Nursery Pal Glow+ 5″ (£169.99): Innovative design and clear picture even in the dark.
8. Best baby monitor for families with multiple children
- Type: Physical movement baby monitor with sensor pad tracking plus video
- Range: 250m
- Screen size: 4.3″
- Two-way communication? Yes
- Pan, tilt & zoom? Zoom and pan
- Night vision? Yes
- App compatible? No
Why we love it: Complete with SensAsure™ technology for high sensitivity movement detection, the Angelcare AC327 is a top pick for families with multiple children, as it has different capabilities for children of different age ranges.
Pros: Movement detection can be turned off for older kids of toddler age, while additional cameras allow for multiple room monitoring, for example in a playroom and nursery.
Cons: No night light.
Customers are saying: Easy to set up, picks up all the sounds you need to hear – sniffles, crying etc. – and the zoom function is super helpful when you want a little closer look to check all’s ok.
9. Best non-wifi baby monitor
Why we love it: A top pick for buyers that want a baby monitor without wi-fi enabling to prevent any connectivity hiccups, the Babymoov Yoo Moov gives parents a full 360 degree view of their child and, like many of the other models in this buying guide, features a night light, battery saving mode, and audio soothing functionality to help your little one drift off to sleep.
Specification:
- Type: Video
- Range: 300m
- Screen size: 4.3 inch screen
- Two-way talkback? Yes
- Pan, tilt & zoom? Yes, all three
- Night vision? No
- App compatible? No
Pros: Award-winning, features two-way audio, includes a lifetime warranty and can be upgraded with up to four extra cameras for a more in-depth picture system. It’s easy to use and does everything the other models in this guide to, except for the VTech’s night show function.
Cons: Rather premium cost-wise, though it is reduced by £30 currently.
Customers are saying: Could be louder on the talk-back feature, but generally speaking it’s got good picture quality, the 360 degree capacity is great and the reach is good in terms of using from the garden/downstairs.
10. Best baby monitor with sleep stats
Why we love it: Hi-spec and high style, the Nanit Pro baby camera is not only app connected, but includes a wearable breathing band for your baby, as well as sleep tips and stats accessible at the press of a button.
Specification:
- Type: Video, sleep analytics tracking and breathing motion monitoring
- Range: Anywhere with the iOS and Android compatible app
- Screen size: N/A app only
- Two-way talkback? Yes
- Pan, tilt & zoom? Zoom plus a birds eye view
- Night vision? Yes, HD night vision
- App compatible? Yes
Pros: The app features a cute memory section, where it documents your baby’s first full night’s sleep and achievements of the like, while the two-way audio and white noise functions help to aid in that very achievement becoming a reality.
Cons: No low battery indicator or lullabies.
Customers are saying: The travel multi-stand makes it easy to travel, and it’s generally a top pick for first-time parents.
