Telephone Baby Monitor
cut through the static
Published in issue 315, November 2002
The usefulness of baby monitor alarms using (FM) radio has always been limited by poor range and its susceptibility to interference. This novel design uses a microcontroller to take a fresh look at the problem.There are several different types of baby monitor on the market. The most common provides a short-range radio link (typically 100 m) between the transmitter unit in the nursery and the receiver unit carried by a parent. Another type uses audio to modulate a carrier frequency sent along mains wiring to the parents receiver plugged into a mains outlet. The RF model has a limited range and the mains modulation method requires that the parent cannot wander too far from a mains socket. Both systems are susceptible to interference.
