According to our baby monitor expert
The Alecto DBX-68 has a large range: indoors up to 150 meters and outdoors up to 1,000 meters. If you do move too far away, you'll get a signal when you're getting out of range. This way, you'll always be able to keep an eye on things. If you hear that your baby's a bit restless, you can use the two-way audio function. The programmed lullabies also help to restore the peace in the baby's room. The baby monitor also has a temperature function that monitors the temperature in the baby's room. You can easily read this information on the display.

I'm not a salesperson, just a critical user. This baby monitor absolutely passed the test. I had a wish: A baby monitor that works 4 houses away without any problems.
Modern new construction (where every home has its own concrete walls and underfloor heating on every floor) makes many baby monitors unusable.
I've been considering a PMR baby monitor (Altecto DBX-82/BDX-92) because of its analog technology. This uses a low frequency (446 Mhz) and is ideal for long distance, but PMR has less functionality and you have a chance that you will hear someone else on the same channel. (e.g. children's walkie-talkies)
This (DBX-68) digital baby monitor uses a low frequency (863-870 Mhz) which makes the long distance possible. Other digital techniques (such as DECT 1880-1900 Mhz) use higher frequencies, which means that the signal is less rich.
My experiences with the DBX-68: No awkward settings with channels. Channel selection fully automatic. The required transmission power is even regulated automatically.
Extra functionalities that contribute to the good experience: Night light on baby unit has a VOX mode. Light only comes on when the baby unit is transmitting. Handy as an indicator to test whether the baby unit is responding well.
If you briefly press the 'talk' button on the parent unit, the baby unit will activate and you can listen in on the baby unit side for 10 seconds. No loud clicks at all.
The parent unit displays the battery charge of the baby unit.
Practical experience: Baby unit placed on the 1st floor landing close to a window frame. Parent unit placed on the ground floor in the middle of the house (4 houses further). Signal: 3 of the 4 bars. 2x a signal alarm. After that, the baby monitor worked for an entire evening without any problems.
Good manual. Meets my wish. I am very satisfied.

No baby monitor has a range as far as this one. Except maybe the "walkie walkie" variant of Alecto, but we live close to the highway, so it was disturbing and noisy, that didn't help us!

Good product. What it should do for us. Only this one has touchscreen. So you can easily press the button for music or other buttons. You really don't want this when your baby is just sleeping. The connection between the two devices only works if they are close to each other . Which means you have to connect first before you can put the baby monitor upstairs (resulting in beeping too close together (baby wakes up quickly)
