Choosing a baby monitor is an important decision and should not be taken lightly by new parents.  Parents should first research the different types of monitors and then decide which one fits their needs.  There are a wide variety of baby monitors.  There are analog and digital sound monitors, movement monitors, and video monitors.  Each of these types of monitors come with their own set of options.  Browse our menu for choosing the right  baby monitor to fit your needs.

All baby monitors basically function the same.  They allow parents to watch their baby from another room.  Audio baby monitors are radio transmitters.  The transmitter relays the signal to the receiver when there is a sound in the baby's room.  And as long as you have the receiver in range you will be able to hear your baby.    

Analog Audio Baby Monitors

The audio analog baby monitor functions with a radio frequency and transmits a FM signal when you have the monitor on.  Most analogs use a mixed frequency .  Your receiver picks up this signal but so will anyone else's receiver that is operating on the same bandwidth.  So it is possible that you could hear other people's cell phone conversations, cordless phone, or CB radio calls through your receiver.  And that means, if you can hear other people through your receiver then they may be able to hear you through theirs.  If you are using this type analog baby monitor it is wise to turn it off when you are not monitoring your baby.

Digital Audio Baby Monitors

The digital audio baby monitor scrambles the signal before it transmits it to the receiver and then it  unscrambles the signal at the receiver.  So this makes it harder for any one else's receiver to pick up a scrambled signal from yours.  This type monitor signals provide more privacy for you.  Digital monitors have a larger reception range than the analog monitor does.  There is less interference and static with digital monitors over analog monitors also.  Digital technology makes for the better choice.
