Video Monitors

For decades, people have used baby monitors to determine if their child was awake and in need in the next room. However, until recently, these were only audio monitors, and there was no way to see if your child was awake or asleep, dreaming or hurting. Baby video monitors have entered the market and become an instant success, allowing Mom to simply turn over in the middle of the night and look at the screen to assure that Baby is sleeping soundly.

Especially in the summer, an infant video monitor can afford a great safety margin. Statistics show that SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is more frequent during summer months, perhaps because allergies causing nasal and sinus blockage run higher or because heat presses down. Having a baby video monitor that can allow parents to see their child’s sleeping position in time to go correct it can help prevent many such occurrences. Even if your child is facing up in the crib, you can tell from a video monitor if your child is breathing appropriately, with a view of your child’s chest moving up and down with each peaceful breath.

With a wireless baby video monitor, you can also use the camera to make sure your child is safe during waking hours; carrying your monitor around the house and watching your child play in his or her crib or playpen. A broadcast video monitor is an excellent tool to make sure that your nanny or babysitter is acting appropriately as well. With so many infant fatalities due to abuse and mistreatment by those who are supposed to take care of children while parents are away, using such a device can allow you to broadcast to a website and view what is going on in your house real time, even when you aren’t at home, to make sure your child is safe.

An LCD video monitor will give you a crystal clear picture of your child in brilliant color. You can even create a two-way video monitor using small cameras in the portable devices so that you can sing your child back to sleep after a bad dream without ever leaving your bed. Your child will be comforted to see your face, even on a screen. A video baby monitor is a great tool for assuring your child’s safety. A major improvement over a standard audible monitor, this tool will leave no doubts as to what situation your child is in at any time.
