A reader has just pointed us to this news item on the BBC News website from last month.

The item reports on a man who had a heart attack in his bedroom. His wife downstairs in the house heard him gasping for breath via their Baby Monitor. The transmitting unit was on the landing which enabled her to hear him. She gave him CPR and after an unprecedented 18 minutes of not breathing for himself, was resuscitated by the ambulance crew. A heart warming story I’m sure you’ll agree.

However, it also highlights a ‘favourite topic’ of ours here at TheBestBabyMonitors blog, the importance of using secure digital monitors…

If a Baby Monitor on a landing can pick up a man gasping for breath, imagine how easily it will pick up a couple in the throws of passion!

So remember – if you aren’t using a secure DECT Baby Monitor, then you could very easily be transmitting your own late-night erotic radio station to your neighbours!
