baby monitor definition and meaning

What is a "baby monitor"?

A baby monitor is a device used by parents or caregivers to remotely monitor the activities and well-being of a baby or young child. It typically consists of two units: one placed near the child and equipped with a microphone to capture sounds, and the other carried by the parent or caregiver, acting as a receiver to receive the transmitted audio. Baby monitors provide real-time audio monitoring, allowing parents to listen to their baby's sounds or cries from another room, enabling them to attend to the child's needs promptly. Some advanced models also offer video capabilities, enabling visual monitoring of the baby's sleeping or playing environment. Baby monitors provide an additional layer of reassurance and convenience for caregivers, promoting peace of mind and ensuring the baby's safety and comfort.
