DIY long distance baby alarm
Hi All,
I need to lash-up something so that we can monitor the kids while we are in the shed doing home-cinema things. We have a standard baby alarm, but the range isn't up to the job. We also have a set of walky-talky type things, which work, but I can't find a way to have two units on 'vox' while a third is on receive (two ankle-biters, hence two senders). Sticking one of the radios in front of the baby monitor in the house kinda sorta works, but it's a horrible cludge and I don't trust it. I've been racking my brains, and I can't think of a simple way to do it. Anyone have any ideas? If it helps, we have a spare cat 5e cable between house and shed which I could use, provided I can think of what to put at each end! The shed is about 30 metres from the house, and is metal clad, which doesn't help. Ta, Glenn. |
