Product Information

Some video monitors allow you to connect additional cameras, meaning you can keep an eye on children in different bedrooms.

Split screen monitors receive the audio from multiple cameras, but they generally don’t allow split audio function as it may be difficult to determine the disturbance. As a mom who’s been there and done that, I can tell you that dual camera split screen baby monitors are a real game-changer. Even a basic audio-only product means you’ll be able to hear your baby, even if you need to close their bedroom door to keep pets out.

When testing each product, we looked at video and audio quality, safety and stability, set-up, range and connectivity, screen size, battery life, features such as lullabies and two-way talkback, aesthetics, cleanliness, and how easy it was to use day-to-day.

Some dual-screen baby monitors have additional features like temperature sensors, breath monitoring, lullabies, and two-way communication. Movement monitors use special sensors to track a baby’s movement while they’re sleeping and alert you if breathing stops or becomes irregularly slow, giving you critical time to react and intervene. WiFi monitors are sometimes associated with hacking and privacy concerns and although the jury’s out on how much of an issue this actually is, it’s sensible to follow good online practice such as enabling security software updates and two-step authentication, changing the monitor's default password to a new, strong password (and updating this regularly), and only using WiFi connections that you trust. The feature that I love the most is the split screen function, which is invaluable when you have more than one infant. With infrared night vision, you can see what your baby's up to at any time of day or night, as well as being able to tilt, pan and zoom in.This is a great monitor for those that don’t like complicated tech as it plugs straight into the mains, so there’s no wires or charging to worry about. These LEDs aren’t very bright, though, so while they’ll probably catch your eye in a darkened home cinema you may not notice them under normal household light. The light flashes green so before he wore a proper sleeping bag you could see it flashing at all times but he seemed to get used to it.
