What the AI looks for in Audio Baby Monitors
- Transmission
- Prefer DECT digital transmission over analog. DECT avoids static and stops neighbours' devices from picking up your baby's room.
- Visual sound indicator
- Look for a light bar that shows sound level. It lets you keep the volume low and still notice crying.
- Out-of-range alert
- The parent unit should beep when it loses the link. Without it, silence can mean either a sleeping baby or a dropped connection.
Brands that matter
- VTech: Most common reliable DECT audio monitors.
- Philips Avent: DECT audio monitors with good sound quality.
What to avoid
- Analog audio monitors that pick up interference
- Units with no out-of-range warning
