Video Sender interference

    Following on from my other thread which ascertained that I couldn't route my DVD player through the digibox's RF-out, I was thinking of getting a video sender instead.

    However, having read another thread about wireless phone extenders possibly causing or suffering from interference, I'm now concerned I might have such problems with the baby monitor we use at home. The monitor we have is digital, so I doubt its quality would be impaired, but might it affect a video sender's signal? Or do I need to check the radio frequency of the monitor?

    I guess the more expensive video senders are probably digital, but the cheaper models sold in Argos and Maplins? They tend to work at 2.4GHz, but I think some are configurable to some extent and/or might have different channels selectable. Would that be enough to avoid problems?

    Unless it is a DECT phone based monitor it is unlikely to be digital.

    The Video senders all have a choice of four channels A, B, C & D.

    None of the video senders (nor Digisender brand) are digital.

    All the video senders use 2.4Ghz and indeed can interfer and vive vera with WiFI. Choice of channel and siting can avoiod this. Newer WiIF is dual band able to operte on 5.6GHz too.

    Some security cameras are IPTV/Web cam over WiFi. Many are Video sender Analog.

    100 E = Analog Camera
    500 E = Digital Camara

    Microwave ovens and bluetooth also use the 2.4 GHz band

    But as far as I know its only in North America that cordless phones or baby monitors use this range

    If you buy them in Argos and they don't work out you can always bring them back for a refund and try something else.

    Oh yeah - we have a cordless phone too! But, so long as it's DECT, it shouldn't interfere with anything, right?

    And as long as the video sender has some channels to choose from (and I think the baby monitor does too), we should be OK?

    No.. Dect phones can cause problems, but shouldn't affect Video Sender.

    Maybe. Try and see.
