If you are a parent that wants to monitor children in another room, or you want to monitor activities in another room while you are working somewhere else, you may consider investing in a wireless hand held monitor system.
These devices allow you to see and hear exactly what is going on in another room without worrying about cables or having to install complex surveillance equipment.
You can receive audio and video signals in real-time, and also choose to receive them on standard TV, VCR or even a home computer.
One of the key benefits of wireless hand held monitoring devices is that they can deliver high resolution color images and high quality sound in real time.
You do not have to set up bulky camera equipment in the area you want to monitor because these cameras can be positioned discretely on a table top or other area of the living space for immediate video capturing.
Another benefit of wireless hand held monitoring devices is that they can be connected to a PC for easy viewing.
If you want to monitor the area from your home computer or laptop, all you need to do is connect the receiver to your PC equipped with a standard video capture card.
This allows you to monitor the area in real time and even record the capture if you wish to do so.
The receiver can also be connected to a television set or a VCR if you want to record all activity.
If you decide to use the handheld receiver that comes with the wireless monitoring system, you can move around with the device with ease and still get a high-resolution image and quality sound.
Quality devices are designed with large LCD screens and the built-in microphone on the recording device will deliver high quality sound at all times.
Another significant benefit of wireless hand held monitor devices is that they can be designed with infrared LED lighting so you can still get a high quality picture when it is dark.
This makes it much easier to monitor an area all day, and means that you do not have to switch out camera equipment.
