Baby Car Seat Facts

You may not think of Motorola when it comes to finding the best baby monitor but many of the baby monitor reviews we investigated give the Motorola MBP36 Digital Video Baby Monitor very high marks. Here's what the Motorola video baby monitor offers:

100% Digital. Your pictures are secure as the 100% digital broadcast insures absolute privacy. In addition, MBP36 encrypts the audio signal so you can rest simple that your neighbour won't be able to see or hear anything that is occurring in baby’s room.

2.4GHz broadcast. Other home devices like wireless routers also use this frequency so you should right away test the of your signal once you take this baby monitor out of the box. Most baby monitor reviews we researched didn't outline this as a controversy but it's often a good idea to check for interference. The manufacturer claims a range of over 600ft which is excellent. The MBP36 also comes with an “out-of-range” alarm so you will be notified if you are straying too far.

Color 3.5″ LCD Screen and Infrared Night Vision Technology transmitting at 25 frames-per-second on the massive, colour screen, you'll obviously see and hear everything baby is doing. At night, infrared “night vision” technology shows baby in crisp detail without any lights in the room.

Pan, Zoom and Tilt features “Babies will move around, even if sleeping, so the ability to adjust the camera up, down, left or right and then zoom in or out becomes sort of crucial.

Talk Back feature. If baby becomes disturbed and starts to stir, you can calm her by talking to her thru the camera from the remote monitor. Also, if one parent is caring for baby in baby’s room and desires to chat with the other parent in another room (”can you bring me a blanket?”), this is possible with the 2-way communication feature.

LED sound lights to observe sound without the volume, and 5 lullabies built in, to ease baby to sleep.

Expandable. You can add up to 4 cameras and a further parent monitor to this system. Really valuable if you have multiple children or simply need to monitor multiple rooms.

Room temperature monitor. The MBP36 is fitted out with a room temperature sensor which is shown on the receiver’s LCD display.

The Best Baby Monitor “What to Look For and The way to Select the Best One

As parents-to-be, we were overwhelmed by the quantity of new stuff we needed to purchase and things we had to stress about. One item we knew we couldn’t live without was a baby monitor and we knew we would have liked a video baby monitor. If you’re expecting a child and are doing research on whether or not you want a monitor and which one you can buy, this article should help you pick the best baby monitor.

First, if you’re wondering whether or not to purchase a monitor, I’ll make it plain that from my own personal experience, a baby monitor is probably the 1 item to help you sleep at night. When your newly born baby is in the crib for the 1st time, it is extremely reassuring to be able to hear baby breathing and if you have a video baby monitor, the ability to actually see your baby if you need, without going into the room and most likely waking her up, is great. I read a large amount of baby video monitor reviews and many parents agree on this point.

Once you’ve decided you want a monitor, the quantity of selections in the market is really overpowering. There’s audio only motion detectors, video baby monitors, options for digital vs. Analogue, options for night lights, lullabies the list really does go on. Here is a list to bear in mind when looking for the best baby monitor:

At what frequency does the monitor broadcast? Similar to radio waves, wireless networks and wireless telephones, a baby monitor has to send out its signals (video and audio) at a certain frequency usually in MHz or GHz. Common frequencies are 900MHz or 2.4GHz. The number 1 complaint for any baby monitor is that it interferes with other wireless home devices like wireless phones, wireless PC networks, wireless games machines and so on. Some monitors have multiple channels and can automatically find the best channel to broadcast on and avoid interference. We advocate you test any baby monitor right from the box to figure out if you are going to have any interference.

Does the baby monitor broadcast a safe, personal signal? Some analogue monitors transmit on the same frequency so if your neighbour has acquired the same video baby monitor you have, they might be able to see inside your infant’s crib and vice-versa. If privacy is necessary to you, ensure you get a monitor that broadcasts a safe signal.

Is the system expandable? Some baby monitors can expand to accommodate up to 4 cameras which is useful if your family is growing or you simply would like to observe more than one room.

What is the range of the monitor? Most monitors come with chargeable batteries (making it actually lightweight) and makers claim that video and audio can be broadcast to the remote unit with ranges up to 300-500 feet. If you live in a two story house and the signal has to go thru many walls, expect this range to reduce.

What are the other features I should look for? Depending on how much you need to spend, it’s possible to get a larger, colour screen, multiple cameras, 2-way audio (talk to baby), a temperature readout, motion detectors, the power to play lullabies and night lights. It depends on your budget and what features you would like to have.
