As such, the baby monitor is really great. For one thing, of course, has quite normal that baby monitor function. That is, one is the base somewhere in the children out so that it is close to the sleeping baby, but so that the cables out of reach of small children curious hands. So a base on baby's head or a charging cable to baby neck is not good for long-term enjoyment of their own offspring. This safety instruction is also extra again on a sticky note on each cable.
The cable way, are very long, so you should find both the base unit and the "parent unit" a good place.
Then you can leave with the parent unit and the room is now acoustically stay up to date what happens in the nursery so. If you want you can also mute the phone, for example, if the child initially screams, and you just want to wait until it sleeps. In the case a the cry is still displayed visually by a few glowing LEDs. The louder that cries, the more LEDs light up in addition is a still a "Wine alarm" appears.
If you want you can then use the intercom function and talk with the child, VLT it. ever calm.
But of course you can also use the function differently, for example, that in a larger budget is just the child something communicate without shouting through half the house. The voice quality is good.
The range is also good. You live in an apartment building does the reception also in the neighboring apartment, and even if you sit in the house with garden in the garden because there is little to complain about. But of course, the range also has limits that you should just try it ideally.
In addition to this baby monitor function, the device still has other extras. At the maddest I find the lullaby function. 19 different songs are on the device. From known lullabies, classical music towards nature sounds (with so interesting tracks like whale song, hair dryer, vacuum cleaner, uterus). If ye At length the device and the offspring is still on the way, it turns out your night table and makes you remember the music, is really nice and comforting :)
Although you can also connect external devices even via line-in, but I think that this feature will probably rarely use.
Moreover, there is a starry sky projection function. If you switch this one colored stars and moons are projected onto the ceiling, where the frame rate changes regularly. Here, too, you can set the duration and brightness. I find very sweet and cute.
Furthermore, there is a night light and a flashlight. If you activate the night light has to a very subtle lighting. The light does not really bright, but really is only for orientation in space, even if it is on the brightest stage. The light has different colors, depending on the temperature prevailing in the sleeping room. Is it too hot, it will turn red, with yellow everything is okay and blue is too cold. This warning is a also still displayed on the parent, namely non stop, which is pretty annoying. Luckily, you can turn this feature off what should be done, especially in summer, because there is nunmal simply warm and in many cases, and many homes can not do anything. The pity is that you can not set the temperature ranges, but only fixed values are programmed.
In addition to this nightlight the parent still has a flashlight. The I like really, really good. She makes enough light to look around, even to light up to the child, but is not really bright or garish but also rather decent. The you can really use it properly well.
Otherwise, you can still configure a Fütteralarm. But of course you can also simply in doubt take his cell phone, but it does, depending on the child already sense there to look at a clock. After feed demand is always a bit tricky. When did the child hungry? If it cries? I have not slept as a child, according to my mother, and always screamed and then always had a bottle in the neck. Somehow, I was a very fat child until the pediatrician then times meant that the child may have no hunger but children cry easily, and it is enough if you feed it only every three to four hours. But well, that really does not belong here, that must ultimately everyone know yourself and check with his doctor. But the phone has a feature that can be but in my opinion, simply replace the handset.
Conclusion:
That was an overview of all key functions of baby monitors. Who wants to just give it your own impression should Just have a look into the video. I know of no other baby monitors and have therefore no comparisons (except for Belkin Baby 250, which is a scaled-down version of this Phones).
Whether the features all need everybody has to decide for himself. The only thing I still miss is a video function, so I not only hear if the baby is active, but also directly see what's going on. There is this function when Belkin Baby Video.
This phone is but all in all very round and doing what it should. The extras (lullaby, night light, stars, etc) I personally find very cute, but who thinks that he does not need it can easily set acuh a cheaper model. Affordable in this case not worse but just fewer features means.
If ye At length the Belkin Baby Pacifier I wish you much fun with it and hope that you will use it and have little need many quiet nights :)
