VPNs for ad-blocking Baby monitors are must-have baby equipment for most families, and with ever advancing technology in this field we’re spoilt for choice. The latest models are teeming with extras way beyond a decent camera and sound. Smart monitors allow you to check in on baby’s breathing with apps, play soothing lullabies and check the air quality (even if there’s no substitute for a good air purifier or portable air-con). Our list below covers the latest, greatest and safest baby monitors to suit every kind of family’s need. It has a 4.3” colour LCD display, night vision and the clever Baby Watch feature so you can see the baby from anywhere in the world. You’re also able to soothe the baby with your voice remotely with its walkie-talkie like function. Settling babies can be hard with a capital H, but a calming nightlight and built-in lullabies offer a helping hand. If you’re worried about security, the BW 3101 has a digitally encrypted system to prevent hacking. Beyond its distinctive design, it doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the Smart stakes. The picture is very clear thanks to the excellent video quality and its camera is Alexa-enabled. You can pair it to a smartphone to view a live feed, and it’s a cinch to check in with the app for notifications if the baby is crying or if the air quality plummets. Wi-Fi monitors can be at high risk of hacking, but with this device, you can choose to safeguard baby’s privacy by opting for the local Wi-Fi option. What blows our mind though are the many extras; air quality control alerts, a pre-loaded playlist of soothing lullabies, white noise and even smell-o-vision via its clever TVOC smell sensor) feature. Yep, you read that right -the iBaby lets you know when it’s time for a nappy change. If it could make the smell disappear it would be a perfect 10. A unique feature is that it comes with multiple easy-to-swap lenses enabling you to choose between standard and zoom, and you can purchase an additional wide-angle lens too. Essentially it’s just like a professional camera system, allowing you to pick the most suitable viewing angle and focal length for the specific environment. It’s packed with features like remote camera pan and tilt, infrared night vision and has a talk-back function. It can also be wall-mounted, and the parent monitor unit is lightweight. The sensor shows you the temperature in baby’s room, the camera monitor can be moved remotely and it plays of choice of five lullabies to help soothe baby to sleep. It’s a little expensive at roughly $190 considering its limited feature set. But if simplicity is what you’re after, VTech’s baby monitor is a hoot. Wrapping comfortably around the child’s foot it can track oxygen levels, heart rate and sleep using clinically-proven pulse oximetry. This is perfect if your baby is on oxygen and you want to make sure everything is okay when bub isn’t right by your side. For some people, the oxygen tracking and heart-rate monitoring could be a little too much information; especially with the potential of false alarms. It comes with a base station that glows green when everything is fine, and notifies you with lights and sounds if oxygen levels or heart rates leave preset zones. If you also like to peek in no matter where you are, it’s able to stream HD video and audio to an app. Anxious parents will love this feature as it alerts you if the baby stops moving, tracking the most subtle changes such as breathing. It offers the choice of being wall-mounted or used as a tabletop, has a 5-inch LCD touchscreen, night vision capability and the room temperature display is easy to read turning blue if it’s too cold or red if it’s too hot. It offers two-way talk, but unlike many of the other models we looked at doesn’t offer lullabies and white noise. You won’t miss anything baby is up to as you’re able to stay connected and view anywhere, at any time. It offers crystal clear 1080p High Definition vision and advanced night vision allows you to monitor bub’s every move, even if it’s pitch black. If a baby needs soothing it offers calming lullabies and white noise or if your voice is the only thing that settles the baby, you can record it. Another cool feature is its multi-coloured night light that offers countless variations when it comes to brightness and warmth. This super Smart bunny works a treat with Alexa and other systems. There’s also a number of replaceable silicone skins, such as a puppy version, if you want to mix it up a bit. The white camera’s distinctive design allows you to position it right on top of where baby sleeps, where it can detect motion in the crib and beyond. The power cord is housed in a metal pole so there’s no fear that a curious baby will be able to tug at it. We love that it works over Wi-Fi even if the Internet is down. Other smart functions include a temperature gauge, two-way audio to speak with your baby, nature sounds (but no lullabies) and a brilliant app that even offers sleep tips based on your tot’s tracking information. The included stand, humidity and temperature monitoring, a crisp 1080p stream that works day and night, in-built lullabies, white noise and night light. Many of these accessories and features are things you’d typically have to pay extra for but the Cubo AI Plus is an all-inclusive purchase, but an expensive one at that. There are a few notable omissions for its price too, like a standalone monitor or rechargeable battery. We wouldn’t recommend it for anyone shopping on a budget, but if you’re willing to splash out, the Cubo AI Plus (mostly) makes up for its premium price with its suite of advanced features lullabies) and a brilliant app that even offers sleep tips based on your tot’s tracking information.
