I think that any parent of a young child will agree that being able to keep your eye on them at all times is a must. One of the must-have items for any new or experienced parent would have to be a baby monitor! We have had a few different monitors in our 4.5 years of raising the kids, and I think we have definitely found the ideal baby monitor for all stages of parenthood.
Not matter what stage of parenting you are at: first timer, experienced, or expecting again, you will want to have a great baby monitor that will fit your needs. I’ve been using the VTech VM4261 4.3″ Digital Video Monitor with Pan & Tilt Camera, Wide Angle Lens and Standard Lens for a couple of months now, and it has been the best overall in features!
When my kids were infants, having a baby monitor in their room was a must on my baby registry. I wanted to keep my stress and worry at ease by being able to keep an eye on them at all times. The best way to do this when they are sleeping in another room is to have a baby monitor!
For us, the best positioning for the VT2461 was on the top of the changing table. This way, it was out of reach of the child, and accessible to us if we needed to move it around the house. With mounting brackets included in the box, you ARE able to put the camera on the wall, if you would like.
Right out of the box, all you have to do is plug in both power sources to the baby monitor and the camera, and you are ready to go. Play around with the position of the camera to see what will work best in your child’s room.
The camera itself has a standard lens, but you can add on the zoom lens by just screwing it onto the front. This makes it so much easier to see a full-width view of your child’s room. (Perfect for when they start moving more in their crib, or learning to crawl out of their toddler bed)
The controls on the monitor are endless. Talk about a real-time connection from anywhere in your house. You can pan left and right at a 170 degree view, zoom in and out, talk to your child, set alarms, play lullabies or soothing sounds, and control the volume levels to suit your needs. (The high resolution color LCD screen is my favorite feature.)
Choose the VTech VM4261 when you want to have peace of mind as a new or experienced parent. Being able to see your child in their entire room is so important, especially when they start being mobile. Find which monitor works best for you and your family’s needs by researching all of the factors that are included, and testing the unit out in the best position in the child’s room.
When it comes to being a parent, it’s a no brainer that it’s a hard job. Make your life easier by choosing the best baby monitor for your child through all stages of their growth!
