The 10 Best WiFi Baby Monitors

Not all parents want their children growing up staring down the lens of a security camera, which is why the makers of the Arlo Technologies Lullaby ABC1000 (appx. $148) have outfitted their device with friendly ears and cute little bunny's feet.

Adults will love the fact that the Fredi Wireless HD Camera (about $50) offers users a fast and easy setup process, so you could get your feed up and streaming over the course of a single nap time. Kids adore the cute panda shape and little ears.

The Cocoon Cam Plus (about $104) features real-time breathing monitoring, so whenever you check in on your peacefully sleeping child, you can also make sure that there's nothing obstructing their safety or comfort. Notifications can wake you if your baby wakes up, as well.

The Wansview Wireless (appx. $34) isn't specifically designed to be used to watch over your children, but that's exactly what makes it so enticing. It offers parents many of the most desirable features of a security unit, and lets you use them for your kid's safety.

There are a lot of features to like about the iBaby M7 Premium (appx. $250), but quite possibly the most attractive aspect of the unit is its ability to project a starry night sky on your child's ceiling. It can also tell you the temperature and humidity in your kid's room.

If you want to be able to track both your child and anything that might be going on in his or her room, you'll appreciate the full 360-degree pan and tilt capabilities of the Tianbudz Dome IP Camera (around $38). It's available in black or white to fit your nursery's decor.

The adorable OCam Nanny Cam (about $229) can be set on a shelf or easily mounted to any wall, and its cute apple shape doesn't feel invasive in a nursery setting. Unfortunately, the camera's lack of pan and tilt functions limits your viewing angles.

Because the Project Nursery PNMAL 2 (appx. $128) interfaces with Alexa, you can ask your smart home device to do everything from panning the camera to recording whatever it sees. You can also check in using a variety of video screens including your TV with a Fire Stick.

The Nanit Smart Mount (around $247) is designed to install above your child's crib. In addition to monitoring, the device and its attendant app can track the duration and quality of your little one's sleep, so you can make sure they're getting enough shuteye.

The cry detection algorithms of the Evoz Unlimited Range Camera (appx. $229) effectively ignore other background noises that could trip up the system, allowing it to clearly identify when your child is actually crying, and to alert you to that very fact.
