Dubai apartments are often open-plan, with the cot in a bedroom and parents in the living room a short walk away. You need clear night vision, two-way audio and a mount that does not require drilling into landlord walls.
Decide early if you want a dedicated parent unit (works when Wi-Fi drops) or phone-only Wi-Fi. Tower Wi-Fi can be busy at night; a local video monitor avoids that risk.

Hybrid option with a 5 inch parent unit plus app viewing. Good when grandparents want a simple screen and you still want phone checks. Read recent reviews for Wi-Fi stability.
Put the camera on a strong 2.4 GHz network if required, update firmware, and use a unique password. Point the camera only at the cot, not at living areas used on video calls.
Prefer clamp, freestanding or soft crib mounts over drilled wall brackets. Keep cables out of cot reach. Landlord approval is rarely needed for freestanding units.
Thin walls mean hallway noise. Place the mic toward the cot and lower sensitivity so lift doors do not constantly alert you.
Non-Wi-Fi parent units keep working if the router drops. Wi-Fi helps when you are in the parking garage or another floor.
Follow safe-sleep rules. Monitors aid awareness; they do not replace safe cot setup.
Optional. Understand false alarms and any wearables before relying on them.
Often a simple audio or short-range video unit is enough if you are always nearby.
