3. Cubo Ai Sleep Safety Bundle
Billed as the first baby monitor to use AI, this baby monitor can detect if your baby’s face is covered, or if the baby has got stuck rolling over; it can also generate a sleep analytics report. The bundle includes a sleep sensor pad that can be used to track micro motion.
4. Babymoov 360° Yoo Moov
With this silent motorised CCTV video monitor, you pan or tilt the camera to get the best view of the baby, which is handy if it moves a lot. The camera can be wall-mounted, and it comes with a 4.3in parental screen with a walkie-talkie function. It has a 300m range, plus five lullabies and a multicoloured nightlight.
