Is Your Baby Monitor Safe?

Most of the parents give their children all care and love. How better to take care of baby becomes their big concern. With the development of technology, a lot of young parents buy baby monitors from electronics wholesaler as their assistant. Lately, there has been some discussion regarding the safety of digital baby monitors, which use digital communication in their link between the mobile station and the base station.
Children may be more vulnerable from exposure to any form of electro magnetic energy, such as that generated by mobile telephones, and to a degree baby monitors. Digital technology, due to its 'pulsed' nature appears to be more harmful at lower levels of power than the older analogue technology, which is potentially more prone to interference but creates a more 'even' output without spikes.
The distance from a transmitter is important, since the power drops off as the square of the distance. If you double the distance of any infant monitor or transmitter from your baby, the level of electromagnetic radiation is reduced by a factor of 4. If you are concerned about the safety of your digital baby monitor consider the following:
1.    Keep any baby monitor from your baby as far as possible (at least 1 metre)
2.    Remember that doubling the distance reduces the electromagnetic radiation by a factor of 4. So 2 metres is better than 1 metre by a factor of 4!
Besides, safe baby monitor installation is crucial. You’re urged to immediately check the location of your video monitor, including any wall-mounted cameras, and all electric cords to make sure the cords are out of arm’s reach of your child. In its general safety notice on baby monitor cords, the CPSC advises you:
1.    Immediately check the location of corded monitors, including those mounted on the wall, to make sure cords are out of arm’s reach of your child.  
2.    Ensure cords are placed more than three feet away from any part of your baby’s crib, bassinet, or places he or she sleeps (or plays).  
3.    Periodically check the location of the monitor, because as your baby grows, what was once out of arm’s reach will change.
4.    Inspect your home to ensure your child can’t get to other products with cords – think decorations with ribbons or streamers, coats with drawstrings
5.    Don't put beds, cribs or other furniture near window blind cords.
Don’t sit in front of your compute. Go and check your baby monitor to make it in safe and right place immediately.
