Philips Baby Monitor With Clean And Clear Sound

By G L Harris

It’s easy to feel a bit paranoid about raising a baby nowadays, with all the horrific crime stories in the news and tales of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. For added peace of mind, many parents find that having an infant monitor puts them at ease, while also giving them a break from constantly wearing the "mom" and "dad" hats.

Of course, making up your mind to buy a digital baby monitor is the easy part. The hard part is selecting the right one for your family, considering that they range in price from $20 to $200, with varying functions and features. One of the top-rated products on the market is the Philips baby monitor.

Interference On Low End Baby Monitors

One of the problems with some of the low-end monitors, like the Fisher-Price baby monitor, for instance, is interference. These monitors can pick up everything from cars and police sirens to cordless phone conversations and radio broadcasts.

If that’s not bad enough, the static that comes through can make it really hard to discern your baby’s voice out of the chaos. Additionally, neighbors with the same baby monitor brand may even be able to hear your baby too!

Secure Encrypted Connections With Crystal Clear Sound

The Philips monitor is known as the first DECT baby monitor (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications), which ensures crystal-clear quality. There are over 60 secure channels that the monitor can tap into, unlike more primitive systems that just have one or two. Like other digital baby monitors (compared to analog), the Philips baby monitors have secure, encrypted connections so no one else can listen in.

Another special feature of the Philips baby monitor is the ability to remotely check the conditions of your baby’s room. You can look at the temperature, as well as the humidity of the room to ensure optimal comfort.

Press A Button For The Lullabies To Help Your Baby Sleep

You can even program the unit to sound an alarm if the room gets too hot or too cold. If you hear your baby is having trouble falling asleep, the DECT baby monitor can also cue up five soothing, 30-second lullabies when you press a button on your handheld unit or turn on a little night-light to let your baby know everything is okay.

There have been a few complaints about the Philips baby monitor on baby monitor reviews sites. One customer mentioned she finds the price tag expensive for a baby monitor system that only has one parental unit, not two. Several others have complained that the night-light feature is "totally useless" and that the volume is way too low, so you will only hear your baby once he or she is screaming.

However, the most common complaint is with the battery charger. Not only is the battery life only about two hours, but there have been many reports of dysfunctional cradles that do not charge, of rechargeable batteries that fried and even of melted batteries! Most of these customers paid the full $200 and said they felt royally gypped.
