A good baby monitor designed to keep an eye on twins can make life sooo much easier as with one monitor and two cameras, you can switch from room to room or from angle to angle and see what your little ones are doing.
In this guide, we take a look at 5 of the best baby monitor for twins on the market today along with telling you exactly what you need to look for.
Let’s get started!
What To Look For In A Baby Monitor When You Have Twins
In this section of the guide, we take a look at the key things that you need to look for when shopping for best perfect baby monitor for twins.
Cameras
Okay, let’s start with the most important part of any setup – the cameras.
The first and most obvious thing to look for (and what all the best baby monitor for twins feature) is a system that comes with two cameras or at the very least, allows you to buy additional cameras to add to the setup.
This can be particularly useful if you plan to have the twins share the same room for a few months before separating them into their own spaces.
Next up is video feed quality.
While cameras with a 4k resolution are available, they can be expensive, and considering the size of the display unit, can be complete overkill!
There are also cameras available that that can record but again, these are above and beyond the needs of most parents.
Finally, we’re big fans of night vision modes.
Being able to watch your little ones as they sleep means fewer trips into their room to check on them which means that you’re less likely to disturb them as they sleep.
Monitor Units
You can have the best baby monitor for twins camer setup in the world but if the monitor screen in grainy and difficult to see then it’s no good to anyone.
So what makes a good monitor screen?
Well first up you need a monitor that either comes with two screens or that will allow you to switch between the different camera units.
Next, you’re probably going to want to pick something up that has a good display. It’s amazing what piece of mind a crystal clear picture can give you.
This is particularly important if your camera is in night vision mode when you’ll want to see at a glance what your little ones are up to.
Finally, you want to consider monitor mobility.
The ideal monitor will plug-in to an AC power base or lead and have a in-built battery’s so you can take the monitor with you when you’re away from the AC power.
Extra Features
It seems that there is an almost endless possibility to the number of extra features that monitors can come with. Most are nice to have rather than essential so it’s up to you whether or not they’re worth the extra money.
Some of these extra features include:
- The ability to rotate the camera
- WiFi enabled
- Temperature reporting
- Zoom
- VOX sensors

We really like the AXVUE E662 camera unit.

The transmitted picture quality is extremely clear even in night vision mode.

Monitor Unit
Many other reviewers have commented on just how easy the AXVUE E662 Video Monitor is to use and has a similar interface as many of the Motorola units.
One slightly annoying feature is that the screen will shut off after 5 minutes to conserve power of non-use and while the audio will be constant, the screen doesn’t turn back on if there is sudden spikes or movement.
