Rating of the best baby monitors for 2020

After the arrival of a baby in the home, many problems arise. In particular, they all relate to how to correctly and competently focus on the child. Spending time around the crib when he sleeps around the clock is exhausting. A similar problem occurs in every family, without exception. Until the moment the baby begins to understand what is dangerous and what is not, the responsibility is entirely with mom and dad. If the father is at work almost all the time, and he spends less time with the child, then the mother is with him constantly.

How can you free up some time for yourself when a child appears in the family? The easiest way to do this is during sleep, when the baby sees the angels and is not busy with anything. However, at such moments, the baby can wake up at any time. In order to be able to also have a little rest, and at the same time not spend all the time near a small crib, it is best to purchase a baby monitor.

A baby monitor is a small device made up of two blocks to be able to know from a distance whether the child is awake or not. Not a bad device that quickly burst into our world. Despite the fact that in Western countries and overseas such a device is no longer a novelty, in the CIS they are only gaining momentum. The radio nanny is a high-quality device for those parents who know that the time spent near the bed on sleepless nights can be spent on more useful things.

What is a baby monitor?

This simple device has two small components - parent and child blocks. If you look from the outside and do not think about what it is, you will get the impression of a children's radio.

The baby unit is the part of the baby monitor that is installed near the baby. It has a built-in excellent microphone with increased sensitivity. Almost every emitted noise is recorded and transmitted to the adult unit. Works only for receiving noise and transmitting to another unit. He will not be able to receive signals from another part of the baby monitor.

The parent unit is an analogue of a walkie-talkie that only works to receive signals from the baby unit. It has a volume control and is often a portable radio that is easy to carry with you. Most often, baby monitors work within a small radius. In open areas, they are able to pick up a signal from the children's unit at a distance of up to a quarter of a kilometer. In a space where there are various obstacles, walls and more, this distance is much reduced. Within a large mansion, one such device will be sufficient.

It is important to understand that most devices work on the same principle. If neighbors or people on the contrary have a similar device, then there is a great risk in the middle of the night to hear not your baby crying, but a neighbor's. To avoid this, you need to choose the right place for installing the baby monitor.

Principles of installing the device in the house

The first step is to choose the right place for the baby unit. In a child's room, it will work best attached to a wall where a window is present.Thus, the connection with the adult block will occur directly, and the wall will easily reduce the radius for neighboring devices. It should be just above the level of the bed. This is so that all the sounds of the child, made during sleep, fall in a straight line within the radius of the microphone's sensitivity.

An adult unit, although much smaller and more compact, is much more difficult to install in a house. The fact is that he will be able to pick up other signals, due to which the work will be incorrect. The adult block should be in the place where at least one of the adults spends most of the time. This could be a kitchen or a bedroom.

Second, it is necessary that there are fewer obstacles between the blocks.

And third, the device should not be within reach of children.
