Philips Avent Premium Connected Baby Monitor, Smart Baby Monitor with App, 1080p Camera, SenseIQ Sleep & Breathing Motion Tracking, Cry Detection & Translation, Two-Way Audio, Night Vision, SCD973/37

This baby monitor is absolutely amazing!! Best purchase for baby we have made! However the cry translation feature is inaccurate and don’t find it useful, actually a bit annoying. It was incredibly easy to setup, I love the fact that it comes with a mount for the crib. The main feature that sold me was the breathing indicator. My son sleeps like a rock at night and if it wasn’t for the breathing monitor, I would be checking on him every 5-10 minutes because he doesn’t move. It’s really nice to have that reassurance to calm my mom anxiety. The camera and audio quality are top notch too. I highly highly highly recommend this baby monitor! Yes it’s very expensive but well worth it.

I upgraded to this camera from a different model, and I’m really impressed. One key feature that I haven’t seen many people mention is the cry detection—it can distinguish between a baby’s cry and other noises, so you’re not constantly getting unnecessary alerts. Our previous camera would go off every time a loud car passed by, which was frustrating. So far, the battery life has been excellent. It was very easy to set up, and it works seamlessly with both the included monitor and our phones. The picture quality is outstanding, including the night vision, which is clear and reliable. Absolutely worth every penny!

I’m thrilled with the Philips Avent Premium Connected Baby Monitor! It has exceeded my expectations in every way, making it an essential tool for monitoring my baby’s safety and comfort. The 1080p camera provides crystal-clear video quality, even in night mode, ensuring I can always keep an eye on my little one, regardless of lighting conditions. The SenseIQ technology is a game-changer—it tracks sleep and breathing rates seamlessly, providing peace of mind while letting me monitor my baby’s well-being in real time. The cry detection and translation feature is incredibly accurate and helpful. It not only alerts me when my baby needs attention but also provides insights into why they might be crying. The two-way talk function is clear and responsive, allowing me to comfort my baby from another room without delay. Setup was straightforward, and the companion app is intuitive and reliable. It integrates perfectly with the monitor, giving me complete control and visibility, even when I’m not at home. Overall, the Philips Avent Premium Connected Baby Monitor is worth every penny for the features and quality it offers. If you're looking for a dependable, feature-packed baby monitor, I highly recommend this one!

This camera and monitor system has excellent picture quality and a sturdy mount that works well with a Snoo. However, its smart features are lacking, especially when used with a Snoo. As a new parent and someone interested in tech, I was particularly drawn to the cry translation, breathing rate tracking, and sleep tracking, but unfortunately, none of these features work reliably. The cry translation feature is essentially useless. I have no trust in the translations, and the volume of notifications became overwhelming. I quickly turned it off. The breathing rate tracking is equally disappointing. It consistently reports the same number, which makes me suspect the Snoo's movement interferes with its accuracy. It's also important to note that this feature doesn't send breathing rate notifications. Finally, the sleep tracking is inaccurate due to the Snoo. It constantly registers my baby as awake, likely due to the Snoo's motion. In short, while the camera and monitor themselves are good, the advertised smart features are ineffective and don't deliver on their promises, especially for Snoo users. I got this for a good price on sale and it was worth it as a baby monitor, but would not pay full price for it.

Im so obsessed with this baby monitor. It truly has everything we wanted and isn't nearly as pricey as some of the large competitors. We wanted the ability to have both a physical monitor as well as app capabilities, check. We wanted a monitor that would detect heart rate and breathing without extra accessories, check. We wanted user friendly, check. We wanted sleep tracking, check. It also has a built in nightlight and can play white noise or music. It even has cry detection AND translation. WHATT?? We have never had any connection issues with it and the setup with SO simple. So simple, in fact, that when we went out of town when baby was 3 months old, we even brought the monitor with us. Clipped it onto the bassinet, connected it to the wifi and we were good to go. Beautiful. I truly only have nitpick things I would have loved: I wish that once you get a sound, movement, or cry notification that it would start recording. Almost the way a Ring doorbell does. But again, that's a nitpick. Also, if baby fusses and I pick her up, I can no longer have access to any of the info on the SenseIQ, which is frustrating sometimes. Overall, I truly cannot recommend this monitor more highly. I can't imagine why someone would spend way more on the competitors monitors when this is out there.

This baby monitor has some good features, but it didn’t fully meet my expectations. The alert feature didn’t work as intended, which was frustrating since it didn’t wake us up in the middle of the night when needed. I also didn’t like that it doesn’t rotate mechanically, limiting the view. The video quality could be better, and overall, the build feels cheaper than expected for the price. ✅ Pros: ✔ Easy to set up ✔ Reliable connection ✔ Good battery life ❌ Cons: ❌ Alert feature isn’t reliable ❌ No mechanical rotation ❌ Video quality could be better ❌ Feels a bit cheap It’s an okay monitor, but for the price, I expected better performance. Might work for some, but I’ll be looking for a more reliable option instead.

High price but good quality and easy to use

Works good as far as picture quality and a way to monitor your baby also it does detect your baby’s cry as well as movements and it does notify you but I was hoping that as far as monitoring your babies breathing and alerting you instantly if something happens that it would notify you but it doesn’t so I was super disappointed cause honestly that was the main reason I purchased it. For that peace of mind and first and foremost safety for my child but not only did I pay a super high price for this but it’s nothing like I expected or hoped it would be.. My first choice was the Owlet Dream sock its amazing and does all of those things and more well worth the price. I had one for my last baby but due to my new babies complications she wasn’t able to wear anything on her feet so we tried to look for something else that would work just as good but without being on her foot so we went with this one instead but honestly it was just a waste of money and time so now I’m gonna have to try something else…
