It is the medical term used to describe the occasional cessation of breathing of a person. Even though it is normal, it may also be a symptom of something more serious that is health related. Basically there are three types of apnea: obstructive, central and mixed. Obstructive apnea is most common in babies and children. Even at a distance, parents are empowered to interact with their child through the device. And children, upon recognizing the familiar voice of their parents are given the assurance that they are watched and are in a safe place, which can be soothing to them. The main priority of most parents who have baby monitors is basically the safety of their children. Another advantage that digital technology has is that it provides clearer reception. The digital receivers, whether a microphone or s camera, are also more sensitive to sound and visuals respectively. One problem of analog baby monitor devices is the fact that there are instances when neighbours can actually tap in to the signal of your baby monitors and listen. But no matter how these gadgets may seem to help, there are times when they become annoying especially when you encounter interferences. Baby monitors, specifically wireless ones, may experience a lot of interferences especially when you live in flats with short proximity from other tenants. The chances of interference are doubled if next-door neighbors also make use of wireless baby monitors. Take note though that wireless video monitors also have their limitations. The device for the baby and the device for the parents must be in their proper range with each other or else wireless intermittent connection may occur. Conventional Baby Monitors VS Baby Video Monitors The question whether to use the conventional simplex baby monitors or the baby video monitors will all fall down to preference. You can actually use baby monitors even during the day when you have other things to do around the house like cooking or other household preparations. Wireless VS Wired Baby Monitors Video and audio baby monitors can either be wired or wireless. Both modes have their own advantages and disadvantages.
