What to Look For
Video monitors give far more reassurance than audio-only — you can check position and breathing without disturbing the baby.
Check the range carefully — WiFi monitors work anywhere with internet; DECT monitors have a fixed range of 50–300m.
Two-way audio lets you soothe a baby remotely without entering the room and potentially waking them fully.
Night vision quality varies enormously — check real-world review photos taken in darkness before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions
WiFi baby monitor vs DECT — which is more secure?
DECT monitors use a dedicated radio frequency and don't connect to the internet — they are impossible to hack remotely. WiFi monitors are convenient but require a strong password and two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorised access.
Do I need a breathing monitor?
Standard video monitors are sufficient for healthy term babies. Movement/breathing monitors (Owlet, Angelcare) provide extra reassurance for parents of premature babies or those with specific medical concerns — check with your paediatrician first.
