what's the best of the best babyphone / baby intercom / baby monitor thingy ? I've heard that I need to buy something with DECT and that there are also systems that monitor the baby's breathing etc... what's the top of the line system ?

Answer
I was also looking for a good baby monitor, and my husband and I wanted a combined video/audio one.

After much researching around and reading lots of reviews, we're going to get the:
Swann SW233-WDM VBM-330 Digital Video Baby Monitor
It costs about AUD$260.

These were our criteria for selection:
Audio - good microphone
Color video and reasonable screen size
No interference or use of multiple channels
Night vision (at least a few meters)
Thermometer a plus
Multiroom monitoring if possible
Portable receivers
Transmitter - non-battery powered
Motion sensor for stop of movement
Underwriters Labs mark for safety
Intercom
No LED flahes on camera
No Auto-mute

The Swann model does not necessarily fulfil all the criteria, but the most important ones it does fulfill, and it fulfills the most of our criteria.

Hope that helps! P.S. Swann is very good in surveillance technology.

which cordless phone is better a 2.4 ghz or 5.8 ghz?

jl5ha

does one have a greater receiving distance from the base than the other

Answer
neither!!

I would go with the Panasonic DECT 6.0...!

These channels are reserved exclusively for voice communication applications and therefore are less likely to experience interference from other wireless devices such as baby monitors and wireless networks. DECT devices made for use in the U.S. use the brand DECT 6.0 to distinguish them from both DECT devices used elsewhere and U.S. cordless equipment operating in the 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ISM bands. The "6.0" is a version number (as in software), not a spectrum band; the term "6.0 GHz" for DECT 6.0 phones is incorrect, since it operates at 1.9 GHz.

what does this mean. ten points?

Transmission Band1.9 GHz? what does that mean when it comes to phones for examplez
American Telecom 1.9 GHz and is $36.00 a good price for this type of phone. im trying to buy a house phone that is cheap that is why im asking.

Answer
1.9Ghz is the RF that the handset and base communicate with each other.. that is the frequency that DECT phones operate on... it will provide better range compared to 2.4 and 5.8Ghz phones..

with radio waves the LOWER the frequency the FURTHER the range...

also, since DECT/1.9Ghz has been set aside for cordless communications there is no other consumer wireless devices in this frequency range such as in the 2.4Ghz range, where there is wifi, wireless video cameras, baby monitors, microwave ovens and other devices...

Answer
Personally I like the Panasonic KX-TG1032S. It's a DECT 6.0 phone which means it operates on a frequency dedicated to cordless phones. You will not get interference from WiFi, baby monitors, microwaves ....

What is the best Baby monitor on the market these days?

Carma

there are so many to choose from am so confused on which one to buy.

any suggestions?

thanks

Answer
My husband and I bought a Safety 1st DECT technology monitor from Babies R Us. We have a two story house, so we needed one that had long range, and we also have wireless internet so we needed one with zero interference. This is by far the best monitor I have seen. We keep it plugged in at night next to our bed. There is NEVER any static and we can hear our son perfectly. During the day we unplug it (it has rechargable batteries that last for hours unplugged) and carry it around the house with us. We couldn't be happier with our selection!!

How easy is it to tap someones phone?

How easy is it to tap someones phone?

I have a friend who recently broke up with a boyfriend. He is still trying to contact her, but she tells me he seems to know unusual details of her private phone conversations and brings them up to her. How can I help her, and how would I help her find out if her phone was tapped?

Answer
very easy to tap a POTS (landline phone) or a VoIP phone that has been connected to your existing wiring, and the wire still goes outside of your home to the NID box...

VoIP is not easy, if not impossible to tap (illegally)
cellular is not easy if not impossible to tap..

feds can tap anything... but it usually requires connections from the telephone company office, not something the average person has access to...

if you have any 900Mhz cordless phones, throw them out.. replace your cordless phones with any technology that has DSS or FHSS (2.4,5.8, DECT)..... DECT is the best choice...

if there are any baby monitors, or wireless intercoms, or any other device that transmits sound wirelessly, remove them or turn them off..

