[LAST UPDATED: 20th December 2022]

Discover the top 10 best baby monitors of 2022 to help you and your baby sleep better. We tested each model with our kids at home to give you a real-life review of the best monitors available today and help you decide the one that’s right for you.

We focus on video baby monitors in our ranking as these are the most popular models. They use radio frequencies or your home Wifi network to stream the video of your child. We also included the best audio baby monitor in our ranking for those of you looking for a simpler alternative.

There are no bad options in our top 10. The Bebcare Motion video baby monitor is overall the best baby monitor for 2022, but the Infant Optics DXR-8 is a better choice if you don’t need the fancy tech and the Nanit is a great model if you want to also keep an eye on your baby from afar. The Miku baby monitor comes packed with some interesting monitoring tech.
