There are a wide range of baby monitors available, including baby monitors that have added extras like music to soothe your baby. However, this Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature monitor is back-to-basics and is aimed at those that want a monitor that will simply monitor their baby, without sacrificing quality or essential features.
The Tommee Tippee monitor is easy to set up. It's simply a case of plug in and away you go. The different settings are clearly marked and is not taxing by any means.
Tommee Tippee Digital Monitor
The Tommee Tippee Digital Monitor is equipped with a 3 inch colour screen on the parental unit. The images are very clear and you can see exactly what is happening. However, after 20 seconds or so, the screen will switch itself off and come back to life as soon as anything is detected. I quite like this feature, as you don’t have to constantly view the screen to see if there is any change. There is also a two-way communication function so you can reassure your baby to make them feel safe through the sound of your voice. Another handy feature is the inclusion of a room thermometer, so you can keep a track of room temperature to ensure that it is neither too hot nor too cold.
Tommee Tippee Camera Unit
The camera unit (which is what you put in your baby's room) has an infrared night vision camera (with a zoom function too), and the lens can be adjusted to get the viewing angle just right for you. There is also a night light that can be controlled and adjusted to provide different levels of brightness.
I loved the fact that the unit only sends out noises to the monitor when there is actually a noise to broadcast. This means that it isn’t constantly broadcasting "white noise".
Sensor Pad
A movement sensor pad is also included, and which can be placed between the cot and the mattress. This allows you to monitor the baby's movement and breathing. If there is no movement detected for 20 seconds, then an alarm will sound on the parental unit to alert you to go check your baby. It’s an additional feature, and you don't have to use it if you don’t want to.
In normal use, the battery lasts for just over 8 hours. Tommee Tippee have even gone that extra step to ensure that the camera unit will still function when there is no plug socket nearby. So if you find yourself in a fix, you can just use 4 AA batteries to power up the camera unit.
