So we ask the question that many of these parents want to know, is it really safe to use digital baby monitors for children? What is Electro-SMOG and How Does It Threaten Our Health? 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. To get the best possible reception and transmission from a 2.4GHz baby monitor with video capability, switch off all 2.4GHz devices in your house. After that, you may turn on the baby monitor followed by your wireless router that is if you have one. Last but not least, you may switch on the base unit of your wireless phone. Not having this feature could be very dangerous to the child because one might not notice that something wrong has already happened if the monitor stops working when the battery drains. In choosing a monitor, the right range or bandwidth must be considered properly. If it would be used in a bigger house, then a wider range is required. Fortunately, there are several ways on how to resolve interference issues when using baby monitors in blocks of flats. 1) Change The Frequency of Your Device Wireless devices such as baby monitors are created to have the ability to change frequencies. This ability of these devices can help in resolving any interference problems. If you intend to use the video monitor at only one location, then you may opt to use the wired version. But if you intend to use the video monitor in different places all over the house then it would be a good idea to avail of the wireless devices. Take note though that wireless video monitors also have their limitations. Here are some of them: 1) Change the frequency band. Most modern wireless devices are equipped with capabilities of channel adjustments. This is one way of patching up interference problems. The process may be as effortless as sliding a switch or pushing a key. If you happen to be using a router with a wireless connection, then you should at least stay away from the uppermost or lowermost channels.
