This popular question finally has an answer – based on our readers’ input!
One of the most frequent questions in our inbox is which baby monitor we recommend. So we decided to crowd-source and ask all of you – what do you use and do you love it?
The top four recommended monitors are listed below in order of popularity.
Note: Be careful. Many monitors can be crossed with nearby walkie talkies or intercom systems.
Wyze Cam v3

Are there any recommended baby cameras that come with a screen and will be mounted over the crib and not just sitting on the dresser?
