I've recently taken receipt of both this monitor and it's bigger brother - the Philips AVENT SCD520 DECT Baby Monitor. This review is a modified version of that review as the two items are very similar, hopefully the two reviews will help to detail the main differences between the two...This monitor doesn't have a screen, but it still does the primary job very well: The sound quality is very good and as with other digital baby monitors I've experienced, this suffers from very little interference. It's sensitive enough to pick up baby breathing - but you can turn it down if you find it too dominating a noise in the living room!I tend to have baby monitors turned turn down and rely more on the lights to alert me of any noise, and this Avent model manages that fine. This is a basic model and doesn't have the bells and whistles of many others out there. For example there are no `soothing lullabies', but that's not a massive loss - I'm not a big fan of polyphonic lullabies but during loud bouts of crying it does come in handy to have a lullaby cut through the noise to distract baby, and it does sometimes work, but nothing ever beats a cuddle!The nightlight is impressive - it's not bright but it isn't meant to illuminate the entire room! I've had baby monitors with nightlights before and they were piddly little ones, the Avent nightlight provides a nice comforting glow.All in all this is a great baby monitor which will serve its purpose well. It's quite basic by modern standards - but the main job of a baby monitor is to allow you to listen in and that is something which this unit excels at. You can still press a button to talk back to baby - very handy to provide a gentle "shush, shush, shussshhh" when required. I've given this the same four star ranking as the more advanced model, although it has less functions - you do pay less for the product.

Having recently destroyed our tried and tested Philips DECT baby monitor we had to get a new one. Our old Philips lasted for nearly 5 years and has been through two kids and has been easy to use and reliable.I expected a newer model to have improved features/performance. However, the Philips Avent SCD510 DECT range was a big disappointment. I'm not sure if this new version has less powerful transmitters/receivers than the old type, but the monitor had trouble keeping a signal in our house. When it loses it signal, the beeping alarm goes off and we would have to wonder around the house holding the monitor above our heads searching for a signal, followed by a gentle and prolonged walk back to our starting point! Yes, we do have an old house with thick walls, but the 5 year old monitor worked perfectly.I've had to send this back - it simply doesn't work unless you're in the next room. I thought the price was too good to be true for a DECT monitor!Summary: Might work in a newer house with thin walls but don't go near this if you have an older house/thicker walls.Build quality: ***Sound Quality: ***Battery: ****Range: *Features: ***

We have had 3 monitors before this one, the other 2 being BT monitors and a Tomy monitor. I would say this particular monitor trumps all of them in terms of crystal clear sound and zero interference.The other nice thing about this particular model is that the remote unit is relatively compact and light it also has a belt clip facility which is extremly handy when doing the chores around a large home. None of our other monitors have a simple but effective ability to carry around the home or outdoors. We tend to spend allot of time in the garden and having the ability to clip to your belt is very handy. The range of this unit is 330m, but we've tested this in our bricked garage and still the sound is crystal clear, very much like being in the same room as the baby.Our BT unit was good, but this unit trumps it in terms of crstal clear sound. Also, it guarantees zero interference, which I must admit is very reassuring, our BT unit sometimes had static when we used our panasonic phone, which was a bit annoying, this unit is flawless, we've not experienced any static noise. The base and remote unit can be used with batteries or the adaptor provided. This was very handy when on holiday. Our last place had really thick walls so mobile phone reception was bad and most of our friends monitor did not work due to the thick walls, but this unit worked a treat with clear sound even in the basement.The unit has a night light and you have the ability to talk back to the base unit, which helps reassure the baby when they hear your voice. It doesn't have the fancy temp/humidity. monitor etc, but we don't need this functionality.I cannot fault this baby monitor and I have relegated my BT monitor to it's box. If any parent is looking for crystal clear sound and zero intereference, then they look no futher as this is possibly the best monitor me and my wife have come across. It's flexible and discrete which is a added bonus in my view.Thorughly recommend this unit to any parent who is possibly undecided when it comes to choosing the right baby monitor.
