while he or she is in the womb.
