Product Information

Whichever satnav you have, the babyCam comes with a replacement car power cable that you use instead of your existing one. This includes a wireless receiver for the babyCam, but also an antenna for RDS-TMC traffic updates. So if your satnav already has traffic service via the FM radio signal, you won’t lose this when using the babyCam. The babyCam itself is a relatively small, tubular device that’s mostly made up of its battery compartment. This takes a pair of AA batteries, although there’s also a mini-USB connection on the rear that can be used for power. The mount included is designed to attach to the metal rods of an extending head rest, so if your car doesn’t have such a fixing then you may struggle to find a suitable position to place the camera. However, it doesn’t appear to enable the service on satnavs that support traffic, but which don’t have this included as standard – such as the nüvi 2519LM that I was sent for this review. Garmin babyCam – Configuration BabyCam Nursery is designed for the home, and is equipped with wireless camera and a large 7”, full-colour companion screen allowing mums and dads to see, hear and even talk to their baby from any room across the home, giving them constant reassurance that the baby is safe and well. Either portable or wall-mounted, the monitor is extremely easy to use and set up, and is equipped with a soothing night light function. Finally, KidCam is a two-camera system designed for older, more adventurous children, and is ideal for keeping an eye on several of the ‘little ones’ at once. Equipped with two wireless cameras and a split-screen 4.3” companion screen, KidCam allows mums and dads to see and hear their children from any room in the house and even the garden, providing constant reassurance at a range of up to 100 metres, even at night time.

Once the video has been on-screen for a short while, it will automatically disappear again. You can set the duration to be 10, 20 or 30 seconds. This prevents you spending too long gazing at your loved one and not the road, although it probably still isn’t a good idea to be distracted by a screen for 30 seconds when driving. The automatic disappearance also means you won’t have to touch the screen again to return to the navigation map. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Storage Options is a UK-based technology brand created with a vision of offering great value, high-performance products without compromising on quality or service.

Once the satnav and babyCam have been paired, an icon appears onscreen for the camera. Slightly confusingly, on the menu screen it’s on the top right, but when navigating it’s towards the bottom left of the screen. It’s fairly large and obvious, however, so you’re unlikely to miss where it is. Simply touch this icon to call up a view from the babyCam. Garmin babyCam – Video Quality and Performance

Can baby monitors be hacked?

Although the babyCam is primarily intended to be battery powered, because routing power to your seat head rest could be a huge pain, Garmin claims a pair of AA batteries should last a couple of months of daily use. This is because the device spends most of its time in a low power mode, and boots up only when you request a look at the video. It powers down again when the feed disappears from the satnav screen. Leading CCTV and surveillance vendor Storage Options, has launched an innovative new range of easy-use ‘Baby Cam’ monitors, giving parents much-needed reassurance that their babies or toddlers are safe and secure, whether it’s in the car, the home, or even the garden. Working much like a Sat Nav, parents simply attach a compact wireless camera to the side rear window to get a clear view of their baby and to transmit a high-quality video picture to a display attached to their windscreen. The system is extremely easy to use and comes equipped with a host of useful features including night vision, a built in rechargeable battery with four hour life, as well as versatile window suction mounts.
