Audio baby monitors only make use of sounds while video baby monitors make use of a camera and transmitter to send video feeds to a LCD receiver. LCD or Liquid Crystal Display are the choice of manufacturers in video baby monitors since it is light, and is the best mobility wise compared to CRT devices. There is really not much difference between the two in terms of monitoring quality except for the fact that wired devices use wires while the wireless ones don t. If you intend to use the video monitor at only one location, then you may opt to use the wired version. But if you intend to use the video monitor in different places all over the house then it would be a good idea to avail of the wireless devices. Video Monitoring Options A basic baby monitor allows you to hear whatever's happening in the baby's bedroom. Then again, technological innovations have made it possible to combine sound and visual monitoring. Although the video option seems like a brilliant idea, you still won't be able to stare at the screen all the time. Through this, mothers are able to do what must be done around the house thereby accomplishing a lot. From the time baby monitors have been first released, countless of innovations have been made. A variety of products not only permits auditory signals to be heard but even allow the mother from the receiver s end to visualize their baby and play music to soothe the baby even from a distance. The major set-back of this variety is the tendency of other receivers picking up the same signal that your monitor transmits, thus less privacy and disturbances are possible. On the other hand, the digital model may cost a little more but it provides more privacy and usually has a wider range of reception than analog. Then again, if you live in an apartment building with a dozen or more tenants, you could come across a number of additional setbacks every time you try to use a wireless device. Baby monitors in blocks of flats definitely face the challenge of interfering with each other. Fixing Wireless Interference Baby monitors basically provide parents with an extra pair of eyes or ears.
