Review: Baby Monitor to the Rescue... - We went through I don't know... 4 or 5 baby monitors before finding this one. At this point, I don't know if you're going to get a perfect product but for us this one is darn near close. A little background: We had twin boys in December of 2014 -- they were premmie and if you've ever dealt with a premmie you know you're not doing a lot of sleeping... partially because you're scared to death they're going to stop breathing at any moment(but usually while you're trying to sleep) and partially because they're noisy little suckers -- it's like tending to baby goats. We had an additional problem in that the range of the video monitor that we used with our daughter would not reach to our bedroom so we had to come up with another solution. We finally settled on, after much discussion about Russians watching our babies sleep(conclusion, who cares) a Dropcam(now Nest) coupled with an audio monitor might work -- I bought the Safety 1st Baby monitor which worked most of the time, but it also sent over a lot of static and if you left it on too long it would freak out -- it finally broke after a year(it's a good thing because I had developed a strong hate for it) We then tried several more, most of them did not work because of range -- the ones that did were noisier than our baby goats-- The Philips Avent DECT baby monitor was the hail mary toss in baby monitors -- turns out it had no problem with the range AND the big winner is.. if there's no noise, it doesn't make any noise -- AHHHHH, at least for some of the night I now have peace and quiet instead of listening to their rain machine and static all night long -- it has a built in noise gate, which is triggered when ambient noise rises beyond a certain point and it's quite sensitive. We actually place the monitor outside of their door. The first few nights of using it, I was afraid it would not respond if the babies make noise, but it does... every time...I sat there with dropcam(which has a slight delay) and the monitor one night and it didn't miss one baby sound-- I completely trust it now and our quality of sleep has improved dramatically -- I highly recommend this monitor-- Oh and it works with 220v as well, we took it to Germany, yeah ...twin babies in Germany, I don't know what we were thinking....
Review: Very good quality baby monitor - This monitor does a great job. The baby room unit is wired to the power outlet. The remote unit can be run by batteries or by a power cord. We use ours with 2x desertcart-branded rechargeable AA batteries. It requires two AA batteries. The unit will NOT recharge your batteries for you, even if you plug it in. You'll need to use a standard battery charger to recharge the batteries, if you're using rechargeables. It doesn't come with batteries, so you'll need to supply your own. Important Note: it will sound like it's cutting out once in a while, or often. It isn't. It tries to save battery power by only transmitting sound when there's something to send. If the room is very quiet, it won't send any audio at all. If you have a fan running in the background, you'll sometimes hear it and sometimes you won't. This is NOT a problem. It will transmit audio EVERY TIME your baby is making noise. We're in a neighborhood with a lot of WiFi traffic, but not a lot of houses. We have had no noticed interference issues with this monitor set. Also, supposedly the audio is encrypted. This was a requirement for us. I don't notice any lag in audio, though it does take about three seconds for the units to negotiate a conversation before audio starts streaming. These provide only one-way audio. The remote unit does not have any means of sending audio to the baby room unit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I was thinking about using this in my barn so that I can hear my horses. My barn is about 200ft away from my house. Do you think it will work outside?**
A: It says it works up to 300 ft. I've used it on my deck, but the distance is only about 75 feet.

**Q: are both the parent and baby unit cordless or just the parent unit?**
A: Only the parent unit is cordless.  Also, you cannot talk through the parent unit to the baby unit like you can with other models.  We have a second older Philips model that allows this and use that feature on occasion to talk to my spouse when in the baby room.

**Q: What frequency does this run on? i need it to be ce approved for use in germany. also is it fcc approved so i can use in the us when we move back.**
A: The monitor works on DECT frequency (1880MHz-1900MHz).

**Q: What is the voltage/ power input of the unit?**
A: The power input is 120v/220v-240v.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable High quality audio monitor!
*by T***S on May 31, 2019*

We use this excellent audio wireless monitor as a security device, allowing us to monitor at night a 50 foot radius area near our home back doors and garage door. We can literally hear footfalls on the gravel near the doors! Sound quality is excellent and the volume controls simple to use. We have not tested the battery charge time as we rarely unplug it from it's 120v power adapter. The ambient sound cancelling/silencing feature seems very reliable. We awaken each morning to the sound of Doves "Coo-cooing" each morning (unfortunately well before sunrise!). Would definitely buy again & highly recommend.
