Have you ever picked up outside signals on your baby monitor such as cell phones, intercoms or other monitors?

Answer
We actually pick up air traffic control on our newborn's baby monitor from a small local air strip out here where we live. Sometimes we've even picked up other babies crying from houses nearby. Just yesterday morning we listened to air traffic control guide a plane to landing and I must admit it was rather interesting :)

Can my neighbor who has a baby monitor hear my cell phone conversations and cordless home phone conversations?

Curious

I want to prevent my nosey neighbor to hear my phone conversations inside my own home. Can anyone give me some insight here? Thanks!

Answer
Digital cell phone conversations are not easily intercepted and decrypted. The police can do it, but not your neighbor. the old analog cell phone system was easily intercepted and evesdropped on, but not digital.

Cordless phones, baby monitors, walkie talkies and many other consumer devices all use the same basic frequencies and technology. They are easily and frequently accidentally intercepted., especially the cheaper analog units. You can look for the better quality digital cordless phones, especially the ones using spread spectrum technology if you want a higher level of privacy.
