    The benefit of using a WiFi baby monitor is you can look in on your baby wherever you can access the internet. The best ones have extra features like motion sensors and alerts, recordings, and 2-way audio. Most WiFi baby monitors simply use an app you can download to your smartphone to provide a video feed. but others have an additional monitor. Just make sure that the WiFi monitor you purchase has high-quality security measures in place to protect it from hacking.
