Tip 1: comfort your child remotely
With many baby monitors, you can comfort your child remotely. You can do this with the two-way audio, for example. This way, you can hear your child via the parent unit, and your voice comes out of the camera or baby unit in the baby room. The advantage of this is that you don't have to go to the baby room right away when your child is simply restless. Another possibility is to put on a lullaby or nightlight remotely. That way, you can create a nice ambiance and comfort your child.

If you have a baby monitor with a camera, you want to see your child well. Sometimes, it's enough to put your camera on a cabinet and aim it at your child. With some baby monitors, you can move the camera from a distance, so you'll always see what you want. You can hang other baby monitors on the wall with a screw or magnet. Do you want a top-down view of your child, you can use a mount for the bed or crib.
Tip 3: expand your baby monitor
You can easily expand some baby monitors with various accessories. If you're having a second or third child, you can order an extra camera or baby unit. That way, you know exactly what happens in the different baby rooms. If you want to monitor the breathing, heart rate, and movement of your baby in addition to audio and video, we recommend a sensor mat. Does the baby monitor have a bad range in your home?

That's because you don't need connect the camera or baby unit and your smartphone to the same network. The expansion function is also very useful. This way, you can give multiple people access to the app, so your partner or parents can also see into the baby room. Some baby monitors also offer a record function in the app, so you can record a video of your child for later.
