The PHILIPS AVENT SCD 505/00 in everyday life test:
=====================================
Contrary to the otherwise advice we are very satisfied with the baby monitor. Usual, we are already on the DECT technology. Our first baby monitor had this not and we heard everything except our child !!! The sound transmission does background noise even at the PHILIPS AVENT SCD 505.
The Baby unit has a night light feature that we really use. Our smallest like the moon. No idea why. She is happy now every time we turn on the moon. It lit the room enough, without being too bright. The Philips AVENT DECT Baby Monitor SCD 479 (our predecessor) on the other hand had a too dark adjusted nightlight. Here you can see the 3 night songs once only on the baby unit and exhibit. Because I would have liked to be able to do this also on the parent unit.
The Baby unit has to be a further development also the possibility to charge batteries and run on battery power. The baby unit is to be installed in habitually about 1 1.5 m reach of the bed.
On the parent unit you can adjust the sound sensitivity and the volume transfer. We chose a medium noise sensitivity, otherwise we would have heard turns around our daughter, so sensitive to noise, it can be adjusted!
On the parent unit, there are 2 control systems:
Battery level indicator (when the battery has almost emptied, there is both an audible and visual warning)
System indicator (when the parent unit is moved out of range of the baby unit, there is also an audible and visual warning)
Even when PHILIPS AVENT SCD 505 there is an intercom function on the parent unit. One can then talk to the child. We do not create our daughter only to calm so. We need every time she cries, even going into the nursery, so she also sees us.
Summary:
=======
The price of about 60 euros really means is very good value for money !!! 3 years ago these things were still significantly more expensive! Positive is the range, the Intercom function to count the right place for our daughter bright night light. In addition, a battery charging function on the baby and the parent unit. The sound sensitivity is excellent. We hear it when turning our daughter when we want it. However, as precisely we do not have at night to know what makes our daughter, so we hired a medium sensitivity.
Unfortunately, you can use the night songs only on the baby unit. Pity!
That's why I prefer from a point and still speak of a clear buy recommendation!
