Product Information

It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. I found myself wishing that I could control the night-light or the noises playing from the monkey via the parent unit, but it has only volume buttons and on/off controls. This dual-camera functionality is a great concept, as it means you needn’t take your eye off your baby when you want to scan the nursery.

You can’t keep the monitor’s audio feed playing in the background while you navigate away from the home screen to use other functions on your phone.

The Eufy 720p Video Baby Monitor pairs the display unit from the Eufy SpaceView Pro with a less capable camera that you can’t pan or tilt remotely. CBeebies Radio takes you to a world of sound, music and voices that can help develop children’s listening and imagination.The Cubo’s 1080p Sony lens is wide-angle and rotatable, which means it gives a good range of view of the crib and provides a crystal clear picture. The display unit was able to maintain a solid connection to the camera everywhere in a three-story home, and it stayed connected the longest (though with an increasingly pixelated image) during our walk down the street.

The Owlet monitor itself sends real-time motion and sound alerts direct to your smartphone when your baby moves or makes a noise. With real-time sleep and awake data and alerts for rollovers, “face covered,” and more, there’s plenty covered in the app should you feel the need for reassurance in those first six months. Automatic updates are enabled by default on both the Nanit Pro and the VTech RM7766HD, but you can also double-check that your monitor is downloading the latest software and firmware to patch any security holes or to address issues as they arise.

The receiver on this monitor played the story back perfectly from two rooms away (the other audio-only monitors we tested didn’t). Press the 2 instrument buttons to hear groovy sounds and melodies or turn the dial for an introduction to words and numbers. Aside from that major pain, we’ve seen multiple reviewer comments noting regular app glitches and video-loading issues, although we didn’t experience those problems personally. You can simply move your finger to pan, tilt, and zoom around the room, so you get a clear picture of the nursery.

A baby monitor, also known as a baby alarm, is a radio system used to remotely listen to sounds made by an infant. We think the night light on the loop of the baby unit makes for a nice touch, as does the talk-back feature that lets you talk to your baby through the unit so you can soothe them back to sleep. Though it offers easy-to-use navigation buttons and a nice, slim display unit, its zoom is not powerful, and its night-mode video looks pixelated. Software was to blame in the case of the iBaby camera vulnerability in 2020; that security hole made it possible for just about anyone with an iBaby camera to see other users’ iBaby data.Although commonly used, there is no evidence that these monitors prevent SIDS, and many doctors believe they provide a false sense of security. I didn’t like the loud announcement to keep the monitor and cords away from the baby every time it powered up (you can just imagine that announcement jerking a sleeping child awake), and it has noise cancellation on by default unless the sound is at the highest setting. The Infant Optics DXR-8 was our runner-up pick in a previous version of this guide, prior to 2022, and it was our main pick in a version before that.
