Walkie-talkie Features This option provides you with the ability to talk to your little one through the baby monitor. On top of that, you can even play music or transmit almost anything you want to the baby. Some doting parents also make use of this feature to calm their babies down by talking to them over the baby monitor. Mobile baby monitors make it possible for parents to keep tabs on their infants without the necessity of staying awake or standing outside the nursery door all night. A typical baby monitor set consists of two parts: a radio transmitter and a portable receiver. The radio transmitter must be positioned 8 to 10 feet away from your baby's crib. These added features alert the deaf parent every time the baby is in need of attention. A number of products on the market also offer other means of alerting deaf parents to the cries of their infants. One particular product consists of receivers that come in two parts: a main clock and a tiny sound sensor. They are usually portable and come with multiple cameras and even night vision. Sensory monitorsdetect the baby s slightest movements even during sleep. It fits under the mattress of the baby and alarms you when the baby stops moving or is absolutely still for 20 seconds. Some models available also come with audio monitors installed. Aside from that, baby monitors that come with a video monitoring feature may also suffer from a fuzzy reception. Another annoying part of the whole interference dilemma is the fact that you could sometimes pick up your neighbor's phone conversations on your baby monitor and vice versa. This makes it even more difficult for you to hear or decode the sounds that are coming from your baby's room. If you live in a small apartment or if your baby's room is only a couple of rooms away, then virtually any type of baby monitor will suffice. On the other hand, parents who own bigger houses or live in multi-story residences require a device that has a longer range. In this way, they will know for certain that the transmitter and receiver will not falter even in extended distances.
