5 Best Long-Range Baby Monitors of 2024

VTech makes a video monitor with excellent audio and an impressive field range of around 1,000 feet. It can work up to 150 feet in the home with no outages. So if you need to run to the basement to do some laundry, you’ll have no worries with this monitor by your side.

The audio on the monitor uses DECT technology, which cuts out background noise, such as music, and prevents interference.

Other great features include automatic built-in night vision, a talk-back function, and a powerful zoom lens. This lets you observe and listen to your little ones at all times, even in a dark nursery.

You can add up to four cameras, which is great for watching little ones when they’re in their playpen, the nursery, or even outside.

Your privacy and security will be protected with a 2.4 GHz frequency, and the ample 2.8-inch LCD screen lets you view your little one in living color. Moving around a lot? Don’t worry; an alert will tell you when you’ve gone out of range.

These monitors even let you know if the room temperature is too high or low.
