If you are living in an apartment building or something similar with a lot of other families around, you will want to find a unit which gives you a wide range of frequencies, so that you can eliminate any interference from those sources. The last thing you want is to pick up the signal from someone else’s baby monitor instead of your own, but this is less important if you live in an area that is relatively child free. Is there a lot of noise in your environment? If you have other children, share your home with others, or work from home, you may want to consider that these sounds can easily drown out the noises of your baby, which is why you may want to opt for a visual indicator which will alert you when there is something directly related to your baby.

Since you cannot fully prevent external noises from occurring around you at times, a visual monitor at least warns or alerts you if anything is happening, so that you don’t have worry about not being able to hear your baby if something happens because of other things going on around you. These are especially important if one or both of the parents is hearing impaired. By the way, you might also find this advice on how to stop bedwetting to be useful.
