When shopping for the best baby safety video monitor, it’s important to consider your specific needs.

Range: If you’re not using a WiFi monitor, you’ll need to keep the strength of your signal in mind. Do you have a large house with multiple floors, where distance is a consideration? Or an apartment or bungalow where you’re unlikely to be far from the baby’s naptime?

Camera quality: Some parents want to sneak a glance at the baby during the night for a little quick peace of mind, while others want to be able to see the pattern on the baby’s sheets. Fortunately, there’s a wide selection of camera resolutions to match your budget—the cameras in this roundup go from 780p all the way up to 2K Ultra HD.

Mounting type: Now that you’ve got your monitor, where are you going to put it? Some are designed to sit on a tabletop or chest of drawers. Some attach directly to the baby’s crib, and still others can be mounted directly to the wall of the nursery. Do you want to prioritize a solid and steady camera mount, or would you like to keep your setup simple?

Battery life: The best baby monitor in the world is no good if it runs out of power. This is less of a concern for WiFi monitors where the receiver is your phone, but for audio or non-WiFi monitors with a dedicated receiver unit, ask yourself how often you’ll be using it away from an outlet, and how long it’ll last when you do.
