Wireless baby monitors are usually equipped with switches that allow parents to change frequencies easily. The next option in fixing interference is by properly placing the baby monitor, both the baby s and the parent s units, in the proper location. 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. These things will not only serve as your guide, they will also help you pick out the best type or brand for your little one. Range The size of your house, as well as the distance of the nursery from your bedroom or other vital parts of your home need to be taken into consideration. If you live in a small apartment or if your baby's room is only a couple of rooms away, then virtually any type of baby monitor will suffice. Since it is wireless, the limitation that the length of wires provide does not apply to it making it more possible to move around the house while still being able to monitor your baby. Almost all types of monitors, whether audio or video, can be wired or wireless. It all comes down to budget and preference. In order for the baby monitor to obtain the most excellent reception and transmission using the 2.4-GHz channel, you need to switch off all devices that operate in the same frequency. Then switch on the baby monitor followed by your other wireless gadgets. Remember that the base unit of your cordless phone should be switched on last. Currently, there are two types of baby monitors: video baby monitors and audio baby monitors. Video baby monitors, as the name implies, use video footages for overseeing events in the room where the baby is located. It incorporates the technology used by webcams in computers. Instead of only using the simple transmitter with microphone, a camera is installed with it. These added features alert the deaf parent every time the baby is in need of attention. A number of products on the market also offer other means of alerting deaf parents to the cries of their infants. One particular product consists of receivers that come in two parts: a main clock and a tiny sound sensor.
