Collection: Baby Monitors

A baby monitor as a baby camera and nursery monitor, lets you hear or see your baby while they sleep in another room, giving peace of mind without hovering. The main choice is audio versus video: audio monitors just carry sound, while video monitors add a camera so you can see baby too. Think about whether you want to watch as well as listen, the range you need around your home, and features like night vision and temperature.

Audio or video baby monitor?

The two types suit different needs:

• Audio monitor: carries sound only, so you hear when baby stirs or cries. Simple, cheaper, and enough for many families.
• Video monitor: adds a camera to a screen or phone, so you can see baby as well as hear them, usually with night vision for the dark.

Choose audio if you just want to hear baby; choose video if you want to check on them without opening the door and risking a wake-up.

What features matter on a baby monitor?

A few features earn their keep. Range matters — the monitor must reach from the nursery to wherever you are, including outside if you use the yard. Night vision lets a video monitor show baby in a dark room. A temperature display tells you if the nursery is too hot or cold. Two-way talk lets you soothe baby through the monitor. Battery life on the parent unit matters for overnight use. Decide which of these you'll actually use — range and night vision are the common priorities — and match the monitor to them.

Are Wi-Fi baby monitors secure?

A wireless baby monitor over Wi-Fi streams to your phone from anywhere, which is convenient, but because they connect to the internet they can in theory be accessed if not secured. If you choose a Wi-Fi monitor, protect it with a strong, unique password, keep its software updated, and buy from a reputable brand with good security. A non-Wi-Fi monitor uses a closed radio link to its own parent unit, which can't be reached over the internet, so it's simpler and self-contained. For a phone-based monitor secure it properly; for a self-contained closed system, a dedicated parent-unit monitor suits.

Common questions

Do I need a video or audio baby monitor?
Audio carries sound so you hear baby; video adds a camera so you can see them too. Video suits parents who want to check without opening the door; audio is simpler and cheaper.

What range does a baby monitor need?
Enough to reach from the nursery to wherever you'll be, including the garden if you use it. Check the stated range and that it works through the walls of your home.

Are Wi-Fi baby monitors safe?
They can be, if secured with a strong password, kept updated, and bought from a reputable brand. A non-Wi-Fi monitor with a closed link to its own parent unit avoids internet access entirely.

What is two-way talk on a monitor?
Two-way talk lets you speak to baby through the monitor from the parent unit or app, so you can soothe them with your voice without going into the room.

Yes. You can split it with Afterpay, Zip, Klarna or PayPal Pay in 4. Our baby monitors start from $53, which is four fortnightly payments of about $13.25.
