subject: A Wireles Baby Monitor Provides More Convienence [print this page] A video baby monitor looks like a wireless phone with display screen or a small portable TV.When choosing a video monitor for your baby, frequency is one particular thing to consider.
A video baby monitor that offers ability to change channels is certainly a good choice. You can minimize or even eliminated interference by switching from one channel to another.
A battery charger will save you some money from buying replacement batteries, since the video display screen requires pretty big power consumption. The larger is the screen, the bigger is the power consumption.
A digital camera as part of the system is placed near the crib and it picks up an image of your baby. A lightweight colored LCD or black and white screen kept near you simultaneously displays video of your baby's activities.
Portability is another thing to consider, whether you need a handheld portable, or a tabletop video baby monitor. A tabletop video baby monitor usually has a bigger screen, normally sizes 5" or more. It is also AC powered.
Baby Monitors are a necessity when your baby is sound asleep in a different room for both safety and peace of mind.
However, the basic function is that of a one-way radio that transmits to a receiver within a certain distance.
These days, most baby monitors are of the wireless variety.
Thus, parents should take care that their baby monitor has the range necessary to cover every part of their home, especially if they have a larger home.
If you live in the suburbs, the high frequency monitors should work fine, but the more electronic equipment, electric power lines, cell phones, etc., around or near your home, the more interference you'll experience so opt for a lower frequency monitor, and at least one with multiple channels.
Most baby monitors are either audio, or a combination of video and audio. Some video baby monitors have even taken advantage of the current technology of the Internet.
Choose one whose range will cover your entire home, that contains multiple channels, and try to gauge the frequency according to electromagnetic interference you have around your house. In the end, a baby monitor can make a new or seasoned parent's job a lot easier.
