What does it mean by proper location? It means that the baby monitors should be placed as far away as possible from other wireless devices. This includes cell phones, cordless phones, and routers. Microwave ovens could also cause interference on your baby monitor. Since it is inevitable that you will be using other wireless devices around your flat, one of the best things you could do to prevent interference is to always prioritize your baby monitor. But as of today, parents usually prefer the wireless devices over wired ones for reasons of mobility. With wireless devices, parents can go anywhere around the house while still being able to keep tabs over their babies. The only setbacks of wireless baby monitors are that it can be more expensive to wired devices and they are also prone to interference. With the new feature of these monitors, parents are not only able to provide for the safety of their children by being able to hear possible problems from a distance, but they are also given the chance to solve certain problems or bond more with their child by talking through the portable parent unit. 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. Electro-SMOG is the electromagnetic energy that is emitted by common gadgets in our home such as our televisions, cordless phones, microwaves and digital baby monitors. Studies have been made over the years claiming that too much exposure to electro-SMOG can result to health problems affecting the nervous system of the body. Wireless interference may come as irksome sounds, static sounds or buzzing sounds. In video monitors, interference may come in the form of fuzzy or static reception. These wireless interferences are usually caused by other wireless devices around the house like the wireless phone or a router. Other wireless baby monitors from your neighbor s house can also cause interference.
