(More customer reviews)My wife and I love this monitor.We have replaced a Summer Infant Day & Night Baby Video Monitor with 5" Screen - White with Philips Avent.The sound and picture are great, and there is no interference like we had with Summer.Both day and night video feeds are very clear, and the design of the baby and that parent units is clean and modern.
There are some nice features like night lights on the baby unit, and the ability to have baby unit start playing lullabies by pressing a button on the parent unit the.The parent unit can be set to turn the screen off automatically to save battery unless the baby starts making sounds.The camera is not fixed to the camera stand, but held by a magnet, so it can be easily adjusted in any direction, and it can be used without the AC adapter with AAA batteries.Philips manual tells you not to use rechargeable batteries because the baby unit does not have a charging function, but I do not see why one could not use low self-discharge AAAs like Eneloops.
This baby monitor is covered by Philips's Full 2-year Warranty, which I found pleasantly surprising because a couple of the Philips DVD players I own were only warranteed for 90 days and I expected the warranty to be no longer than a year.I noticed just two minor issues that may not even be a problem for others.
1. For my setup, positioning the camera was a little difficult.We like to see the whole crib from above, so the camera needed to be setup on the shelf above and to the left of the crib.The way the Philips camera and stand are designed, I had to put a wedge under the back of the camera stand so that the camera points where I need it to point.I could not simply rotate the camera down far enough because then the lens would be covered by the stand (see pictures).I did not have this problem with the Summer's camera design.
2. The night vision infrared lights on the baby unit glow red.They are low intensity, but still visible and distracting.The Summer baby monitor also had night vision, but the night vision LEDs did not emit any visible spectrum light.
While reading reviews for other baby monitors, I noticed low ratings because of interference.The performance of the monitor will depend on how "polluted" the frequency band on which it operates at your location.For example, we have absolutely no problems with the interference with this Philips Avent Baby Monitor even though my wireless (b/g) router is located in the same room as the parent unit.However, we did have some interference issues with the Summer baby monitor although baby and parent units were located in the same spots where Philips is now.At the same time, Summer baby monitor worked without any interference when we took the parent unit to the kitchen.The point is that you won't know unless you try.
If you are looking for a baby monitor, I recommend that you consider Philips Avent Baby Monitor.
