Do yo know how far your baby monitor transmit?

When choosing a baby monitor, make sure you are aware of how far it is able transmit. Good quality baby monitors have a transmission range up to 100m (326 feet) or more, which means your baby monitor receiver should pick up sound and vision up to 100 meters away from the base unit, some will only transmit up to 30 (98 feet) meters.

The transmission range you require depends upon the size of your home, the number of walls and how many stories you have. For example, if you have a large 2 or 3 story home, look for a high transmission range to ensure your baby monitor will work effectively for you.

Dual Room Baby Monitors – Do you only want to monitor the baby?

Dual Room video baby monitors allow you to simultaneously watch over and listen to several different areas. Multiple cameras are linked to the monitor, with live video sequences from each area alternating and playing for several seconds each, like a real security system. These are an excellent way to keep your eyes and ears on everyone and ensure the whole family is safe.

Some dual room baby video camera set-ups are water and weather-proof, giving you the ability to permanently and safely set up outdoors monitors. You can keep an eye on the pool, garden, sandpit, the nursery and the kitchen or more all on the one monitor. Once again, these may be hooked up to a TV or computer monitor for a big screen view.

The very best video baby monitors are dual room baby monitors where each camera has night vision.

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.
