Philips Avent Connected SCD953/26

A very good baby monitor. After much research and comparison, I finally chose this Philips Avent, and I don't regret it. The quality is excellent. It's a shame the monitor doesn't come with a charger and the range is a bit limited, but for everyday use, it's more than sufficient. All in all, I'm very happy with my choice.

Good reception and app for the phone

We have gone trough two of these devices. The experience is good in general, when it works. First, it can connect both directly between the screen and the camera, and can also connect trough wifi. Wifi connection is very helpful in a large house, garage, garden, cellar, you can go around, and if you have wifi coverage, it will still work. Also, you can connect trough the mobile phone. Also, multiple devices-cameras can be used to gether, which is very helpful to watch two children. The image is sharp, there is usual talk through, the camera has good night vision and dim night lights. It can also play a meldoy. The camera has no built-in battery, but we simply use it with a powerbank, and this way it can be use away from power outlets, too. The mobile phone app allows streaming the camera's picture to other mobile devices. In practice this less useful, as you need to either constantly unlock your phone, or it will drain your phone's battery. The device has two main issues, and due to these I recommend buying it only with a good warranty. First the connection between the camera and screen can suddenly break. To reconnect, one needs to factory reset both devices, and re-link them. But after a couple of months, even this (repeated) re-linking didn't help. The second issue is how fragile the screen is. One of our devices fell from the table when changing diapers, and the screen shattered to pieces. This is unusual for a baby monitor, this never happend to us with other brands.
