scothunter 12,609 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 get a battery powered alarm clock. How would that work please Scot. It wouldn't, but just humour him :laugh: sorry didnt read the question properly my bad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob190364 2,594 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Not daft at all Rob, exactly the kind of thing i am on about....something not designed for the job, but does it anyway. Although i do not have the foggiest what you are on about..camera, monitor ?? Does the baby monitor have a camera on it? you leave a camera facing the cot and have a screen next to your bed so you can see and hear the baby....kind of like a mini cctv set up. The alarm is so that if the camera failed for whatever reason (fuse, power cut etc) you'd be able to go and sort out the problem. They're quite expensive though but you can get cheaper ones without a camera (just a microphone next to the baby and a speaker next to the bed, so you can hear if the baby cries, they're much cheaper and would still have the alarm on them so that'd be the best bet I reckon.

Moll. 1,770 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 [ yes, it's an awfully complicated name for them....they're called baby monitors Iv'e done a quick search and it has made my brain hurt Not sure at all what i am supposed to be looking for, there is so much diversity Would i have to have a camera for it to work? Don't need the thermo. One more question please Rob, (Sorry to be a pest) would the alarm still be audible with the volume turned right down, otherwise i'm not going to get much sleep Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're not monitoring a baby, so it doesn't matter where the microphone/camera is positioned as long as it's plugged in. So then, when the power goes off, the camera/microphone will go off, and the screen/speaker that you have with you will start bleeping to let you know that the power has died to the camera/microphone. Come on Moll, it's not rocket science Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'd imagine an alarm could be set up quite easy in the event of a power cut. I know of someplace where a generator kicks in when there is a power loss. I wouldn't have thought that the bike repair kit would be waterproof, but its worth a try before you get somebody out. I dont think i've helped at all there Moll.............sorry... Surely to god people ride bikes in the rain random! I know you can definitely get your rubber seal replaced, and here's an alarm for power failure - http://www.ebay.co.u...=item51868e84c4 Rob, i looked into those, all reviews slated the decibels, said they are not as loud as advertised, not loud enough to wake you up The tube is in the inside Moll not the outside....................silly billy... Oh and Scot i very near pmsl there..........just had an image of Moll going to bed and having too guess when to set the alarm clock for a possible power cut............... That is one for the 'classic thread' mate.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
