Philips AVENT DECT SCD 501
General
The Philips AVENT DECT SCD 501 has good technology that transmits clear sound and is even tap-proof. Sounds are not only reproduced with clear sound, but are also indicated with the visual noise level indicator.
Thanks to the Smart Eco Mode, the Philips baby monitor is particularly energy-saving and reduces radiation at the same time.
Range
Outdoors, the Philips AVENT DECT SCD 501 has a range of up to 300 meters. However, as with all baby monitors, the range changes depending on the environment. Indoors, you can therefore expect a range of up to 50 meters. The device emits a warning signal when the range is exceeded.
Power Supply
The parent unit of the baby monitor can be operated either with batteries (type 1.5 V R6 AA) or with mains power. The baby unit can only be operated with mains power. Thanks to the Smart Eco mode, the AVENT DECT SCD 501 has an operating time of up to 24 hours even on battery power. A warning tone sounds in good time when the battery is low.
Noise Level Display
Thanks to the noise level indicator, you can mute the parent unit with peace of mind. Noises are then indicated by light bars. The more light bars on the parent unit light up, the more sounds the baby unit perceives.
Night Light
The integrated night light adjusts the brightness to the baby’s needs and helps him sleep more peacefully. It also helps the baby to get used to the day-night rhythm, so that in the long term it is supported in developing a normal sleep rhythm.
