About - The First Years True Choice Premium P400
The The First Years True Choice Premium P400 is a baby monitors available from The First Years. The True Choice Premium P400 typically costs between $24.99 - $85.50. Consumer Reports recommends that you match the features on a model to the needs you have. Here's our take on some of the specifications and features that are commonly available on baby monitors models like the True Choice Premium P400. Type: Analog monitors operate much like a radio, sending signals from monitor to receiver in a straight shot. Digital monitors encode the signal as it travels between the monitor and the receiver, making it nearly impossible for the sounds to be heard by others. Frequency band: Frequency band is the wavelength at which the unit operates. Sound lights: Lights on the monitor turn on when the baby cries; the louder he cries, the more lights light up. This lets you turn the volume down and still know when the baby is crying, or, if you are in a very noisy room, you'll see the lights and know when baby is awake or crying.
