Know your Baby Monitor Frequency and Avoid Interference
A baby monitor works like a radio, transmitting and receiving radio signals through the air on a specific frequency. If your baby monitor uses a common frequency such as 49MHz, you may experience annoying static or interference from devices such as mobile (cell) phones, cordless phones, microwaves and CB radios.
Your signal may even be picked up by a neighbour, or passing truck driver or police car who can overhear your private conversations. You might start receiving someone else’s telephone conversation over your baby monitor or hear another baby’s cries.
Using a baby monitor with a frequency range of 900MHz or 250GHz will minimize such interferences and maintain privacy from other receivers. The 250GHz baby monitors offer the clearest sound and/or picture with the most resistance to static.
Unfortunately, all frequencies will be interrupted by barriers in the field of transmission. This means that if there are solid walls or floors between your baby monitor base and the receiver, such as brickwork, concrete walls or floor slabs, the clarity will be affected. The good news is that your baby monitor will still work and framed partition walls should not pose a problem.
Some baby monitors offer multiple channels for increased clarity, avoiding possible interference depending on where you are located.
