Having children in today’s world can be nerve-wracking. Even if you go to great lengths to baby proof your house, kids always manage to find a way to get into something or somewhere they aren’t supposed to be. Thankfully, technology has advanced to the point where smart technology has expanded to include cameras and baby monitors to help us keep our kids safe.
Here are 4 of the best baby monitors available on the market today, in no particular order.
Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor & Floor Stand
While we love standing in the doorway and watching our little ones sleep, it can get exhausting after a while. The Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor allows you to view your baby remotely. Just position the camera above the crib, and you’ll be able to see everything that happens while your little one is in bed from the comfort of your cell phone.
Also, the camera doubles as a baby monitor and will even keep track of how long your little one sleeps.
If you are one of the few people left in the country who doesn’t have a smartphone, a smart baby monitor doesn’t do you a lot of good—unless your video monitor comes with its own screen.
