Take note though that wireless video monitors also have their limitations. The device for the baby and the device for the parents must be in their proper range with each other or else wireless intermittent connection may occur. Conventional Baby Monitors VS Baby Video Monitors The question whether to use the conventional simplex baby monitors or the baby video monitors will all fall down to preference. However, with the many different types available in the market, new parents may find it puzzling to choose which monitor would be the most practical purchase for their budget. And so, with whatever type of monitor you want to purchase whether audio, video, digital or analog- here are a few qualities that you should always find in a good monitoring device. If you live in a small apartment or if your baby's room is only a couple of rooms away, then virtually any type of baby monitor will suffice. On the other hand, parents who own bigger houses or live in multi-story residences require a device that has a longer range. In this way, they will know for certain that the transmitter and receiver will not falter even in extended distances. LCD or Liquid Crystal Display are the choice of manufacturers in video baby monitors since it is light, and is the best mobility wise compared to CRT devices. Baby monitors that use live video feeds may only be of two things: wired or wireless. Wireless devices are convenient and are the good partners for video baby monitors that use LCD screens as the parents unit. Mobile baby monitors make it possible for parents to keep tabs on their infants without the necessity of staying awake or standing outside the nursery door all night. A typical baby monitor set consists of two parts: a radio transmitter and a portable receiver. The radio transmitter must be positioned 8 to 10 feet away from your baby's crib. With the video baby monitor installed, you can continually monitor your baby without having to stand up and going to your baby in the next room. The wireless video baby monitor however has a larger scope of use. Since it is wireless, you can go anywhere around the house while bringing an LCD monitor to keep track of the status of your baby.
