If you want to get things done while your baby dozes off in another room, then purchasing this nifty gadget is certainly the way to go. Concerned parents, like you, also have the option of setting up multi-room baby monitors. Multi-room Monitoring A good number of baby monitors only have one radio transmitter and one or more portable receivers that make it possible for parents to listen in on their babies all day and all night long. With these devices, you will still be able to monitor your baby even if he or she is in another room. What Are Baby Monitors? Basically, a baby monitor, also known as a baby alarm, is a device that can be used to monitor your children or babies even if they are located in a separate room than yours. It is a simplex transmitter and receiver system that can be used to remotely listen for different noises made by your kids and babies. This is mostly based on the manufacturer and provider of your baby monitor. One great feature of some video baby monitors is the night vision capability. During night time when the lights are already switched off, you can still continue the surveillance of your baby. Low lit environments and dark rooms is not a problem with the help of the night vision feature. Baby Monitors For Deaf People The sound of a baby crying is definitely one of the most precious things in life that some parents take for granted. The case is different though with a deaf mother or father. Not being able to hear your little one is upsetting enough. What makes matters worst is the fact that a lack of ability to perceive sound can sometimes put your infant's safety at risk. Another advantage is that the digital models do not have as much static and they give a clearer sound quality so you can hear your baby better. Video monitorsallow you to see and hear your child by combining sound and video just like miniature TV sets. They use a small camera either mounted on the wall, table or crib to transmit the images into the LCD display. Heart Beat Monitor This feature is a must for the device that you will choose since no apnea monitor is 100 percent accurate in detecting cessation of breathing. This will serve as a backup in case the apnea monitor fails to detect apnea because it will also manifest in the heart rate of the baby. Another must have feature is a remote alarm.
