3 App-Enabled Video Baby Monitors For iOS And Android Devices

When my daughter was a baby, I couldn’t have done without having a monitor in her room.   In fact, even though she is 7 now, we still use a video monitor in her room.  She had night terrors for a few years and her pediatrician told us to keep an eye on her at night but don’t disturb her during a night terror.  A video monitor was a great solution and continues to be a huge help on those nights she still has issues with sleeping.

The next generation of baby video monitors are app-enabled monitors that work wirelessly with iOS devices.

Wireless baby video monitors allow remote monitoring from your iPhone or iPad, letting you listen to, see and even talk to your baby (or pet) from another room.

Here are three app-enabled video baby monitors that will give you the peace of mind you need to relax, take a bath, or get in a home workout while your baby is sleeping.
