Using walkie talkies as baby monitor

[Taurean]

I ihave heaps of wifi stuff in my house and my angel care works beautifully no static no interferance

:yeahthat:

We did have a different monitor in the beginning but it didn't work due to all the interruptions.

My sister used their Uniden phone as a monitor and we use ours if friends kids sleep at our place while we have a dinner party, etc. The phone actually has a 'room monitor' setting but I'm not sure how long the battery would last if you used it overnight and if the phone rings it cuts out the monitor. However, you can switch the main base for the phone to 'Do not Disturb' so all calls go silently to your answering machine (so the monitor isnt interupted) and you can also switch the handset with the baby to silent.

I dont know what brand it is but we got a cheapy from toys r us, it only cost us $50 and it is perfect. We have wireless internet as well as nearly everyone in our street and we have never had any problems no interference or anything.

I've tried a Safety 1st one and recently got hold of a Babycom one off Gumtree, neither of them worked. Maybe I need to try Phillips or another big brand. I guess atleast if I buy a brandnew one and keep the receipt I can always get my money back whereas I can't from gumtree and I'll end up with a room full of monitors!! LOL thanks everyone

We have a FP one that has 10 channels on it so if one is interfering you can change it and you are right about getting it new, we went through around 4 before we stuck with this one and were able to just keep swapping them over until we found one that worked.
