What is a baby monitor?

A baby monitor is a device that enables you to listen to your baby while he or she is in another room. It means you can hear whenever your baby wakes up or cries, wherever you are in the house. They're great for helping put anxious parents' minds at rest.

Most modern models feature a base station transmittor equipped with a mic, for the nursery (called the baby unit), and a portable speaker you can move around with you (called the parent unit).
