What Is The Best Baby Monitor On The Market?

After months of hands-on testing in my nursery, I believe the baby safety video monitor is the Eufy SpaceView Pro. It was easiest to use straight out of the box, eliminates Wi-Fi–security worries (it doesn’t offer it) and has a nice, easy-to-read screen with great range and battery.

There are additional baby monitors that might work better for another family that prefers Wi-Fi or app monitoring, extra portability or another specific feature. The Chillax Giraffe Cam Pro is a top-performing and affordable Wi-Fi baby monitor that offers excellent image quality, along with some analytics, like baby sleep stats, that might appeal to some. And the Lollipop Baby Monitor is extra portable and easy to attach to your crib at night and then the playpen during the day. However, I appreciated that I never once encountered any sort of connectivity issue with Eufy’s SpaceView Pro.

In a nutshell, Wi-Fi baby monitors (like the Chillax Giraffe Cam) allow you to keep an eye on your child using a mobile app, eliminating the need for a receiving device. Tamiz Ahmed, co-founder of online parenting resource Poppylist, explains that Wi-Fi–enabled baby monitors also typically offer extra smart features such as sleep and breathing tracking and noise and motion detection. Some of the higher-end models also collect and analyze your child’s sleep data, which Ahmed adds can help parents optimize your little one’s sleep.

Non–Wi-Fi baby monitors (e.g., the Eufy SpaceView Pro), on the other hand, tend to be less expensive than Wi-Fi models, says Ahmed. These monitors require a separate receiver that connects to the monitor through a non-static channel, although the range is limited—usually to about 1,200 feet or less.
