Philips AventDECT baby monitor

Being Social Security age, we did not need a baby monitor - but my wife expressed missing the wonderful sound of our pond's waterfall. Phillips SDC510 to the rescue ! About 10 feet from the waterfall, I sheltered the "baby" unit to protect it from water and sunlight. For the past couple of years this has let us sleep "next" to our pond/waterfall - what a relaxing and peaceful sound. In the mornings the birds chorus their wakeup calls. We've even heard the nearby fox mother call her pups back to the den.

My 2-1/2 year old flushed the receiver! The next morning we heard it beeping (low battery) inside the toilet. Plumber came and removed toilet to get it out from underneath. Despite 18 hours or so stuck in the toilet trap in water, the unit still works fine! That's impressive.

We have 5 of these units which we use for elderly care in our home and grand-baby visits. We tried a couple of other products which had noise suppression issues. We got our first 2 about 5 years ago and really like them for their compact design, reception distance and sound. They really solved the noise issue. Set at full volume and it has no noise (electro-static). That is huge when sleeping at night. It's nice when you can use them as a intercom as well. The only issue we had was after a year or two they loose there receptivity and it is hit and miss on the reception with constant alarm beeps when it would loose it's connectivity. We finally called tech support and found out they had to be reset. They walked us through the resetting steps, which is not a big deal, and they are like new again. We gave the "ease of use" a 4 star for that reason. For the price range they are tops as far as we are concerned.

The product is excellent and works as designed. Range and clarity is a huge plus on this particular unit. The only minor drawback is the battery life and sometimes having the need to re-charge the unit at inopportune moments. However, that is easily overlooked by product's strengths. Philips support for this product is unparalleled. After 2 years of usage, we had problems with the unit sync'ing up - without any questions, a new unit was shipped to our door for swap. Great customer service!!

We had this product for several month when it stopped working and when we called Philips to replace it they were extremely helpful. The product is excellent, with zero noise interference and crystal clear reception. I would recommend it!

Simply Fantastic- Excellent product- great range, battery life and clarity.

First monitor that was recommended and we love it! Needed something without interference due to living In an apartment. It works great- have had it for 8 months now. One of the cord adapters went bad within a month, but Called Phillips and got a no charge within days!!! Wonderful customer service!

LOVE this monitor. We bought a second, cheaper monitor with a video feature for our second child and it has lots of background noise and has a short in the receiver so it sometimes cuts out.

Use it for staying in touch with my bedridden wife when I am in another room of the house or in the yard. This means of knowing when my wife needs assistance is a very important secure feeling for me. I just wish I had discovered the exxistance of this type of monitor many years ago.

I love this monitor and I love dealing with Philips! We have had tho monitor for 17 months now. It's the best monitor without a camera. I can hear my daughter breathing and moving about. Our original model stopped working at about a year. We called Philips and had a hassle free replacement sent to our home within a few days!!! It was great! I am back to hearing everything and sleeping better at night!
