Smart Baby Monitor, Video Camera for Nursery

A baby monitor is bought for one reason: so you can leave the room without wondering. This smart monitor puts a camera in the nursery and the view on your device, which means checking on a sleeping baby without opening a door that creaks.

What it changes day to day

• See your baby rather than guessing from a sound alone
• Check in from another room, the garden, or downstairs with the door shut
• Useful during naps, when a quick look avoids a full disturbance
• Helps you learn the difference between settling noises and a genuine wake-up
• Reduces the number of times you go in and accidentally wake a baby who was resettling

Setting it up sensibly

Mount or place the camera so it gives a clear view of the cot, and keep the unit and any cable well out of your baby reach. Cables near a cot are a strangulation risk, so route them away from the sides and secure any slack. Change any default password on setup and keep the firmware current.

Questions worth asking

What is the camera range and resolution? Check the current specification on this listing before ordering, as camera capability is the detail that varies most between monitor models.

Does it replace checking on your baby? No. It is a supplement to the safe sleep basics, not a substitute for them.

Where should the camera go? Somewhere with a clear view of the cot and well beyond arm reach, with all cabling routed away from the cot sides.
