post from Mr.Gadget Australia on 21 May 2006 08:03:00 PM. © Mr.Gadget Australia

Having become a first time uncle and also having had a baby brother, I know all too well the anxiety of leaving these fragile little babies in a room all by themselves. Traditional baby monitors give you the peace of mind that you'll be able to hear the baby. However, they aren't able to show you exactly what baby is up to. With the AVlabs Wireless Baby Monitor you'll be able to monitor that little one via audio and video! What's more is that the camera also has a night vision function so you'll be able to monitor the baby in the dark. Convenient at night during bed time. The best thing is that this whole set-up is wireless, so you can monitor the baby from anywhere in the house. Being able to see through walls will make you a SuperMum or SuperDad!
