The high spectrum efficiency used in DECT assures you of magnificent sound quality that cannot be interfered by anything. The combination of TDMA/TDD used in building DECT make sure that sounds transmissions in the audio monitor system are extremely secure from unauthorized eavesdropping from third parties.

The volume control and visual sound level indicator are specially built to make sure that you can tell the difference between an emergency and a normal sound. It allows you to estimate the stress levels your baby is exposed to by simply looking at the visual sound indicator. This will sure help to curb anxiety from worrying too much about your baby, because you can at least tell when she is under stress. For example, you will be able to tell the difference between a chuckle and a cry from your baby so that you don’t always have to worry.

The device is equipped with 2 nickel metal hydride batteries with a 14 hours standby will allow you to connect with your child for fourteen hours in case of power failure. This will make sure you and your child are always linked in case of an unforeseen power outage. The nickel-metal hydride batteries are also rechargeable.

The device also has a low battery alert system that makes sure you know exactly when you need to recharge your batteries. To add on that, this device is equipped with an ECO mode to make sure it does not consume too much power when you plug it to your mains: is there a better way to check that electricity bill?

The 300 meters long-range provided lets you work around the house with assurance that you will be able to hear your baby when she needs you.
