What features of video nannies should you pay attention to when choosing?

Modern video baby monitors use digital communication protocols; their capabilities are significantly expanded compared to analog devices that are becoming a thing of the past.

When choosing a gadget, you should consider a number of points:

Connection. Video baby monitors operate based on DECT, FHSS or Wi-Fi wireless technologies. The first is characterized by the absence of interference in the transmission of audio signals, the second can boast a large range and stability. The third provides the ability to integrate both the parent module and a smartphone (tablet) into the common network.
Radius of action. To monitor the baby from the next room, a device with radio coverage within 100 meters will be sufficient. In a large private house, it is more appropriate to use a device with a range of at least 300 meters. When choosing, you must take into account the fact that reinforced concrete walls are a powerful obstacle to the signal.
Children's module. Remote cameras of video nannies are usually equipped with a rotating mechanism for better viewing angles, a VOX voice activation system (responsive to the sounds of the child), a motion sensor, and a connection disconnect indicator. Advanced models can record video and sound to a memory card, take photographs and perform other tasks.
Parent block. The portable monitor for parents is equipped with a screen, control buttons, timer/alarm clock, and mode indicators. As a rule, the module is autonomous - it runs on one or more rechargeable batteries.
Additional features. Video baby monitors are multifunctional devices that can (depending on the model) measure the temperature and humidity in the room, track the child’s breathing, play lullabies, conduct video surveillance in the dark, and work as a night light. Additional functionality is reflected in the cost of the equipment.

How to connect and start using?

Connecting, setting and controlling the video baby monitor is very simple. The main thing is to position the camera correctly so that it covers the entire room, and parents can always see what the child is doing while he is alone in the room.

After purchase, it is advisable to place the device in the room and not turn it on for the first few hours, especially if transportation was carried out during the cold season, at low temperatures.

So, the video baby monitor is ready for use. First of all, both modules need to be connected to the network and checked whether a connection is established between them. The receiver should display a picture. To check the sound quality and the absence of interference, it is recommended to increase the distance between the devices. If the image is good, you need to secure it or place the camera so that it covers the entire room and the child cannot reach it.

After this, you need to start setting up the parent unit. Parents need to go through the entire house to make sure that the connection is not lost. It is also worth adjusting the brightness, image contrast, sensor sensitivity, and sound volume. Depending on the design features of the model, the receiver can be attached to a belt, installed on a table, bedside table or other surface, or hung on the wall. Thus, you can leave the baby alone for a while and do urgent household chores or relax.

Which video baby monitor is better to choose?

Let's give some more tips on choosing a device:

Of course, you should immediately decide on the price range you are counting on. Typically, all models cope with the main function—transferring an image to a monitor—in approximately the same way. But more expensive devices will have a lot of other useful parameters. And if they are not important to you, then you can opt for budget models.
An equally important component is the screen diagonal in the parent unit. It is advisable to test the gadget right away, and if the quality of the transmitted image does not suit you, refuse to purchase such a nanny in favor of a device with a wider display and a better image.
If you have several children and you plan to monitor each one, then you should take a closer look at models to which you can connect up to 4 different cameras and monitor each of them (additional cameras are purchased separately).
If you have to monitor your child at a distance of more than 300-400 meters, then you should purchase video baby monitors with IP communication technology. Because The image from the camera can be broadcast anywhere in the world directly to your smartphone or tablet. But it is worth remembering that for such a gadget to work well, high-speed Wi-Fi is required, because... Mobile Internet capabilities may not always be enough for uninterrupted signal reception.
