Philips AVENT DECT Baby Monitor

Good product. No installation required. Use anywhere

Sound clarity is too good. But as it is provided to insert batteries and use it anywhere as per the area mentioned without wiring..but it's not possible as I need to keep in charge for the whole time

The product was shipped the seller from USA and works perfectly as described.

The product works fine for our purpose. But we had another baby monitor which unfortunately died in 10 months. The features in it were much better compared to this product. Here are some of the issues. 1) There is no inbuilt chargeable battery in the parent unit and that is a huge con. The earlier one had inbuilt battery with very good battery life and could easily be recharged by just plugging in the parent unit and if plugged in overnight, it could be used without plugging in for a very long time. But for this one we had to buy rechargeable batteries and a separate battery charger. And it makes it difficult for the portability of the parent unit since a new set of batteries has to be separately charged and replaced every time it beeps. 2) There is a power button on the baby unit and so if at all there is a power failure for even a minute, we still have to switch it back on. That is especially difficult at night since our daughter sleeps in a different room. It would have been much better if it just turned on when plugged in without a separate button for it. 3) There is no belt clip on the parent unit. So carrying it around while working is difficult. 4) The night light is not all that powerful. So we still use a table lamp in our daughter's room. 5) Since this is an imported item, it comes with US plug pins and needs adapters for both the units. But thankfully, there is no issue with our voltage system.

Good volume and reception

A trusted brand that always delivers quality

Better install a free intercom app in another android phone with mic on, the phone is to be placed near bed of sleeping baby. Works well and its free.

Extremely sensitive, has good range, the fan noise is a bit of problem if we keep hearing it for a long time. Works fine !

When the parent unit is not plugged in, the battery dies within 2-3 days. For a relatively expensive piece of equipment, this is entirely unacceptable (and unexpected).

We live on a farm and I am able to hear down the hill to the house about 20m from my daughter's bed.

Hasta ahora ha funcionado bastante bien el equipo. Tiene un buen diseño, de uso simple e intuitivo, con buena calidad de audio, y hasta ahora no hemos captado interferencias de ningún tipo. El único punto en contra es que los primeros niveles del volumen son algo bajos, y sólo se escucha bien en los niveles 4 y 5. Pero eso no le quita ningún mérito. En resumen, el equipo es sencillo de operar, funciona correctamente, y tiene un precio bastante accesible.

I’ve waited 6 months before posting a review and have not had any issues with this monitor at all. If you’re looking for a simple monitor that allows you to hear when your baby cries then this does the job. I was really put off by the bad reviews but glad I didn’t pay attention to them. We have a big three storey house and the monitor works great throughout. I leave one end plugged in to the baby’s room all the time and the the other is plugged into the kitchen. The audio is loud enough that I rarely have to take it with me but if I do I just unplug (have charged batteries in there). White noise isn’t really an issue as the audio stops picking it up after a little while but turns on again if there’s a new noise like the baby crying. The only two annoying things are that the monitor will beep if it is turnered on but the receiver is not and that the monitor makes a loud noise when you turn it off. Honestly though hardly an issue. I’m so glad I didn’t spend more on a “fancier” model, this one will do us just great!

This monitor does a great job. The baby room unit is wired to the power outlet. The remote unit can be run by batteries or by a power cord. We use ours with 2x Amazon-branded rechargeable AA batteries. It requires two AA batteries. The unit will NOT recharge your batteries for you, even if you plug it in. You'll need to use a standard battery charger to recharge the batteries, if you're using rechargeables. It doesn't come with batteries, so you'll need to supply your own. Important Note: it will sound like it's cutting out once in a while, or often. It isn't. It tries to save battery power by only transmitting sound when there's something to send. If the room is very quiet, it won't send any audio at all. If you have a fan running in the background, you'll sometimes hear it and sometimes you won't. This is NOT a problem. It will transmit audio EVERY TIME your baby is making noise. We're in a neighborhood with a lot of WiFi traffic, but not a lot of houses. We have had no noticed interference issues with this monitor set. Also, supposedly the audio is encrypted. This was a requirement for us. I don't notice any lag in audio, though it does take about three seconds for the units to negotiate a conversation before audio starts streaming. These provide only one-way audio. The remote unit does not have any means of sending audio to the baby room unit.
