Philips SBCSC475

We bought the Phillips monitor after our original monitor (a Tomy Walkabout Classic) just stopped working after a few months. We've found it very useful. Both the parent unit and the child unit let you know if the other unit is out of range, or turned off. (The parent unit beeps, the child unit's antenna turns red.) You can tune the sensitivity of the child unit so it doesn't bother transmitting sounds below a certain threshold - we find this very useful so we don't get woken by it if a plane turns overhead, or a car horn goes off. The volume control on the parent unit is very useful, too. The "talk back" function was ...  Read the complete review

We bought this monitor after two failed attempts with the reception on analogue monitors. Following searches on the internet, this seems to be the only true DECT monitor available. We have an old house which has always had problems with analogue portable telephones and, it now seems, baby monitors.

You also have the option ...  Read the complete review

It was about 200 euro. on the plus side you can hear every little sigh and cry, and its digital so no picking up nextdoors baby or other interference. on the minus side its meant to have a talkback facility wherby you can use the hand set to talk to baby. This worked on the first day and hasnt worked since. I dont know if I would use it that much anyway but I paid for it. The night light on the base is actually useful. Not just a fiddly detail, actually useful. The range is exellent (100m?). But on the whole a cheaper version would do the job just as ...  Read the complete review

Hi I've got tell the masses...!!! We bought this product 3 years ago, and was originally very pleased with quality of sound and use. Unfortunately, we found out that this monitor (and all DECT/Digital products) gave off a tremendous amount of radiation. In fact, the transmitter (ie: the part that's next to your baby's head) is equivelent to having a phone mast by his head...you work out the dangers. So analogue although 'crackly' is ...  Read the complete review
