Can anyone help with a project that I am trying to put together.
I work from Home and am a House Husband. We have three kids of varying ages. My office is situated on the side of the house. I regularly work during the night and the Wife works shifts, so occaisionaly I am left to keep an eye on the kids at night. I find this a problem when they are asleep, as I have to keep break off to check that they are ok.
I need to build some sort of listening device with a range of about 20-30 metres. I've tried using high street devices but they are not brilliant. I also need to switch from room to room when monitoring.
The device itself needs to be as small as possible. My two year old regularly spots the Baby listener in her room and shouts down it or worst still unplugs it. I would like it to be battery opperated, longest life for smallest battery is key here.
So what I need are three small listening devices. A transmitter and a receiver that will allow me to switch between either of the three devices.
My emediate question is, will I be transgressing any laws in the UK by opperating such a device and will it cause any interferance to any channels or vital services?
Unfortunately I haven't got a load to spend on this, so as cost effective as possible would be of help.
Hope someone out there can give me some ideas.
Thanks
