has anyone else heard other babies cry on their baby monitors. i swithched the monitor on the other night, it was the early hours of the morningand i heard alot more than a baby cry, i changed frequency to see if it would stop but it didnt, put it this way i was hoping he wouldnt say her name, i turned it off, even though i didnt know who it was i felt so embarrassed for them. i cant use the monitors anymore, its not safe anyone could be listening in to your innermost secrets

Usually the monitor is in with the baby, either in another room, or if in the same room, you turn it off when your in that room. So really theres much is going to heard across it. Other than crying. Or snoring hopefully.
Yes, we bought one a few years back and the first night we plugged it in we could hear our neighbours who were about 1000 yards away but not our baby! It was just normal family sounds though, we switched it off and the next day returned it for a different brand. Obviously neighbours were on same frequency. No problems after that. Though Mr.V did inform the neighbour...
Most baby monitors operate in the 2.4GHz band and only have a few channels so where a number of adjacent houses have them the chances of overlapping or tuning to the same channel as another is significant. Seems a bit odd if you changed channels and still picked up the same sounds.
maybe i should be glad out baby monitor doesn't work 
Never knew that was possible. The wonders of 2.4GHz, eh? Did your man say "over and out" when they were finished?
