The Philips SCD 600 we use for 2 years and are very satisfied, except for the bad coverage / susceptibility to interference with active WLAN.
The Belkin has all the features of Philips except for the absence of the possibility that sleep music at parent turn on / off. This function we have, however, rarely used, as the music so to help falling asleep (ie can be switched on at the baby unit) and then goes out by itself after a certain time (in the case Belkin).
The image quality is reliable by all 4 babyphones the Belkin best (daylight and infrared), the switchover at twilight works with us.
The function to switch off the monitor and turning on only when noises works only if it's on the menu and the micro perceives no noise on the baby unit (off). Then you press for about 3 seconds, the "View" button and the screen turns off. Now he is only noises the baby again! (Works just like the Vox feature of Philips)
The sensitivity should be set to 4, because then the baby monitor goes reliably even with smaller sighs, at the highest setting (5) the microphone is on permanently and not recommended (Vox feature of the monitor will not work.
The thermometer is reliable and not as the Alecto, then where was the camera in warm conditions and the thermometer rising temperature (28 ° C) indicated due to the operating temperature of the baby unit ...
And now the most important thing: The camera of the baby unit is definitely tilted, they may tend in the housing up to 90 ° downwards! Thus putting up on a table or Wickelkomode is possible next to the bed with no problems! You need not have a tripod, etc.
Worth mentioning are also:
- TOP image quality !!! (Day and night vision)
- Reliable signal transfer and low interference (with us in a single-family house 180m² with basement and garden, 2 floors no problem)
- Zoom with Scroll option
- The well-structured, easy to use menu (German adjustable)
- The intercom function
- Good workmanship
- Beautiful lullabies in pleasant low volume (adjustable)
- Temperature of the baby unit with alarm at too low or high temperature, temperature range adjustable alarm can be switched off
- The possibility of connecting further 3 cameras
To operate in battery parent possibility the baby unit with batteries -
Negative to mention:
- Lack of function, lullabies on the parent unit on / off
- State of the parent unit is not as stable and inclination of parents - monitor the state
- Small directional pad for operating the menu functions / zoom-scrolling (not for thick hands)
Summary:
All in all we give a strong buy recommendation for the Belkin Baby 1000 Video baby monitor! The Belkin earned compared to the OA babyphones despite a few small negative points full 5 stars.
