Product Information

The Angelcare AC401 is more customizable and feature packed, but it is more difficult to use and less portable. Many parents are concerned about the security and reliability of modern, wifi-connected baby monitors, instead opting for wifi-free models like this one from Leapfrog. Additional Features: 8 Lullabies, Sound Level LED Indicator, Audio-Only Saving Power Mode, Tabletop or Wall Mounting Options. The monitor hooks up to the Kodak Smart Home Mobile App, which also operates Kodak security cameras, if you have them.

It operates without the need for Wi-Fi, eliminating any hacking risks that might come with a Wi-Fi-connected monitor. It would have been useful to know that whilst you can see two separate locations using the split screen, you can’t hear sound from both rooms at the same time; I’m not sure if that is even possible, but it would be great if it was! Not only that, I can set up a clock reminder on the parent monitor for feeding, diaper changes, or other tasks, which is incredibly helpful. What this means in practice is that there’s a 2x digital crop function applied to the camera’s output, and it’s possible to pan around the image using the controls on the parent unit. The only thing that wasn’t great at first was the fact it’s actually quite big on a tiny little baby but it didn’t seem to bother him at all.In addition, toddlers are often surrounded by various background noises, from household appliances to ambient sounds. 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. This monitor is suitable from birth onwards and if you have multiples or young children sleeping in different cots or rooms, the split screen is ideal. Enjoy the built-in adjustable night light, featuring 3 intensity levels and ensure a comfortable sleeping environment in the nursery. I wish the Babysense HD Split Screen monitor had been available when I was pregnant with Iliana as I think it’s much better.

Credit: Curtis SmithThis unit scores higher in this area than the Angelcare AC401, but it is still not as portable as the Levana Oma or the Levana Oma+. The cameras can be used free-standing, but he attached them to the wall using the screws and raw plugs provided, and his drill.The passive sensor system istotally safe, emits no radiation and has no direct contact with the baby.

The 5s comes with two sensor pads, and the manufacturer recommends the use of 1 pad until the infant can roll over and move, and then adding on the second sensor. The Babysense HD Split Screen Baby Monitor comes in contemporary, easy-to-open packaging; with all components packed up nicely in separate paper boxes, without any polystyrene in sight.The night-light is great, the monitor has a longer range (300 metres versus 250 metres) and there is less background noise.

Most baby monitors are solid pieces of kit, designed to withstand knocks and drops from tired parents and boisterous toddlers. Being able to keep an eye on both my little ones, without having to switch the camera from one to the other has been immeasurably helpful. I’d be tempted to describe the Motorola MBP26 as a no-frills video baby monitor, if it weren’t for the Motorola MBP18 with its even fewer frills.The picture quality is really impressive – even during the night, thanks to the camera’s auto infrared night vision. The cost of a baby monitor will depend on the brand, the extra features and the style of monitor you choose. It’s free from any wires and is powered by an internal battery, and is set to vibrate and sound an alarm if baby’s breathing becomes weak or stops.
