Video Baby Monitors
There are two types of baby monitors in the market - audio and video.
Audio baby monitors relay the sounds from the baby's room;
Video baby monitors relay not just the sounds but also the live video from the baby's room.
Needless to say, video baby monitor gives a mother peace of mind no matter where she is within her house.
Video baby monitors consist of a camera that you place in the baby's room, and a portable LCD monitor that you either carry around like a cellphone, or place on your table - work area, or fix on the wall like a wall phone.
The camera requires A/C power; the monitor uses an internal rechargeable battery.
Video baby monitors dont use WiFi to work; they use a 2.4ghz signal like a common cordless phone, so they should work just about anywhere as long as the monitor is "in range" of the camera.
