With smart baby monitors, you need to be a bit more careful. Make sure the previous owner has fully deleted their information and account access before you take ownership of the product. Baby boomers have found themselves increasingly dismayed when tuning into BBC Radio 2, the station that used to be theirs of choice. Time was when Terry Wogan would greet them in the morning with music from the likes of the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Queen. But Wogan gave way to Chris Evans, who in turn has passed the mic to Zoe Ball. And with each generation, there has been a change in sensibility. This month, the logic behind the move emerged: Radio 2 is trying to target ‘Mood Mums’, lower-income women in their 30s. Video baby monitors send signals from a camera to the parent unit via either digital signals or your Wi-Fi network, as long as the two devices are connected to the same network. It also offers 1080p video footage for clear visibility. The item is lightweight and extremely easy to set up, although you will need Wi-Fi to set it up and operate it. It comes in either baby blue or baby pink and has little teddy bear (blue) and bunny (pink) ears on top of the camera as an extra little design perk. It’s also made from safe and non-toxic materials. That year “Ice Ice Baby” was certified Platinum two months after its release and was ranked the #45 song of 1990 by Billboard. The song was also nominated for a Grammy that year for Best Solo Rap Performance, but lost to MC Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This”.
Convenience Gardening or laundry will take you outside, where you won’t be able to hear a crying baby. Also, who decided that this was going to be the future of television? Because this isn’t a new idea. It’s the streaming equivalent of pre-broadband internet, when you’d get a momentary jolt of novelty excitement from dialling into a static webcam of a waterfall, or the Eiffel Tower, or a coffee pot. This value-for-money baby monitor is wall-mountable, has a night-light, four lullabies, a 300m range, and it even displays the temperature in the baby’s room. At this affordable price, and with all these helpful features, there’s not much more you could really ask for.One of the most common car parking smartphone apps, RingGo, is now used by over 150 councils in the UK. ‘Prevalence of ageism’ Elderly drivers are becoming increasingly excluded from being able to park without being fined due to the phasing out of pay-as-you-go meters. He has never been one to hold his tongue and his criticisms of Radio 2 are biting. “It is now full of D-list TV celebs who know nothing about music at all,” he continues. “Rylan Clark-Neal, for f**** sake, was a contestant on The X Factor singing badly, and now he’s everywhere.”
You turn on the radio and feel a bit left behind,” says Lloyd, co-founder of Boom Radio. “As you get older, there’s a feeling that no one cares about you any more and you’re seen as an old fart. But when you get to your 60s, you realise that you’re not. You have decades to give and lots of energy. We wanted a final hurrah.” Some households find they can function perfectly well without a baby monitor, as any cries can be heard through an open door or thin walls. Even so, there are still reasons why you might need one: If you prefer not to use the pole, the petite camera can be removed and placed directly on a straight and sturdy surface on its own. This is a rechargeable camera so it doesn’t have to be plugged in to operate, so there are no hazardous wires anywhere near your baby. The battery life is impressively long and can comfortably last all night, but it’s advisable to charge it daily to ensure it never runs out of juice. You can also listen to calming sounds through your smart speakerby asking for them directly. Just say, “Open CBeebies and play the calming sounds of… waves / birdsong / rain / car journey / spaceship / white noise / pink noise / brown noise.”You may know the VTech brand better for its noisy, brightly coloured range of toys, but it also sells parenting essentials like this audio baby monitor which is impressively affordable for what it has to offer. Thanks to the use of so-called DECT (which stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology, the parent unit connects securely to the baby unit promising clear sound without interference. We also wanted to hire presenters who were on the radio in listeners’ formative years,” says Lloyd. “People they would remember listening to when getting ready for school or their first date.” The more cynical among you might smell a rat here. They might try to label Baby Animal Cam as the sort of cheap, unauthored television that streamers can use to prove that they don’t need the services of those pesky creators with their annoying requests for meaningful compensation. Or they might tumble even further down the rabbit hole – as I confess that I briefly did – and assume that this was some slow-burn Adult Swim-style Halloween prank that would, over the weeks, mutate into something more sinister.
Elsewhere, you can play bird songs and lullabies at the touch of a button, and it lets you speak to your baby. The battery doesn’t last long (around six hours) if you leave the display on, although it will last the night if you keep the audio on and use the video display occasionally. Or you can just leave it plugged in.

One radio listener, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “How are these young people ever going to learn to face up to and deal with things that make them uncomfortable or force them to question things, if the world is to be painted beige for them.
