With this kind of setup, security and comfort of your baby may be put at risk. Fixing Interference Problems Baby monitors are great help for parents who are always on the go. These gadgets enable parents to multi-task do other chores while still being able to watch over their baby. However, these gadgets may sometimes cause annoyances rather than comfort and relief especially when you live in close proximity with your neighbours such as in flats. Aside from that, baby monitors that come with a video monitoring feature may also suffer from a fuzzy reception. Another annoying part of the whole interference dilemma is the fact that you could sometimes pick up your neighbor's phone conversations on your baby monitor and vice versa. This makes it even more difficult for you to hear or decode the sounds that are coming from your baby's room. A smaller house or apartment might not need as much range especially if one lives in an area where there may be a lot of interference such as cell phones and other monitors that could disrupt the signals. But it is also important to consider the user s activity, especially if work might require him or her to be of farther distance from the child. Parents who are hard of hearing or deaf also share the same opinion about baby monitors. Even though they put up with a lot of difficulties in caring for their babies, the ounce of reassurance they get from using such devices is more than welcome. Special Features Hearing-impaired individuals are definitely faced with two times the challenge of caring for a baby. Every now and then, your baby monitor may compete with these wireless devices for better signal reception. For that reason, it is better to purchase one that features a channel adjustment capability. This way, you can change frequency bands every time you encounter interference problems. Of course, you also need to factor in the cost of buying a baby monitor. This best applies to a setup wherein the baby stays in a room separate from the parents. If the parents sleep in a different room from the baby, it would prove to be impossible to be able to monitor him or her perfectly unless you wake up every minute and check up on your little tyke. So the best way to do this is to use a baby monitor.
