Baby Monitor Interference – The Facts
Baby monitors are a great addition for looking after your baby so you can be rest
assured they are being safely watched or listened to by their parents. The majority
of baby monitors are wireless or cordless and offer flexibility and convenience
so that each unit can be placed anywhere in the home without the restriction of
wires or cabling. Provided the monitoring system in within range it will work fine.
However, wireless baby monitor units have a notorious reputation of suffering from
interference. They can be interfered with other household appliances such as microwaves
and cordless phones and pick up spurious static noise. Some parents have reported
they have actually heard other children’s voices coming through on their baby monitor
receiver and quite rightly get rather spooked thinking they have a ghost in their
house! Of course there is a rational explanation as you baby monitor is simply picking
up spurious voices from your neighbors baby monitor. There are no spooky goings on
but it’s extremely frustrating to be listening to unwanted noises and phoney voices.
So is there a system that is interference-free?
A DECT baby monitor will provide a crystal clear sound and is immune to household
appliance interference as well as interference from other baby monitors. They have
the ability to detect interference in a split second and automatically switch channel
without you even noticing, within a blink of an eye.
You can be assured that you will have a secure, private connection and crystal clear
sound with DECT. It will always be zero interference achieved by automatic channel
switching. There are several types of DECT baby monitor that allow two way communication
meaning that the parents can talk back to their baby via the monitoring unit. Again,
you can be assured no spurious noise will appear to the baby with a DECT system.
