Are video baby monitors any good?







Are video baby monitors any good?
The idea sounds great but I'm just wondering if they actually work.
Do they interfere with wireless internet, tv or anything?
Any recommended brands?



Answer
Hi,
we have a mobicam video baby monitor and are really pleased with it.
We considered the summer brand too but it came down to price as we didn't have much spare cash what with the new baby etc.
The summer has a good reputation but we've had no regrets about buying the mobicam. The picture is very clear, audio very good and the range is also excellent - I can take the parent's unit right to the end of our garden and still get good reception. We've had no problems with the mobicam interfering with any other wifi devices either.

looking for a baby monitor?

I am looking for a baby monitor that will work best in my situation.

It will be used in a 2 story townhouse and only for nap times when he is sleeping upstairs and I am downstairs. I don't need it to work outside b/c we don't have a yard. It needs to work with wireless internet without static interference. I am not interested in a motion mat or video. I'd like to find a good one that is relatively inexpensive.

We bought a fisher price one but it has too much static.



Answer
You will find static on all that are analog --- just to varying degrees. Digital monitors aren't prone to interference like analog monitors are. So, digital ones don't get interference from other devices.

I've had two monitors that I really like ... one digital and one analog.

The digital one is by Safety First. It had no static interference, good battery life and good range:

The analog one is Sony Baby Call. It does have static, but it has "noise sensing technology" so when the level of ambient noise in the room is constant it shuts off --- so you hear absolutely nothing. When the noise changes (ie: your baby crying, moving around etc) it will turn on. It also has 27 channels to choose from so you are likely to find one with minimal static interference. And, because it shuts off you won't hear any noise coming from the monitor when your baby is asleep.
