It has been the topic of discussions that baby monitors, especially audio types, pick up more than just sounds coming from the baby. Some parents tell stories of their baby monitors picking up EVPs. What are EVPs EVP is short for the term Electronic Voice Phenomenon. EVPs pertain to sounds or voices that are allegedly coming from beyond the grave. Baby monitors can easily be purchased online or in your local shops. However, there are also baby monitors that are installed by professionals. Unlike the baby monitors off the shelf, professionally installed ones usually make use of high end gadgets in watching over your baby. The Types of Baby Monitors Basically there are two types of baby monitors: audio and video baby monitors. The wide range of options include rechargeable batteries for the portable receivers, remote controls, warning alerts for movements or lack thereof, and monitors with musical capabilities. Of course, you need to thoroughly choose features that suit you and your baby; otherwise, you'll end up spending money for something you don't really need. Baby Monitors and Their Role in the Safety of Your Child In the fast paced world we live in today, many obstacles come with juggling family life and work, especially with a new baby in the house. Often times, parents find it difficult to manage their efforts of doing chores while watching the baby. No one can be at two places at the same time, and it has been one of the major dilemmas of parents who still want to be productive around the house but more importantly want to prioritize their child s safety. A lot of parents nowadays fear that if they use a digital monitor to help them keep watch of their child, they might be exposing their offspring to too much of electromagnetic radiation and this may cause significant damage to the child s nervous system. Children, after all, are much more prone to damage as their systems are still developing at such a young age. Video monitorsallow you to see and hear your child by combining sound and video just like miniature TV sets. They use a small camera either mounted on the wall, table or crib to transmit the images into the LCD display. They are usually portable and come with multiple cameras and even night vision. Sensory monitorsdetect the baby s slightest movements even during sleep.
