As we recently reported, Uniden is releasing its new Baby Monitor range in July 2013. Although this category has been around for decades, originally with just audio options, it has become a lot more interesting since video technology was added and new players, such as Sony, entered the market.

We asked Matthew, friend of the website and father of 9-month-old Isaac, to write down his thoughts on the Uniden Baby Monitor for a special guest review:

“My wife and I are very happy with our Uniden Baby Monitor.

“Firstly, it provides a crystal clear picture of our child as he sleeps, as well as sounds to alert us when he stirs.

“The advantage that the monitor offers is not having to check on him every time he makes a sound. We can see if he's just rolling over and will go back to sleep, has lost his dummy and needs it back, or if he has genuinely woken and requires nursing to put him back to sleep.

“The monitor is portable and we have tested it at our in-laws — it can go through two levels in the house and still offers good picture quality and sound — a feature we found to be rare in baby monitors when shopping for them.

“The camera comes with a mount and can be moved to suit the situation, which we've found quite handy when putting our boy in portable cots at various friends’ and relatives’ houses.”
