VTech DM221-2 Digital Audio Baby Monitor with 2 Parent Units, DECT 6.0, 1000ft Long Range, Talk Back Intercom, Vibrating Alert, Night Light, Rechargeable - White

This is a very simple system that I ordered for my parents house while my son was over there and I was working night shift. As my son got older it came back to my house and was used for nap time. The sound quality is good, they are very reliable. They plug into the wall but also have the backup batteries if needed. I will say the only thing I have ever noticed in the 5 years of use is when I lived in an apartment complex it somehow picked up on someone else’s monitor and I could hear inside their apartment. I just turned it off and back on and it was fine. It also has 2 listening units and if you keep them in close range it doesn’t mess anything up, for example me and my husband each have one on our bedside tables and it doesn’t affect anything. It’s a great monitor for older toddlers.

This monitor system has been a trouble-free worry-remover for me. I am using it to keep track of my husband's needs, as I care for the rest of our household, inside and out. He sleeps now in a first-floor room next to a bathroom and close to the kitchen. He gets IV nutrition for 12 hours a day and is tethered to his IV administration setup. Plus, he is weak from a month in the hospital, so he can't do a lot for himself. We have a Linksys EA3500 Router. (Sorry, That's all I know about the channel, frequency, whatever..) The monitor signal has to "cross" this signal and it has not caused any interference at all. The range is well capable of letting me get out in the garden or into the barn, or even across the street (through LOTS of power, cable and telephone lines.) Transmission and reception have been loud & clear at every distance. Though I haven't tried 1000', it is certainly completely adequate for our rambling old house and 5 acre yard and barns. I also like the fact that I talk to my husband from anywhere, to ask if he needs something, etc. Of course, I hear him if he calls out to me. NB Adults are noisier sleepers than babies, but I found that I quickly became accustomed to his "normal" nighttime noises. I quickly learned to recognize the ones I should get up for...like the IV pump bleeping, etc. So I get a pretty good night's sleep. As for the "Parent" batteries not lasting very long...I have found that to be true. They don't last very long...maybe 3-4 hours. But what I do is take the monitor in my bedroom in the morning as my portable monitor. Then, when it starts bleeping that the battery is going dead, I just exchange it with the monitor in our family room. If that unit's battery starts to go, I repeat the switch. Works fine, because you get plenty of notice that the battery needs recharging. Such peace of mind PS I forgot to post this review 2 months ago when I got these monitors. This week, one of the receivers started shutting itself off. What a nuisance, and unsafe, too, because I rely on them tp get me tom husband when he needs me! I will contact the manufacturer...and I will keep you posted.

My Mother had fallen at night in her bedroom and was unable to get up for quite a while. She was also unable to yell loudly enough for my father to hear her. He sleeps in another bedroom and does not wear his hearing aids at night. I was very concerned about that situation and started looking for something that would assist them to communicate with each other, even if my Mother was unable to reach a communication device. I first thought of walkie talkies, but realized that would require her carrying it with her and being able to push the button in order for him to hear her. Then I thought about baby monitors. When I started reading reviews on these, I saw a lot of other people were using them for elder care and safety. The base unit picks up sounds without effort on the part of the one needing that level of assistance. The "parent unit" or caregiver in this case received the sound without effort as well. Then the caregiver can use the parent unit as essentially a walkie talkie to talk through the base unit if needed or to go see what the issue is. Also with the 2 parent units, my Mother and Dad can use the two units during the day to communicate with each other as long as the base unit is left on in the bedroom. My father can go downstairs or in the study where he normally can't hear my Mother very well and she can keep the other parent unit on the table next to her and call him if she needs to communicate, and he can call her as well if he has a question while he is away from her. After the easy installation it is working perfectly for their needs! My parents didn't need the video unit, and the sound unit is perfect for their needs. Both of my parents feel more secure knowing they can easily contact each other in the house or even when one is outside. Both feel and are much more safe as they go about their lives. My siblings and I are very relieved that they are safely in their own home and able to communicate easily both day and night. This product is amazing and does exactly what we needed it to do. Sound can be adjusted and doesn't interfere with my fathers hearing aids, is clear and doesn't pick up a lot of residual noise. The batteries seem to be sufficient for their needs but they do plug then into the chargers when they are not carrying them with them. The two parent units have a built-in belt or waist band clip which allows them both to just wear them as they go about their day. These are truly a blessing to our family!

Perfeito para deficientes auditivos.

The monitor worked once and then stopped working. The 2 units don’t even come on despite charging them for hours

These are wicked. I have now used them for approximately 7 months. Originally we got a video monitor for our baby shower that hooks up to your phone, but these are so much better. Let me tell you why. These don't rely on your internet connection. They work even when thats down. They sync so easily and ive never had an issue. Not once. They stay charged pretty well. Honestly ours stay plugged in (one bedside, one in living room) but when we do have to take them to do random things, theyre great. Sound quality is phenomenal. Honestly I can hear the quietest whisper when its on 3 out of 5 volume bars. My only issue, and its a non-issue is that there is a little light to show its plugged in and the handle glows slightly. I covered it with electrical tape and the handle actually is very faint, I covered most of that with tape too actually. Anyway, I highly recommend. Will be using these for our next children if we have any. Im very happy with our purchase as I write this at 1:30am because the video monitor has cut out.... again.

Product is very good but unfortunately adaptors are not working in spite of keeping the adaptors

Chegou antes do esperado. Funciona perfeitamente. A função de comunicação em duas vias é ótima.
