Baby Car Camera buying guide
See the back seat from the front
A rear-facing car seat means you cannot see your baby from the front seat. This kit puts a camera on the back seat headrest and a small monitor up front.
The camera
The camera has 1080p video and a 150 degree wide-angle lens, so it can take in the back seat. It turns 360 degrees, so you can aim it at a rear-facing seat. The maker says it suits forward-facing seats too.
Automatic infrared night vision switches on in low light, so you can still see the seat on evening drives.
The monitor
The 4.3 inch LCD monitor mounts on the windshield. You can adjust the brightness and contrast, and the screen is anti-glare for bright days.
The system is wired. A 16 ft power cord gives you some choice about where the monitor goes.
Installing it
You do not need tools.
- Strap the camera to the back seat headrest.
- Aim it at the car seat.
- Mount the monitor on the windshield.
- Connect the monitor to power.
Place the monitor where it does not block your view of the road or get in the way of airbags. Run the cord along the edges of the car, away from pedals, seat belts and your child’s reach.
The maker says it works in SUVs, sedans, vans and trucks.
Driving with it
This is the important part. Keep your eyes on the road. Do not watch the screen while driving.
- Set the camera and screen angle while the car is parked.
- Let a passenger keep an eye on the screen if one is with you.
- If you need a proper look at your baby, pull over in a safe spot first.
The camera is a convenience. It does not replace stopping to check on your baby.
Who it suits
This kit suits parents who:
- have a baby in a rear-facing car seat
- drive in the evening and want night vision
- have two children in the back seat
- want to move it between cars
