Philips Avent SCD603 / 00 Digital Baby Monitor with video function (Baby Product)

Customer Review

We have been looking for a good video surveillance option for our baby and ultimately ended up in the Philips Avent SCD603.

The camera unit can be positioned or mounted on the wall. The camera head is sufficiently adjustable, so that everyone should find the right position for the monitoring of the baby bed. The integrated nightlight is mMn unnecessary because the camera needs to be installed in line of sight to the baby and who wants to constantly hide his baby with a lamp. A night light is actually mounted on the side of the bed or on the door. Well, it's off and you have to not turn.

The parent unit is handy, but the display is very small. The product photo is a sham because the real image quality is much worse than shown. One can during the day and even in absolute darkness recognize all adequate, but good image quality is not. The image quality of the Medisana Smart Baby Monitor, for example, is much more detailed.
A big advantage of the device is the high noise-sensitivity. Once the baby is a peep from him, the monitor comes on. Very soothing for anxious parents. If the baby after a few seconds is silent, the monitor switches off again automatically. But you can also turn on a permanent transfer of the image. This automatic switching in activity of the baby is a big advantage over devices with image transmission to the smartphone or tablet (such as Medisana Smart Baby Monitor). You always have the good feeling that you will not miss anything.

A nice gimmick is the start of lullabies on the parent unit. The camera unit can play 3 different melodies.

The signal strength of the parent unit leaves something to be desired. A floor unlike the camera unit, it may be just, but also because you get even temporarily messages from disconnection on the display. Then usually helps a little more favorable formation of the parent unit. Here I would have liked a stronger transmission power.

The battery life of the parent unit is not particularly good. The battery lasts only a few hours, so the unit comes at night to the bedside to the mains cable. The 2-3 hour nap and the 3 hour evening before parents go to bed, it creates with its battery.

An intercom function would have been desirable. Although that certainly would be to hear the voice of the parents of a speaker, without seeing them real in the room a little scary for the baby.

All in all, the device is still recommended. A perfect device does not exist on the market, unfortunately.
