When I had my babies I didn’t have a video monitor but it sure would have been nice. We were on a budget and didn’t want to fork out the extra cash so we went with an audio only monitor. In retrospect, the extra money would have been well worth it.Investing in a good baby monitor before the baby is born can give you a sense of security, knowing that you’ll be able to keep tabs on your precious bundle at all times. Purchasing a quality video monitor is key because it will come in handy well beyond the baby years. Video baby monitors are a great tool for supervision of toddlers, preschoolers and even school aged children.
Our kids bedrooms and playroom is upstairs. It’s like they have their own little apartment up there! It’s nice to be able to check in on them without having to go up and down the stairs all the time. My oldest is five and my girls are 4 and 2. They still need lots of supervision but it’s nice to be able to give them a little freedom too.
The Motorola Remote Wireless Video Baby Monitor is a great choice for monitoring kids (or pets!) of all ages. It includes:
- Parent unit with 2.8″ color screen and rechargeable battery pack
- Baby unit (audio/video)
- Power adapter for each of the units
The features of this particular model (MBP41) include:
- Up to 590ft range
- Remote pan, tilt and zoom
- Infrared night vision
- High sensitivity microphone
- 2-way communication
- Out of range alert
Up to 4 additional cameras can be added to the parent monitor to support multiple viewing angles. Great for a baby nursery or a children’s play room, theMotorola Remote Wireless Video Baby Monitor retails for around $200.
For me, the best feature of this video baby monitor is the two-way communication. I can tell the kiddos to quit climbing on the furniture or ask them if they are ready for a snack. Watching kids interact on a monitor can be very entertaining. It’s funny the things they say or do when they think you aren’t watching or listening!
