Where to Start
When beginning to shop for smart baby monitors, it is important to have a list of features that you require to help you to narrow down the options. Searching for smart baby monitors in a search engine or on shopping sites will bring you too many results, so a narrowed field is beneficial.

Some of the available models allow you to use the app to view the feed when not in the same location, so if you are leaving your child overnight with a sitter, you can check in on them from where you are. Alternatively, you can purchase a model with an external feed screen and an app.
