At what age should my child sleep in his or her own room to greatest decrease the risk of SIDS?

It sounds like the risk for SIDS is greatest at age 2-3 months or 2-4 months, and that it is no longer classified as SIDS if the baby is 1 year old. So would the answer be after the first birthday, or second best, at 5 months or any later time?

The child is not known to be at greater risk for SIDS.

Please note that the parents do have a video baby monitor.

EDIT: I see why my question was ambiguous. I realize that moving the child to his/her own room does not seem to decrease the risk of SIDS. But if the chance of SIDS is reduced by having the child in the same room as the parents, when can I most safely move my child to his/her own room? I realize that this is likely a statistical probability question.
