What is Connection Type?
Describes how the monitor transmits video and audio signals, impacting range and security.
Definition
Baby monitors use different connection methods. 'Local (RF)' uses radio frequency to connect a camera to a dedicated parent unit, offering local privacy. 'Hybrid' monitors typically use both local RF and Wi-Fi, allowing connection to a parent unit and remote access via a smartphone app over the internet.
Why It Matters
Determines if you can view your baby from anywhere via Wi-Fi or if you are restricted to a local connection, affecting flexibility and privacy concerns.
What to Look For
"Hybrid" offers the most versatility for both local and remote viewing.
