Best Baby Monitors in Australia: Features and Reviews

Everyone wants the best baby monitor for their baby. Choosing the right baby monitor can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry — we’ve made it easy for you.

In this guide, we break down the best baby monitors in Australia for 2025. You’ll find reviews, expert tips, and the features every Aussie parent should look for.

Why Baby Monitors Are a Must-Have for Aussie Parents

First, baby monitors offer peace of mind. You can check on your baby without entering the room.

Next, they help you track sleep and movement, especially in larger homes. Whether it’s a camera or audio-only monitor, they allow you to monitor your baby remotely.

Also, with advanced features like temperature sensors and two-way talk, they give you more confidence and comfort as a parent.

Key Features to Look for in a Baby Monitor

To begin with, decide if you want a video baby monitor or audio-only. Most parents choose video for the extra reassurance.

Secondly, consider whether you want WiFi connectivity. A baby monitor with an app can let you check in from anywhere. However, non-WiFi baby monitors offer greater privacy.

Then, look for extra features like:

• Night vision
• Temperature and humidity sensors
• Two-way communication
• Pan, tilt and zoom camera
• Long battery life or power-saving mode

Finally, make sure the baby monitor is easy to use and secure. That matters just as much as video quality.

Types of Baby Monitors Explained

There are four main types of baby monitors:

• Video Baby Monitors – Show a live feed of your baby, usually on a parent unit
• Audio-Only Monitors – Let you hear your baby’s sounds without visuals
• WiFi Smart Monitors – Work with apps and connect to your phone or tablet
• Wearable Monitors – Track breathing or movement, often used for added peace of mind

Every parent’s needs are different. Some want portability. Others want advanced tech. So it’s important to choose what suits your lifestyle best.

Baby Monitor Safety and Privacy: What Aussie Parents Should Know

While WiFi baby monitors are popular, non-WiFi monitors are considered safer in terms of data privacy. If you choose a WiFi model, be sure to use a strong password and update your firmware.

Also, always place the monitor cord out of baby’s reach. Secure the camera away from the cot and never inside it.
