Test the viewing angle and sound: ask someone to hand-hold the baby monitor where you would like to wall-mount it to make sure that you can correctly see and hear your baby from that location.

There are 5 steps to wall-mount a baby monitor: If your video monitor doesn’t come with its own wall-mounting screws, the manufacturers will indicate in the manual which screws it uses. Most of the baby monitors that we’ve tested come with the necessary wall-mounting elements, just check the bottom of our reviews to see what’s included in the box. How to fix or attach a baby monitor to your wall This is best if your monitor doesn’t offer remote pan, tilt and zoom as you’ll be able to easily move the camera around when needed. Add an extra box or two underneath the camera if your shelf isn’t tall enough to give you a good viewing angle.

Placed high on a shelf: if wall-mounting is not an option in your baby’s bedroom, use a tall shelf or wardrobe.

It might also be a necessary installation for the last generation of smart monitors that track your baby through the night (such as the Nanit Plus and the Cubo AI). This is usually best for baby monitors that have a remote pan, tilt and zoom feature. Just make sure to clip the power cable to the wall as well.

Wall-mounted in a corner near the ceiling: this is our preferred location.

It’s very important that the power cable remains out of reach of your baby at all times to avoid risks of strangulation.įrom our experience, the best places to put a baby monitor are: Tuck in the cord or attach it to your wall to make sure your child won’t be able to touch it. You also need to pay close attention to the power cable on the camera unit to avoid safety hazards. Make sure that the microphone on the baby unit is able to clearly pick up sounds from your child. In a nutshell, you want to find a place in your baby’s room where you can put the camera at least 6 feet / 1.8 meters away from your child, while still being close enough to give you a clear view of your baby.