Why does my wireless connection keep disconnecting?

sicpyro101

I own the router and my signal strength is perfect. it is a broadband connection. i am 6 feet away from router. out of the blue it will just dissconnect and then reconnect a few seconds later.

Answer
Do you (or a close neighbor) use wireless phones (not cell phones, a cordless home phone), or have a baby monitor? Many devices like this operate on the same 2.4ghz frequency and can interfere with wireless signals. When they are activated, they can interrupt your signal until they are shut off.

Unfortunately, there is not a great fix for this. One fix, is to use a different wireless card. In my experience, newer wireless antennas are less suceptible to interference than old ones.

There are phones out there that do not interfere with wireless (DECT is something to look for on the box) but you can't make your neighbor buy it if that is your problem. Hope this helps!

Do you think corded phones are better than cordless phones?

Silly question but I was just wondering what you thought. Cordless phones are annoying. They have horrible quality, receive interference from just about any other device sharing the same network. Plus they need power to operate, so they are useless in a power outage. And there also in some ways a security breach. You can easily listen into a conversation with a baby monitor. And to top it off they lack most features that corded phones offer. So what's your opinion?

Answer
You clearly haven't used a modern cordless phone. A good digital cordless phone is unlikely to see any interference with much of anything, the link quality is indistinguishable from wired, and no, you cannot hear the call with a baby monitor. That's not to say that those things have not historically been problems, just that they're problems largely solved in pretty much all modern gear.

One good idea is to get a cordless phone system that does not collide with a home network or your microwave. Look for a 5.8GHz digital phone or a DECT (runs around 1.9MHz), rather than a 2.4GHz phone, which uses the same ISM radio band as your microwave, 802.11 network, X-Box 360, Sony PS3, Bluetooth phone, etc.

With that all said, yeah, I have a few wired phones as well as the cordless. Of course, this may also depend on how you get your phone service... if you're using POTS (plain old telephone system) phones, a corded phone is useful in a blackout. If you're on VoIP, FiOS, DSL, or Cable, there's a strong likelihood your network gear in the house goes down anyway, so the cordless phone is unlikely to be an issue.

I'm very happy with my digital 5.8GHz phones... one wired connection for a base station that supports up to eight handsets (I have four), phone to phone intercom system built-in, great range, enough to cover my house (4200ft^2) and the immediate areas outside (if I want to go for a walk in the woods AND talk on the phone, I'll use my cell).

I'm struggling to find a baby monitor that works in our apartment. We've tried 3 kinds and they don't work.?

Bountifulb

We always have terrible feedback and pick up other baby monitors, but never our own. I've heard there is a difference in short and long range monitors. Does anyone know anything about this, and if so, are there any monitors you recommend under $40?

Answer
There are two problems you may be experiencing. The first is your monitor is too low tech and is getting electrical interference or noise from electronics, power lines etc... The second is your monitor may be too "good" and has a large range, which encompasses other parents with monitors on the same frequencies.

Before you buy any monitor, make sure the store will let you return it if there is interference.

First I would try a good "low tech" monitor like the Fisher Price Surround Sound Lights and Sounds Monitor, $27.99 for 1 Receiver. It uses the 49 MHz band, which not many other things use now and could be the least expensive answer to your troubles.

If that doesn't work for you, skip the 900 MHz monitors and try the 2.45 - 2.54 GHz models, there is almost no difference in cost and a much better chance at clear reception. Models to look for are: The First Years True Choice ($40), Graco I-Vibe, Summer Infant Simply Clear Digital Audio Monitor
($49.99)

If these don't work the next level would be monitors with DECT technology. These are "guaranteed to be interference-free, and most clients who have them have had great luck with them. These usually run $80 and up. But I doubt you will need to go this route.

Hope this helps,

Alan
