Going digital in such technologies has many benefits, but there really are minimal risks involved. The digital models of baby monitors have proven over the years to be better in reception as compared to that of the older analog version. These models have also proven to be much better at providing privacy for the family. Another minor disadvantage of this kind of baby monitoring is that you have to confide with the company if you want something to be changed positions, monitoring gadget, monitoring system, etc. Unlike when using your off the shelf baby monitor which you can position to your liking anytime anywhere, you still have to wait for their personnel to come and do it for you. Another advantage is that the digital models do not have as much static and they give a clearer sound quality so you can hear your baby better. Video monitorsallow you to see and hear your child by combining sound and video just like miniature TV sets. They use a small camera either mounted on the wall, table or crib to transmit the images into the LCD display. It has been the topic of discussions that baby monitors, especially audio types, pick up more than just sounds coming from the baby. Some parents tell stories of their baby monitors picking up EVPs. What are EVPs EVP is short for the term Electronic Voice Phenomenon. EVPs pertain to sounds or voices that are allegedly coming from beyond the grave. After nine long months of waiting, finally a baby is born into this world. Seeing how cumbersome the baby is, the parent s protective nature is invoked. Any parent would vow to do everything for the baby and would not let anything harm the newborn. She would want to keep an eye on her child 24/7. However, there are a variety of roles that a parent has to perform. Video Monitoring The latest models of baby monitors also feature several other options that takes the pressure off monitoring your baby 24/7. The video monitoring capability of some model allows you to watch over your baby anytime and anywhere in your house. You may even avail of the web cast feature that makes it possible for a parent, who's away on a business trip, to keep track of their baby or kid at home.
