Frequencies and channel range, what kind do you need?
If you are living in an apartment building or something similar with a lot of other families around, you will want to find a unit which gives you a wide range of frequencies, so that you can eliminate any interference from those sources. The last thing you want is to pick up the signal from someone else’s baby monitor instead of your own, but this is less important if you live in an area that is relatively child free. You’ll find most of the less expensive models work at a frequency of 49 MHZ. That frequency will usually have a great of signal interference and noise, and that’s more than likely why they are so inexpensive. These are the systems that will also try to field calls from your neighbors cordless phones, pick up conversations had on cell phones by passing drivers and, potentially even your neighbors’ monitoring system. More costly monitors which are of higher quality and different frequencies won’t pose these issues. If you want to avoid these interference problems, the way to go is with monitors operating at 2.4 GHZ. By the way, you might also find this info on how to stop bedwetting to be helpful.
