Carry-on details
Allowed. A baby monitor travels through security like other small electronics — no special restriction. You may be asked to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
Checked-bag details
Allowed, but carry-on is recommended. A baby monitor with its battery installed can go in checked baggage. If you carry spare or uninstalled lithium batteries for it, those must be packed in carry-on only — never in checked bags.
Special instructions
If your monitor uses a rechargeable lithium battery, keep any spares in carry-on and protect terminals from short-circuiting.
