Philips AVENT SCD570 DECT

The monitor is great for letting me know when my baby is crying, but it doesn't have an easy way to "listen in". I thought the monitor would give me a continuous feed, but this is not true. It only activates when it detects a loud enough noise, or when the volume buttons are pushed. I therefore find myself adjusting the volume a lot to "check in" on my little one. Otherwise it seems to work well and has a great range around my house (around 2500 as ft, AND it worked for a distance outside when I went to check the mail, take out garbage cans, etx).*disclaimer:they wanted me to add that I was motivated to write this review from an email, and received a promo code for a future producg.

For full disclosure, please note that I received this product as a free sample in exchange for agreeing to write this review.I really love this monitor. First, it is crystal clear, and I have no problems either hearing the baby or the baby hearing me. It must be that DECT Technology. I also love the fact that it uses an encrypted connection, so I don't have to worry about any possible intruders listening in. Not only that, but this monitor doubles as a nightlight, and it even soothes the baby to sleep with lullabies. Highly recommended.

Hij doet wat hij moet doen, Duidelijke hoorbaar wanneer ons kleintje wakker is en ook het nachtlampje is niet te fel maar precies goed. Hij is makkelijk in gebruik!

Het bereik is enorm goed. Onze vorige babyfoon stoorde vaak en verloor bereik als we even naar buiten wilden. Deze is zeer gevoelig, pikt elk klein geluidje op en heeft een ver bereik. Dit is voor ons heel belangrijk. De muziekjes die je zowel op de basis als op de draadloze ontvanger aan kan doen vind ik ook erg fijn. Ze duren lang genoeg zodat onze kleine in slaap valt met de muziek op de achtergrond. Het ook zeer prettig dat de temperatuur aangegeven wordt in de babykamer.Een mooi product, zowel qua gebruik als qua uitstraling.

I bought this unit back in 2018 and one year later it wouldn’t hold a charge. My sister has the same one so I took her fully charged battery and put it into my parent unit and it still said “low battery”. So I contacted customer service twice with no response. I never took it off the base and used it that way for months. Now I am able to have it off the base for 1-2 hours at a time but it will often sound glitchy (video attached). Also it randomly turns off if not on the base. Super frustrating since it was $100+.
