Eco mode is awesome

I really like this monitor because it doesn't need to use the WiFi for connection and it's very private and secure. I like that you can adjust the viewing angle of the baby camera and the baby monitor is portable and runs on its own battery. The baby monitor is 3.5 inches color screen with a 2x zoom capability. It has very good quality picture and it doesn't lag— provides quick feedback. If I wanted to, I am able to am able to talk to the baby through the monitor, able to play lullabies, provide a night light and also monitors room temperature. There are also different modes you can use while monitoring baby such as video, audio, vox and eco mode. My favorite is the eco mode because it saves energy by reducing power use by switching off the audio and video and turns on as soon as baby makes a noise. The only reason why I gave this produce a 4/5 rating is because the camera for the baby is not portable so if you lose power, there will be no video link of baby until the power is restored. I had a black out occur and I didn't get to video monitor my baby until the power came back on. But overall, I really like this baby monitor. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this baby video monitor.

Very Clear

We loved the Philips Avent digital video monitor and we're pretty surprised at just how easy it was to set up the monitor. With a busy 1 year old and 4 year old , we desperately needed to get a monitor in their room in order to avoid getting up in the middle of the night to double check on them. I really like discreet the monitor is which doesn't distract my kiddos or tempt them to go touching it. The actual monitor was very easy to set up and use as well. I'm not super technologically savvy , so that was a plus for me. Although we haven't exactly used the Eco mode , I'm glad that there is an option. Surprisingly the monitor display is very clear and even when listening , I can clearly hear the kids on the monitor and know exactly when I need to step in. The monitor has a light which illuminates the room but not to the point where it bothers the kids while they are asleep. I really love the music capability so that I don't have to keep YouTube lullabies on the tv all night :-). My babes really like sleeping with light music so it's perfect for them. Thanks again to weeSpring Parent Panel for this awesome monitor. Looking forward to utilizing it for baby #3 who arrives in March !

Solid monitor

It's a great unit for the price. Easy to set up. Charge lasts a long time. I take care of my mom with mild dementia. if she calls out to me, I can hear and see her without a problem. It even works when I'm downstairs and into the garage! Color is not as vibrant and not crystal clear like more expensive ones, but like I said before works great for the price and I don't have to drain my phone battery with wifi ones.

Easy to use, and portable for travel.

The Philips Avent baby monitor is by far the easiest monitor to set-up, and fairly easy to use. I used it in my child's bedroom and set it up on the dresser in order to get a direct view into her crib. I was impressed by how well I could see her, even in the dark. My favorite feature is although you know the monitor is on, you cannot see any bright lights or any signals that it is on, therefore it doesn't interrupt my child's sleep (she likes it dark in her room). The ability to have the volume turned down low and still see the indicator that the baby is making noise has been a lifesaver. I particularly loved how it can be in any room of the house that I'm in, it has amazing range. The video part of the monitor is also easily moved. I have been able to take the monitor with me when we go to a friends house, or family members and love the ability to do so. Another great feature is that it doesn't require WiFi, which I also add as a safety feature I don't have to worry about anyone accessing the monitor through the WiFi. EcoMode was a great feature as it only picked up my daughters sounds when she was making a noise, therefore if I was napping as well I didn't pick up the background noise, only when my child would cry or wake up. While this monitor has many amazing qualities I wanted to point out that the instructions aren't particularly thorough and it was difficult to figure out how to use the music feature. After a couple of tries I was able to figure out how to do it but it would've been helpful if the instructions were a little more descriptive on this feature. I was happy to have received it as part of the WeeSpring Parent Panel, had I not I wouldn't have thought to look into this brand. Typically I think of Philips Avent in terms of bottles, however, I am so glad I was able to try this out because this was a winner for me and my family.

Great monitor for the price point

This monitor is a quality video monitor for the price point. We have 2 young kids (2.5yrs & 11 months) who share a room at night, but nap separately during the day. We use this as a 2nd monitor for the other room during nap. It has a clear picture, pretty clear sound & we enjoyed the ECO mode that only turns the screen on when they're crying or moving around. We could not use it as our primary monitor for their room, because the camera angle is not wide enough to see both beds & you can't change the camera angle remotely. We took it camping & found that it had an impressive range! We sat about 100 ft from the cabin at a campfire at night after the kids went to bed & never lost connection with the camera. The monitor was pretty easy to figure out. One of our favorite features (beside the range) was the temperature alert. It tells you when the room gets too hot or too cold & you can set the range yourself. I thought that was pretty cool. We received this monitor for free as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Monitor is fine, not great

I received this product complimentary as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. I was excited to try this monitor as it seemed like it had many cool features and was quickly underwhelmed. I was most excited to try the VOX mode, which is where the video feature turns on when noise is detected in the room. We run a fan in our child's room so even on the least sensitive setting the video stayed on the whole time in the VOX mode, which defeats the purpose. I tried using the ECO mode, I honestly have no idea what it does. I tested this monitor along side my current Motorola monitor and it did absolutely nothing the entire time it was in ECO mode. The directions provided in the packing were awful, they didn't give explanations of the modes, just showed pictures of how to plug it in. The video quality was much more grainy than my current monitor as well. In my opinion this is a very basic monitor that will get the job done without any real bells and whistles.

Battery problem

Do not waste your money!! Battery won't charge after a year of use. For the money I spent and the brand name I expected to use it for more than one kid.
