One problem that baby monitors suffer from is the fact that you either have to rely on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for them to work. And you would be forgiven for thinking that’s not really an issue. But, the problem with either of these solutions is the fact that they can be hacked or, in the case of Wi-Fi, could cut out at any moment. So, to protect your privacy and the connection, you could take advantage of this set that utilises FHSS (Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum) instead of the other options. FHSS is basically a radio signal transmitting system that uses a large spectral band and constantly changes the frequencies to prevent interference and eaves-dropping. Bye-bye hacking concerns!
That’s one problem dealt with, what about the actual monitoring capabilities? Well, the monitoring unit has a 5.5” screen in full HD with 1080p resolution for starters and also has a split-screen mode so if you have more than one baby to keep an eye on, you don’t need to buy a second one as you get 2 cameras included in this set. There is also two way communication so if you need to sooth your toddler or gently remind them it’s sleep-time and not play-time you’ve got it covered.
There is also the ability to play white noise through the camera and you can even have it play the built-in lullabies to help sooth baby to sleep. As well as the white noise and lullabies, there is a night light with up to 6 colours and adjustable lighting levels, perfect for those little ones that need a bit of light at night time. The battery life is good for a whole night at full power (about 12 hrs) and there is a sound-activated eco-mode that automatically starts recording – it lets the battery last for 20 hrs before recharging easily enough for two nights (if you’re lucky enough that they sleep that long!).
