Digital Baby monitors are packed with extra features too, some familiar and some taken from other baby gadgets. Firstly they allow you to talk to baby through the talk back features, monitor baby or babies through multiple cameras and now there is no need for room temperature monitors or thermometers as the latest video baby monitors now send temperature readings straight to the handset.. They are practically a baby sitter!
All of this choice and all of these features just makes it hard to choose which is best for you. So I have plundered the reviews sections of most of the major websites and created this list of some of the top ranking video baby monitors on the market.
So if you are looking for the latest all singing all dancing video monitors and are a little confused or unsure which is best for you I have put together my findings, feel free to add yours!!
