subject: Baby Monitors With Two Receivers Allows Both Mom And Dad Monitor The Baby [print this page] Wireless monitors, are by far the most common type used. Since it is wireless, it is possible for the signal to be intercepted, but most monitors take steps to allow this to be avoided, such as allowing transmission over different frequencies. Some also use a system called DECT, which is more secure, but some have concerns about the radiation put out by DECT.
Video monitors, which are becoming increasingly popular, have a shorter range than those that only transmit audio. Many of these can be accessed over the internet, so they can be used away from the home.
Usually the transmitter in the child's room is plugged in to the wall, while the receivers are battery powered. Some work similarly to a cell phone, which has a rechargeable battery, but others use regular disposable batteries.
Many baby monitors also have a built in motion sensor, which will set off an alarm if the baby moves. Frequently a sensor is placed under the mattress that detect when the baby is moved. The receiver that the parent holds frequently has a vibrating or visual alert, which is important for those with difficulty hearing, but also so the child is not woken.
A baby monitor is a necessary tool in ensuring peace of mind for parents. They consist of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is placed beside baby and the receiver in another room beside the parents. This enables you to watch over the baby when not present in the nursery. So you can do the housework, watch the television or even be out in the yard and always be able to hear or see your baby.
The size of the receiver is key to the portability of the device. If it's to big you will not be able to pop it into your pocket when moving around the house. A built in alert will let you know when the receiver is running low on battery power so that you know to recharge and that you are not carrying around a dead receiver.
Choose which system that meets your needs from high end video baby monitor to the simple audio monitor.
All the systems work on the same principle and this will bring peace of mind to you and ensure that baby is constantly watched over in a safe and loving manner.
