Other Practical Features Baby monitors are actually quite new. The idea behind the importance of having one is that you as a parent are afforded with an extra set of eyes and ears. This way, you can keep tabs on your baby even while you're busy with something else. By listening in on your little one, you'll be alerted each time he or she needs feeding or a diaper change. So to avoid interference, change the frequency of your baby monitor every once in a while and make sure that the frequency you use does not clash with frequencies of other devices. To change frequencies, wireless baby monitors are equipped with a switch that lets parents change frequency easily. 2) Another way to help in solving wireless interference is to find a proper location for the transmitter as well as for the receiver (baby unit and the parents unit). You should at least get a hold of answers for questions such as: "Will I need to recharge it frequently?" Interference Since a baby monitor is basically a wireless device, it is highly possible to experience interference with the signal. You and your next-door neighbors may utilize similar channels and wind up hearing noises from each other's homes. Video baby monitors make use of cameras instead of just the usual transmitter with microphone device. A camera or a number of cameras are installed in the baby s room and live video feed are transmitted to a TV or LCD receiver. These video devices can either be wired or wireless devices. The most basic application of a wired video baby monitor is to provide live video feed from the room of the baby to the room of the parents. Do not recklessly carry the device around. Also, avoid clutching the monitor by the antenna because it can easily break. - Safeguard the baby monitor from direct heat sources, as well as the glare of the sun. - Do not forget to position the baby monitor's receiver or transmitter on a sufficiently high surface that could not be reached or disturbed by other children. How Are Baby Monitors Different from Other Gadgets with Electro-smog? Because of the huge possibility of the electromagnetic energy used in the digital technology of modern baby monitors, a lot of parents are fearful for the safety of their child. But on the other hand, manufacturing companies of these digital monitors claim that the amount of radiation that their baby monitors emit are at levels that do not pose serious danger to children.
