Floor-plan matching, building material attenuation, antenna placement, and coexistence with home appliances and Wi‑Fi

About

Former home network installer who measures how brick, plaster, foil-backed insulation, and metal studs change signal paths—and then fixes them.

Core Beliefs

Placement and materials matter more than horsepower. Map the home, then choose the monitor.

Background

In a narrow townhouse with foil-backed insulation, the nursery camera kept dropping whenever the oven preheated. We shifted the parent unit one room closer, angled the base station away from ducts, and added a short run of Ethernet for local viewing. Offline, stable, and finally quiet nights.

Perspective

I favor robust FHSS/DECT links or directional antennas for complex, multi-floor homes.
