For peace of mind, you can programme a variety of sleep-inducing lullabies or soothing white noises to comfort and soothe your little one.

The difference between digital and Wi-Fi-based baby monitors is that digital monitors send signals over what’s known as the frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). These send a signal directly and securely from a transmitter in the camera to the receiver on the parent unit. They can keep a close eye on little one at any time with day and night vision, and never miss a moment or a smile with HD live streaming, remote-controlled pan, tilt and zoom.

Parents can relax knowing they'll be notified of any movement, sound, temperature or humidity changes via the app. The camera can be easily tilted within its housing to get a clear picture of your baby and can optionally run off battery power rather than AC so the monitor can be used while your baby naps in a pram, for instance.

Video baby monitors send signals from a camera to the parent unit via either digital signals or your Wi-Fi network, as long as the two devices are connected to the same network. Movement sensors: Some monitors, generally on the more expensive end of the spectrum, come with a movement sensor that can be slipped under your baby’s mattress. This will detect your little one’s breathing and will sound an alarm if no movement is detected after a given period of time. It can be great for extra peace of mind, particularly with newborns.

We gave the Maxi Cosi See Baby monitor to one of our parent reviewers, Anna, and asked her to put it to the test with her baby, Henry. She described the build quality of this device as 'flawless' and points out that the stylish wood effect will blend well with all types of nursery décor.

It also offers 1080p video footage for clear visibility. The item is lightweight and extremely easy to set up, although you will need Wi-Fi to set it up and operate it. It comes in either baby blue or baby pink and has little teddy bear (blue) and bunny (pink) ears on top of the camera as an extra little design perk. It’s also made from safe and non-toxic materials. A motion-sensor mat comes with the set and can be placed under the baby as they sleep. It will sound an alarm if no breathing is detected for 20 seconds. Its sensitivity can be adjusted to suit particularly twitchy (or deep-sleeping) babies. Also on the unit are controls that allow you to adjust the monitor’s sensitivity to sound, so you can decide how much noise requires an alert.This value-for-money baby monitor is wall-mountable, has a night-light, four lullabies, a 300m range, and it even displays the temperature in the baby’s room.
