Before you add a Infant Optics product to your cart, compare the model number with the one we cover, because older or regional versions can look similar. Choose a listing sold by Amazon or Infant Optics directly, and register the warranty once it arrives.
Wi-Fi or not: non-Wi-Fi sets are simpler and more private; Wi-Fi cameras let you watch from anywhere. Screen and night video: a 5-inch screen and good infrared make middle-of-the-night checks easier. Subscriptions: add up any monthly plan over two or three years before you compare prices.
Only if you want to watch from your phone away from home. A non-Wi-Fi monitor is simpler, works during internet outages and never sends video to the cloud. No. No monitor is proven to prevent SIDS. Follow safe-sleep basics: baby on their back, on a firm flat surface, with no loose bedding.
