However, for many parents who are concerned with the safety of their child, switching to modern technology can certainly be frightening. But as long as one knows how to set certain prevention methods such as placing the monitor at a safe distance from the baby (at least one meter) and not adding a lot of other appliances inside the baby s room such as televisions or computers, then much harm on the child s health can greatly be prevented. A typical baby monitor set consists of two parts: a radio transmitter and a portable receiver. The radio transmitter must be positioned 8 to 10 feet away from your baby's crib. Then again, you can always position it closer to the baby for better reception of sounds. The signal picked up by the radio transmitter is then passed on to the portable receiver, which can be carried effortlessly around the house. With the video baby monitor installed in the room, parents can access the cameras and view the conditions of their babies even when they are at the office. All they need is a computer with Internet access and voila! Instant video feed direct from the baby s room. The other type of baby monitor is the audio baby monitor. If you think this is difficult to do, think again. It can be as easy as just flicking a simple switch on the device. 2) Proper Location Wireless baby monitors react to other wireless devices. To prevent interferences, try to place the baby monitor as far away from wireless devices as possible. This includes wireless phones, cell phones, and routers. Through this, mothers are able to do what must be done around the house thereby accomplishing a lot. From the time baby monitors have been first released, countless of innovations have been made. A variety of products not only permits auditory signals to be heard but even allow the mother from the receiver s end to visualize their baby and play music to soothe the baby even from a distance. Last but not least, you may switch on the base unit of your wireless phone. As a result of sticking to this course of action, the monitor gets to capture the initial accessible signal that will give out the most excellent reception and not impinge on your other wireless gadgets in the process. 5.
