Audio Gold Monitor

Plain, basic audio monitors aren't as impressive as video monitors. However they do have a few advantages over video and can complement them. Popular brands include Sony, Philips (Avent), Graco, Tomy and Angelcare.

Using an audio monitor means that parents don't need to be constantly watching a video screen. They can leave the audio monitor on and be alerted only when the baby cries, or they can turn up the volume to hear the baby breathe even as they cook in the kitchen.
