Time and again, parents turn to technology for quick fixes
to various parenting problems. These solutions are often in the
form of gadgets that have the potential of making life a lot
easier for the middle-class, working parents. Then again, if
you live in an apartment building with a dozen – or more –
tenants, you could come across a number of additional setbacks
every time you try to use a wireless device. Baby monitors in
blocks of flats definitely face the challenge of interfering
with each other.
Fixing Wireless Interference
Baby monitors basically provide parents with an extra pair
of eyes or ears. As helpful as these gadgets may be, they could
also turn out to be a nuisance every time you encounter
interference problems. Unfortunately, such instances could take
place quite often if you live in a flat with very close (as in
proximity) next-door neighbors.
There are actually a number of ways to get rid or avoid
interference issues when using baby monitors inside an
apartment building. Here are some of them:
1) Change the frequency band.
Most modern wireless devices are equipped with capabilities
of channel adjustments. This is one way of patching up
interference problems. The process may be as effortless as
sliding a switch or pushing a key. If you happen to be using a
router with a wireless connection, then you should at least
stay away from the uppermost or lowermost channels. These
frequencies have a propensity of interfering with other devices
in your home, including the baby monitor.
2) Switch on the baby monitor before other devices.
In order for the baby monitor to obtain the most excellent
reception and transmission using the 2.4-GHz channel, you need
to switch off all devices that operate in the same frequency.
Then switch on the baby monitor followed by your other wireless
gadgets. Remember that the base unit of your cordless phone
should be switched on last.
3) Purchase a digital baby monitor instead.
To make sure that your neighbors will not be able to pick up
the sounds transmitted by your baby monitor, buy a digital type
as an alternative to the analog version. This way, you can rest
assured that the only sounds you'll hear are the ones that have
originated from your baby's room.
4) Keep your electronic devices at a safe distance from each
other.
If channel adjustments still won't work and the substitution of
the appliance is not an immediate alternative, make an effort
to keep the conflicting devices at a safe distance from one
another. Doing so will somehow reduce the likelihood of
interference.
Other Safety Tips
- Don't ever use a mere baby monitor to justify your
absence. Parental supervision is undoubtedly important,
especially if you live in an apartment building where strangers
can easily come and go.
- Do not position a baby monitor's transmitter or receiver
near water. Like any electronic device, baby monitors can cause
an electrical shock if not used properly.
- Adhere to the manufacturer's strict instructions at all
times with regard to the usage and the placement of baby
monitors inside your home.
- Handle the baby monitor with care. Do not recklessly carry
the device around. Also, avoid clutching the monitor by the
antenna because it can easily break.
- Safeguard the baby monitor from direct heat sources, as
well as the glare of the sun.
- Do not forget to position the baby monitor's receiver or
transmitter on a sufficiently high surface that could not be
reached or disturbed by other children.
Those were some of the things you can do for problems with
baby monitors in blocks of flats. If you can't completely get
rid of the dilemma, you can at least do something to minimize
its annoying effects.
