    How Baby Monitors Work

    A baby monitor is nothing more than a radio transmitter. It is put on a fixed frequency and puts out an FM signal, as long as it is turned on. If you house is not covered in aluminum siding, even the simplest radio scanner can pick up the frequency from you baby monitor, which is why it's best to turn it off if you're not using it, as the receive will be able to hear all the sounds in the room. The radio scanners can pick up the transmission from you small baby monitor for up to half a mile away... So remember that...

    To avoid eavesdropping, simply turn the monitor off unless it is monitoring your baby.
