A typical baby monitor, also known as a '''baby alarm''', is a Simplex ( Uni-directional ) Transmitter and Receiver system used to remotely listen for noises made by an Infant . The transmitter, equipped with a Microphone , is placed near to the child and the receiver equipped with a Speaker , is carried by, or near to, the person caring for them at the time. Some baby monitors are Duplex ( Bi-directional ), using Transceiver s that allow the caregiver to communicate back to the baby (parent talk-back), and some have a feature allowing music to be played on the transmitter (and thus played to the child). One of the primary uses of baby monitors is when the infant is asleep in a separate room or floor, allowing Caregiver s or Parent s to keep track of any problems while away from the baby. VIDEO BABY MONITORS: BABY CAMS Some modern baby monitors also incorporate a Digital Camera to show video Footage on the receiver in a similar method to Web Cam s, and some others allow the receiver to be plugged into a Television or to be included in a portable LCD screen (with Batteries ); they are called baby cams. Some baby cams can work with low minimum light level (night mode). WIRED AND WIRELESS Baby monitor generally uses wireless systems, but can also use Cord ed ones (i.e. cable or X10 ).
