If you hated all the static buzzes analog baby monitors make but don’t want to spend over $100 to get a DECT monitor, then this Safety First High Def Digital Monitor is your best bet.
Safety First High Def Digital Monitor – Best Budget Baby Monitor
Totally No Annoying Static
My sister gave me this baby monitor as a gift earlier when I was still using an analog monitor and I immediately saw the huge difference. I tell you, this monitor is CRYSTAL CLEAR.
I can hear my dearie rustling her blankets when she wakes up and that gives me time to go into her room before she realizes mummy is not there and cries.
And I thought my analog Sony 900mhz was doing well enough in this area because it only emits buzzes when I’m next to wireless signals. This Safety First High Def doesn’t have buzzes at all!
Because this monitor is so clear, it means I hear all the white noises in baby’s room when I’m sleeping at night. If you’re the kind who can’t sleep with white noise, try to keep baby’s room clear of ticking clocks, clicking toys and other things that make noises.
What I Didn’t Quite Like
The only major flaw is that you have to manually turn on the power of this monitor after a power outage. So if you live in an area of frequent storm, a power outage in the middle of the night will mean you have to get up and switch it back on!
I’m in a love-hate relationship with the design. It looks great, really, and I especially like the red bars that show the level of noise coming from baby’s room, but the flashing green light on the transmitter makes me wonder. I’ve taped up the light but that’s weird too.
Well, nothing’s perfect, I guess. For a budget DECT monitor, this Safety First High Def is good enough. You can check out more reviews here at amazon:

In my opinion, the Safety 1st Crystal Clear Baby Monitor is one of the most basic, functional baby monitors available in the market today. The functions are pretty basic. You can expect to receive a portable parent unit (with clip on), 2-channel option, and a reasonable volume control function. The biggest plus point of this unit is that it is energy-saving. The adapter is designed to minimize the amount of power used in the unit.

Here are a few things you should consider before getting this model:
(1) Great value for money
For a mere $16, the quality of this device exceeded my expectations. I’ve come across many other models, either tried-and-tested myself or through my friend’s opinions; and found that this model actually works quite well. If a basic, non-expensive baby monitor unit is what you’re after, then this should fit the bill pretty well.
(2) Possibility of having static noises
Well, I’ve not had any problem with this unit when it comes to sound quality. I should say here that other people have had issues about the noise it emits, particularly static noises. I know how disturbing that can be after sometime. Also, there are others who claim no problem at all with the audio clarity. The best possible explanation I can think of is a factory or manufacturer defect. If you’ve decided to get this model, just hope hard enough that you’re not getting a faulty unit!
(3) Makes a good gift
For such a reasonable price and good functionality, I can tell that it’d make a good gift for a parent-to-be. It’s user-friendly and a good introduction to what baby monitors are all about.
If you’d like to buy the Safety 1st Crystal Clear Baby Monitor, I’d recommend Amazon. Why? Because I’ve used their service a few times now and I’d say that they are efficient in terms of delivery and getting back to you with answers. Check it out today.

The Safety 1st True View Color Video Baby Monitor has received mixed reviews from users in Amazon (I have the habit of checking what other reviewers say to get a better idea of the product). Perhaps before I go further, I’d list down the issues that make this video baby monitor a success and parts that need improvement before I recommend my views.
Safety 1st True View Color Video Baby Monitor
Pros
1. Clear picture viewing: The screen is quite clear in comparison with the other baby monitors I’ve seen. At least my sister has given it a try and verified that there are no sketchy images or unintended screen “blackouts” so far.
2. Good audio: Audio is really important because bad audio annoys my sister very much. Some users have remarked that the audio in this model is fine and voices are clearly heard without crackling or breaking off.
Cons
1. Short battery life: Basically, most experienced users expected its battery life to last longer, probably more than 2 hours at least? I think that’s a reasonable demand. The Safety 1st True View Color Video Baby Monitor needs to improve on that quickly because parents would like to have a hassle-free monitor that doesn’t call for constant battery charging.
2. Breakdowns may be a common thing: I found out that this monitor breaks down on some users as short as 3 months! That’s not quite acceptable. The monitor should have better quality control in its production line and reduce the amount of such defects. Usually the problems are minor and can be fixed in a jiffy. However, avoiding the breakdown at first would’ve saved all users from a lot of trouble, right?
My advice on this device? Buy it if you’re aware of what you’re getting. I strongly suggest that you see what other Amazon users or just anyone who had used this Safety 1st True View Color Video Baby Monitor, have to say about the device.
