In many children's rooms, a baby monitor watches over their offspring. But our test shows that some devices warn too discreetly when they have lost the connection to the nursery - and many models with video lack range. A baby monitor with a camera may make sense in individual cases, but only classic baby monitors without a video function usually get good marks.

A small camera and a relatively handy parent unit characterise the solid video baby monitor from Beurer. Both screen size and possible picture cuts from the nursery are not among the best of the candidates.
