I'm saving it to me at this point the technical specifications of the Avent baby monitors, which all can be found above in the product description. Rather, it should here be about what each feature so you can and if you really need.
We have to compare a NUK Eco Control +, so a baby monitor with the similar price range.
Style:
This makes Philips simply beautiful, a bit Iphone optics between all the baby paraphernalia.
The parent unit is comfortable to hold, even in size and weight, it is quite similar to the Iphone. Already to fit in your pocket, but it is not. In the skinny jeans
But Philips has also thought along and cultivated a solid clip. Great feature: the clip can be turned and is to stand!
The video device reminds me a little of a webcam. With supplied anchors it can be mounted on the wall, but also nice is stable on the foot, in a night light is integrated. More on that later.
First In-Shutdown:
Quite simple really: battery in the parent unit charge, video equipment to power and go with the all-round monitoring.
The video device you can insert zusäztlich batteries that in the event of a power outage, you can still keep the young in mind.
Philips points out that several charging cycles of the battery on the parent unit needs to bring full power. With us, he has also held a whole night after the first loading.
The devices connect automatically. We had the NUK run parallel and could imagine no interference. Nevertheless, Philips in the operating manual indicated that electrical appliances such as microwave ovens, which operate in a specific frequency range, could interfere with reception.
Operation:
That's not quite as nice self-explanatory, there was a look at the manual needed:
The parent unit has a plurality of keys located on the side that have not opened up for me at first glance. Therefore briefly looked in the manual. Unfortunately, this is not in paper form, but only as a CD-Rom to be able to so I had to start your computer to use the baby monitor. I found inconvenient, also wenns is better for the environment.
After a short future reference, all functions can be called up easily: continuous operation, "Eco mode", lullabies and nightlight.
Features:
Video surveillance:
You can choose whether the baby monitor is intended to provide a permanent transfer from the nursery, or only starts when baby begins to riot. The latter saves immensely battery performance and allows a quiet sleep, because the screen is completely dark and you can rely on it that it starts at the slightest noise and transfers.
The image is razor sharp, even in infrared mode.
The camera needs a certain distance from the bed to provide an overview to have, so ca 90cm would be good. Otherwise unfortunately you can only see a small section of the bed. This can occur when a small child in a large bed cause one hears what baby drives, but it does not see, because baby has gekullert in the dead angle of the camera.
The camera is mounted on a ball joint on the base plate, so that you can rotate and angle the camera freely.
Lullabies:
Can be played via the Parent Unit. Nice songs, volume can be regulated. I do not need, we have a music box.
Night light:
The night light is located on the camera. It gives a very gentle, warm orange-yellow light. Since the light on the camera, and the camera should be directed to the bed, the night light shines directly into bed. Our baby has the first night less sleep than usual, because baby has been busy trying to look at the light (we otherwise an indirect night light). On the second night but that was then done.
Coverage:
150m outdoors, 50m in enclosed space that is in practice: Baby sleeping on the first floor, in the basement you can still monitor well, and also to the end of the garden there is sufficient up to the neighbors not. This depends certainly on the construction. Who is not sure, it should try, because the telecommunications Selling Act Hurrah and the exchange privilege associated.
Conclusion:
The Avent is a good video baby monitor, with sharp image in a chic design. For this was on the saved one or the other technical detail, whether useful or not depends on the individual needs. This makes it a baby monitor what is reduced to the essential functions and that makes very good. Who needs more, such as Zoom, temperature display, intercom function or vibration alert should look for another baby monitors in a similar price range.
