Sometimes I can hardly believe just how ignorant and stupid the "average" person must be! ANYONE with half a brain should be able to figure out that if the monitor claims it is effective to 100 feet, that 100 feet extends in ALL directions and the monitor cannot determine the fact the neighbor's house is just 50 feet away. This is the very same "problem" that I recall many people having when cordless phones first started out.

Call it what you will, baby monitor, room monitor, CORDLESS telephone, walkie-talkie, cell phone... all of these things are radio transceivers and ANYONE with a radio on the same frequency can listen in, legally or illegally. An old friend and I used to ride bicycle late at night, after 12 midnight when I got off work. Since it was late and we would sometimes be in residential areas, we could not really talk without disturbing the peace... so we had a set of voice activated head sets so we could talk quietly and still be heard a mile away. The radios we used also operated on the same frequency as many room monitors.

Quite frequently, while riding through neighborhoods, we would pick up the cordless phones and monitors from 1/4 mile away. Just imagine having some of the most intimate details of your life booming into a neighbors house while you have sex in the next room or chat about the son getting caught with cocaine or maybe, just a baby crying... if the device uses a radio frequency, ANYONE with the right radio can listen in from quite some distance.]]>Nov 3rd 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/03/man-sues-over-spying-baby-monitor-that-monitors-baby-neighbors/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/03/man-sues-over-spying-baby-monitor-that-monitors-baby-neighbors/Nov 3rd 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/03/man-sues-over-spying-baby-monitor-that-monitors-baby-neighbors/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/03/man-sues-over-spying-baby-monitor-that-monitors-baby-neighbors/Nov 3rd 2009 9:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/11/03/man-sues-over-spying-baby-monitor-that-monitors-baby-neighbors/http://www.switched.com/2009/11/03/man-sues-over-spying-baby-monitor-that-monitors-baby-neighbors/http://www.espow.com/wholesale-security-baby-monitor.html).
Buy in the other side, interference in same frequence is a buy in some cheap baby monitor, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to solve this problem, they can encrypt for the video signal and discrypt it in the receiver end to avoid the crosstalk.]]>Jan 19th 2010 2:08AM
