Baby Monitor Technology

Baby Monitor TechnologyBy Catherine Olivia
Having a baby can be a nerve wracking experience for newparents - not the nine months of pregnancy, I'm talking aboutafter the infant is brought home from the hospital. It's alwaysthe same thing, by the time they have their third child theyhave it all figured out, but with number one it's a learningthing.
Baby monitors help you hear your baby's needs without youhaving to be in the room with the baby. Some baby monitors areportable, or "mobile" and are small enough that you can carry itin your pocket as you do your daily chores around the house.Depending on your price range it's best to have a base unit thatplugs into the wall. The receiving unit can be like yourportable phone, you can carry it around with you, and plug itback into the base unit to be recharged.
Some people find that their baby monitor can be interrupted bycell phones, mobile phones, computer networks and even yourneighbors baby monitors. Be aware of any potential interruptionsbefore you put the monitor into official use. Also, make sureyou get a monitor with a receiving unit that emits a tone whenthe battery is going low so you won't be caught with a deadbattery.
Another consideration before purchasing a baby monitor is therange the monitors have. If you have a more regular sized homesay 1,800 you probably won't have any problem with aconventional baby monitor. If you live in a home that has squarefootage of 4,000 or more, or if you live in a multi level homeyou may need a specific type of unit.
There are baby monitors available that actually feature what iscalled a "sensor pad". The pad is placed underneath the cribsheet and picks up any movement the baby may make. Somephysicians recommend these types of monitors for prematurebabies.
