Video baby monitors can be the extra set of eyes you need to take care of your baby! Conventional audio monitors only allow you to hear your baby's voice and other sounds in the room where your baby is. But video monitors allow you to see what's going on in the room. So, for a doting parent like you, this is perhaps the best kind.

Even though baby monitors with video capability can be a lot more expensive than audio monitors, they are a better choice. The most important reason behind this is the versatility of these monitors. Here are some of the many different uses of these monitors.

1. Tracking baby movements: You can easily keep an eye on your baby while she sleeps. The best monitor gives you clear images of chest movement, which indicates that the baby is breathing normally. Even when she is awake, you can see her on the receiver screen and make sure that she is not trying to get out of her cot! So, you are never far from your baby, if you have a video monitor.

2. Network: The best baby monitor may be the one which you can sync with your PC or laptop via wireless technology. So even if you have to work on the computer, you can always keep an eye on your child, by having a separate video window open at all times. A bit like CCTV you may say!

3. Nanny Cam: Though you may have a nanny to take care of your toddler while you are away, it is never a bad idea to check whether she's doing a good job. Having a baby video monitor can allow you to see whether she is actually taking care of your baby or simply dozing off!

These benefits are what make for the best baby monitor and you would surely agree!
