Finding the best baby video monitor can be a tough job. This is mainly because the market is full of video baby monitors, not all of which are worth spending your hard-earned money on.

In case you have been struggling to find the best baby monitor with video capability, fret not because help is here. Reading further will help you understand what makes this type worth purchasing.

At the outset you need to understand not even the most advanced baby monitor can give you life like pictures and sound. Monitors are meant to be used for those times when you are not in the same room as your baby.

Having understood this, you can embark on the search for the best monitor. The following features should be there in the monitor you purchase:

A battery powered portable receiver unit (ideally two, one for your spouse as well) with a video screen to view live feed. These receivers allow you unrestricted mobility inside the house and are better choices than dedicated video screens which have to be kept in one place.

A range of screen brightness controls for night use. This can ensure that you get clear images even when the nursery is darkened.

The best model should also give you the power to remotely pan, zoom and tilt the camera for the best video feed possible. Most models allow digital zoom only, but this lowers the video resolution resulting in ‘grainy’ images.

Night vision capability, for zero-illumination video capture. Make sure that the monitor you choose has a camera that automatically switches to night vision mode in low-light conditions. The ideal range for night vision cameras is six feet.

Although your budget may be a constraint, the best baby monitor may be one with all of the above mentioned features. So, choose wisely!
