What's the best baby monitor? I have trouble with static.?

delouse

We have the AngelCare monitor, but when it is on, we get terrible static. It may be interference with some Plantronics 900 mghz headseat phones we need for work. Is there a brand that works on a different frequency?

Answer
We use a 5.8ghz cordless phone rather then a baby monitor. It doesn't have the same problems that a baby monitor would since it's on a different frequency. Great reception, only problem is we can't use the telephone while monitoring.

Why does my baby monitor get static?

Sara Lou

It works fine during the day and most of the night. Then after I had the baby with me in my bedroom for the nightly feeding, the monitors lights lit up and it got really loud with static .

Answer
Most likely interference from another monitor, or other electronic device at a nearby neighbor's house.

Has anyone used a video baby monitor?

Pregnant w

How do they work?
What are the pros and cons?
I am thinking about buying one that you can have two monitors and see two rooms at once and was wondering how many people prefer it.

Answer
Congrats on baby #2!

I couldn't live with out my video monitor!! I have the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor. The picture is so clear both at night and during the day. I love being able to check on my baby with out waking her. I don't even have to get out of bed unless she really needs me! I think if I only had the audio, I would have been getting up a lot more often to investigate every sound, especially during the first few months. The handheld part has a button on top so you can turn off the video screen if the light bothers you at night. Then if you hear something you feel you need to check on, simply click the button and the video comes back on. I read the reviews for this product. Many people say they could not get a signal. I never had a problem. I also read that they can interfere with wi-fi. My husband is a web developer... he never would have allowed wi-fi interference!

I highly recommend this monitor to all my friends. The only con I can think of is that I have had to change the channel due to static. Seriously, it's a flick of a button and I've had to do it maybe 3 times in 7 months. No biggie! I know you can get an extra camera for this monitor, but I don't need one yet. Here is what one person commented: "We bought a second camera to go with the monitor we already had. I love being able to switch back and forth between my two kids' rooms. Only issue is if the monitor is too close to one camera, you can have interference when trying to check on the other one."

looking for a baby monitor?

Stella

I am looking for a baby monitor that will work best in my situation.

It will be used in a 2 story townhouse and only for nap times when he is sleeping upstairs and I am downstairs. I don't need it to work outside b/c we don't have a yard. It needs to work with wireless internet without static interference. I am not interested in a motion mat or video. I'd like to find a good one that is relatively inexpensive.

We bought a fisher price one but it has too much static.

Answer
You will find static on all that are analog --- just to varying degrees. Digital monitors aren't prone to interference like analog monitors are. So, digital ones don't get interference from other devices.

I've had two monitors that I really like ... one digital and one analog.

The digital one is by Safety First. It had no static interference, good battery life and good range:

The analog one is Sony Baby Call. It does have static, but it has "noise sensing technology" so when the level of ambient noise in the room is constant it shuts off --- so you hear absolutely nothing. When the noise changes (ie: your baby crying, moving around etc) it will turn on. It also has 27 channels to choose from so you are likely to find one with minimal static interference. And, because it shuts off you won't hear any noise coming from the monitor when your baby is asleep.

best baby monitor with no static image

joyfulgirl

we are looking for a good affordable baby monitor. We live next to a small airport and are concerned with interference. suggestions - advice - do you live near an airport and have a baby monitor?

Answer
I live about 10 miles from the airport. We use summertime hand held monitor and it works good. At times, there is audio static but not enough to be bothersome. We love our monitor. It run on 900 mhz frequency and not 2.4 like most phones and laptop gear.

Will two different baby monitors in the same house cause them to have lots of static and basically not work?

Jenny

I still have a monitor in my three year old's room- I believe it's called a Fisher Price Lights and Sounds monitor and it only has two channels to choose from. We're expecting another baby in a couple of months and I will obviously need another monitor in the baby's room (which is right across the hall). I would like to know if anyone has any experience with having two monitors in the same house and if they interfere with each other so much (static, etc.) that they are useless.
Thanks!

Answer
They only interfere with each other if they are on the same frequency. You will have to buy another monitor that has two channels to switch back and forth with. Leave one on one channel and the other on a different, otherwise yes they will interfere.

What are the best non-digital baby monitors on the market?

Mrs.S

I have looked into digital monitors, but they're a little out of my price range. Does anyone know of any good classic style baby monitors? I am pregnant with my first child.

Answer
I love the Sony sound sensor baby call. It's voice activated so you don't hear the static. You do have the choice of listening to everything though. I bought a second one for my 3 yr olds room since I can't hear her if she calls out. They are only $35.00 at Target, great buy.

Does anyone know where I could find a double baby monitor?

Auntie M

I need to find a double baby monitor for my sisters new house. She has 2 babies (16 month and 3 month) and needs a double monitor. What I mean is 2 receivers and 2 speakers that all work together so she can put a receiver in each of the babies rooms and 1 speaker upstairs and one downstairs. If anyone knows where I could find one online or in a store that would be great thanks :)

Answer
As far as I have been able to find, there is no such thing. You can't have two transmitters because they use the same radio frequencies - the signals interfere with each other so you just get static on the receiver. Same thing applies if you try buying two different sets of monitors - one for each baby - because ALL baby monitors share the same narrow range of frequencies due to government regulation of the radio frequencies.

My solution is to have one conventional baby monitor with 2 receivers (for one kid) and one intercom set for the other kid. The intercoms I'm using are a 3-piece set I bought from radio shack. They plug into the wall and will work 2-ways. You set the one in the baby's room to "lock" and turn the other ones on and it works just like a baby monitor. Since the baby monitor is wireless and the intercoms send the signal through the electrical wires of the house, the signals don't interfere with each other.

Are there any good baby monitors out there?

Finn

We are looking for a good, secure, low static monitor for our upcoming arrival. We also have a older son who we still use a monitor for, but that monitor is going out. Anyone have a two room system, or use two seperate monitors? If so what brands work well together?

Answer
We use the Angelcare Sight, Sound, and Movement Monitor. It's definitely pricey but wonderful because aside from having the breathing and movement detected, we can also see what's going on. When we did use only a sound monitor, we ran into our son's room with every sound he made (except he makes lots of sounds in his sleep, even cries out in his sleep), so with this we can look and see if he's awake or asleep before going in his room. Plus there's a talkback feature on it, so if he's really fussing when he wakes up, we can assure him over the monitor as we walk to his room. It is a secure monitor and on the quiet side. It also has a voice activation feature, but I'm not crazy about it because sound (even voice) cuts in and out with it. Either way, you can barely hear the white noise it lets off without the voice activation feature.
