A Guide To Selecting A Baby Monitor
ILC Reference NO 61:22:999
Item sourced from ILC WA database
Short Description
A baby monitor consists of a plug in transmitter (in the baby's room) and a receiver placed wherever the carer is in the home. As well as being used to monitor a baby in another room the monitors can be used to listen to a person who is "at risk" and / or who needs to communicate with a carer.

More Details
The same frequency for both units is selected. A choice of two is given in case of interference. Switch the units on, adjust the volume and sounds can be heard even through closed doors or outside.
Considerations for use:
A battery operated receiver can be carried around the house with the carer. The distance over which the monitor will work depends on what is between the two units eg. the number and type of walls. Claims vary from around 50 - 100m.
Some have a light that indicates noise. This is helpful if the carer has a hearing impairment or if they are engaged in some noisy activity. Compare models for background noise. Some may be unacceptably loud.
An automatic battery back up can be useful in the event of a power failure.
A voice activated model may not detect softer sounds.
These are general suggestions - if you experience considerable difficulty in performing activities of daily living, consult an occupational therapist at a community health centre or aged care assessment team, or make an appointment with the ILC.
