Frequently Asked Questions: Baby Monitors
What features should I consider when choosing a baby monitor or camera?
Your specific needs and budget will be determining factors when choosing the right baby monitor.
If you just want to listen, watch, and communicate via two-way audio, a simple baby monitor camera may be a good choice. Traditional models use low-tech radio waves to transmit video signals and two-way audio locally and securely up to a certain distance.
Many high-tech models boast Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to review the baby camera feed in real time through your smartphone. Some of these baby monitors with cameras include accessories that slip onto a child’s ankle to monitor their sleep quality, heart rate, oxygen level, and sleep cycles throughout the night.
All of these baby monitors make fantastic baby shower gifts for new parents and seasoned pros.
What are the range and connectivity options of your baby monitors?
Because many baby monitors are Wi-Fi enabled, their range is infinite as long as you have internet connectivity at both ends and an app on your smartphone. You can check on your baby as they sleep on their crib mattress and sing them lullabies in real-time from the next room over. The disadvantage to this technology is that you won’t be able to connect if the internet goes down or you’re in a spotty service area.
On a more traditional digital video baby monitor, the reception range can be excellent for up to 150 feet indoors. These models are secure and reliable options if long-range and high-tech features aren’t a priority.
Are there additional features, such as temperature monitoring or two-way communication, available?
Two-way communication is a staple of modern baby monitors and is a feature offered by the vast majority of monitors. Due to their inherent design, there may be a slight delay in broadcasting on Wi-Fi-enabled monitors, but the range is nearly infinite. On the more traditional radio-broadcast models, voice transmission is instantaneous but may become unclear if you reach the edge of its broadcasting range.
Several models of baby monitors now offer a cuff accessory that monitors the child’s heart rate, oxygen level, room temperature, noise level, and sleep/wake patterns. They can even send a notification when your child is awake in their baby bed.
What is the return or exchange policy for your baby monitors and cameras?
Baby monitors and other baby products, including diapers and crib mattresses, purchased from Sam’s Club are covered by the standard “100% Merchandise Satisfaction Guarantee.” If you're not satisfied with the quality of your baby monitor, Sam’s Club will usually replace it or provide a refund.
