Can this be converted to a hard wired system easily? Any easy options to boost the reception? I have easy access to run a cable to the babies rooms, but the wireless is crappy for reception
Answer
Try to minimize interference, such as moving cordless 2.4GHz phones, microwaves, etc away from the monitor.
Make sure there aren't large, solid objects like refrigerators or concrete walls between the transmitters.
That's about all you can hope to do.
You can always build a DIY parabolic antenna to boost reception...there are instructions online on how to do this.

Is it easy to install baby safety gates?
Adam
I am moving into a house at the end of the month and it has 2 stairwells. So I would need to install 4 baby safety gates for my 15 month old's protection. Are they easy to install or should I get someone to do it?
Answer
It's not difficult at all for a DIY, with even the most modest tools. The issue might extend a bit farther however. In your case spend for the best. Certainly dollar amounts should never be equated to child safety. While I have installed some for other than family members; it is a MAJOR liability issue. Certainly as a DIY your concerns are as valid; but in your case also is it valid for a contractor to not strictly want to take on the safety of YOUR child...after the fact; and possibly for years.
Instructions are pretty clear with any quality product; and should be followed. Not only do you want the gate secured in a locking system; TOP AND BOTTOM; but also one with some fabrication that disallows climbing over; and/.or secured protrusions; etc.
A tenacious child will continue to seek out ways to overcome a gate; and obviously any child young enough to NOT GET IT; should be pretty constantly monitored anyway.
