Go for it if you...
You want a trusted-brand non-WiFi video monitor with the feed kept off the internet
You want a sound-activated eco mode to quiet the signal when the room is calm
You want a monitor that keeps working through a home internet outage
You do not want a monthly subscription
You want the lowest emission and no hacking risk above every other feature
You are comfortable listening to your baby rather than watching a video screen
You want a monitor that keeps working even when your home internet goes down
You never want to pay a monthly subscription to use what you bought
The main thing to know
This is the current, recall-clear model and not the older Philips video line that was recalled for a battery-burn hazard, so confirm the model before you buy secondhand.
This is an audio monitor with no camera, so if seeing your baby on a screen matters to you, this is not the one.
Skip this if you...
You want the sharpest possible HD picture
You specifically want a published, independent emission measurement
You cannot mount the camera at least three feet from the crib
You want to see your baby on a video screen
You specifically want a published, independent emission measurement
You want breathing or vitals tracking
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
