Digital Baby Monitors Newer DECT audio monitors get the least interference

"The biggest problems with baby monitors have always been static and interference. Interference can be particularly problematic. Because the majority of monitors are still analog monitors, they can easily pick up nearby signals on the same bandwidth. Parents report hearing their neighbor's sounds through their own monitor -- or worse, hearing neighbors' conversations." if you can hear your neighbors, there's a good chance

Reviewers say there's really no absolute way to tell unless you actually try a baby monitor in your house, so save your receipt.

monitors and cords -- analog or digital -- be placed at least three feet away from a person.

"Philips baby monitor also has some nice extras, including auto channel switching (to find the clearest signal), a walkie-talkie feature and indicators for low-battery and out of range. Sensitivity control also allows you to adjust for ambient noise like an air conditioner or humidifier."

Using Usual Things such as Bungee Cord instead of Gates

Using Usual Things: "Bungee Cords instead of baby gates. I found that two substantial eye hooks screwed into the door frames with a bungee cord strung between them effectively kept Tom out of any room off limits. The baby gates actually created a hazard, in that they were too short for his height and he could fall over them. They were also a pain in the neck to open and shut for my access to my own space. The bungee cords allowed me to keep doors open throughout the house while securing his walk space. They also gave Tom a signal of resistance when his body touched on them, he never tried to get over or under them, and he was unable to figure out how to detach them.

I bought bungee cord by the yard at a local hardware store and tied them to clasps also bought in the same store. I could adjust length needed myself that way and it was actually cheaper to make my own then buy ready made"
