Philips AventDECT baby monitor

I think the product is excellent but the lights on the monitor are very bright. It sits by our bed and when it flashes half the room is lit up. It would be good if you could add a dimmer to the lights. Also a simple option to see the readings (temp/humidity) without having to press a button that beeps. If i wake up and want to check the readings, I either need a flashlight, or I need to press one of the control buttons that make a very loud sound when pressed. It wakes up my wife and is very disruptive. Range is great, and audio quality is great. Thanks.

Really useful product. Now we can leave the baby sleeping in the room while we go about our chores. The lights display on the parent unit is very useful as it allows us to monitor the baby even when it's noisy.

Easy to setup. In fact just needed to plug it in and it does everything else. Very clear reception even when parent unit is upstairs and the receiver unit is downstairs in the kitchen. The visual cue on the loudness level (white bars on the top of the unit) helps in a noisy environment like the kitchen. Overall a very good and reliable system.

This product offers peace of mind with the monitor function that is easy to set up, use and act up.... the humidity and temperature alert means you don't miss a beat in keeping baby comfortable... which is often a guessing game with hot summer nights or cold winter evenings.

We used this monitor with our first child and are now using it for our 2nd child, almost 6 years later, and it is still going strong. The sound coverage has always been excellent and very clear. Battery lasts for ages too. The only thing that hasn't lasted so well is some of the pixels on the display screen are disappearing but the screen is still readable. The belt clip and neck strap are handy when walking around the house/garden and all the options are remote from the lightweight and compact parent handset. The one downside of this monitor for us is the lullabies dont play for very long and we have needed to constantly replayed them on occassion to help our kids sleep.

After three years of use my three year old decided to throw this monitor as she was having a tantrum and I realized that this monitor is the one thing I can't live without! I can be sitting ousted without a worry in the world as the range and sensitivity are excellent! The only thing is when I sent my monitor to get fixed it took them three weeks to get back to me just to tell me it can't be fixed although my unit is fully functioning! My baby's unit is the damaged one and I'm not sure if I should buy a new one or if I can find the baby device somewhere since the monitor discontinued everywhere.

I used it for 2 years and it works great! Excellent!

We originally had SCD499 and were extremely happy with it. Unfortunately parents unit stooped charging properly after almost 2y of constant usage so Philips replaced it for us with this one. This product is great. We have been so happy with the range and no interference at all. It works well trough very thick walls as well. Lula-byes have a bit of a "metal" sound to them but our daughter seamed to be happy with them. They also go on for a long time. Talk back function is great and so are the temperature and humidity sensors. We have been taking it everywhere we traveled as the bag that comes with it is very practical. If we were buying again I would definitely go for same Philips technology, possibly with a video monitoring as well this time, but as this one works perfectly well even after 3y we are more than happy to use it for baby No2 as well.

This replaced our older Philips baby monitor. This one has never let us down, holds a charge for days on the parent unit, and has never had any interferance from other products.
