Verdict

Pros & cons

Das Babysense True Sleep kombiniert ein 5-Zoll-Video-Babyphone mit einer Atem-Sensormatte und läuft komplett ohne WLAN und Abo. Die Funkverbindung blieb durch sieben Wände bis 51 m stabil, die Matte meldet ausbleibende Atembewegung nach 20 s. Der Haken: Das Bild ist nur Mittelmaß, und mit Dauerbild hält der Akku nur gut 7 h. Mit VOX-Modus oder Ladekabel am Bett kommst du gut durch die Nacht.

Pros

  • Stabile FHSS-Verbindung durch sieben Wände bis 51 m
  • Atemmatte alarmiert nach 20 s ohne Bewegung, nichts am Baby
  • Läuft ohne Internet, App und Abo, Übertragung verschlüsselt
  • Klarer Ton, auch Umdrehen im Bett kommt an
  • Kamera per Fernsteuerung um 350° schwenkbar und 90° neigbar
  • VOX-Modus schaltet Bild bei Stille ab, Pegelanzeige bleibt

Cons

  • Akku hält mit Dauerbild nur 7 h 21 min statt 12 h
  • 720p-Bild ausgewaschen, nachts körnig mit hellem Fleck in der Mitte
  • Mit zwei Kameras kommt Ton immer nur aus einem Zimmer
  • Enger Bildwinkel, Kamera muss mindestens 1,8 m entfernt hängen
  • Akku, Ton oder Kamera fallen teils nach rund 18 Monaten aus

Die Owlet Dream Sock ist eine Sensor-Socke ohne Ton und Bild, die Puls und Sauerstoff verlässlich misst und über die Basisstation am Bett warnt. Sie passt zu Eltern eines gesunden Säuglings, der im Elternschlafzimmer schläft. Der Haken ist die Funkstrecke, die oft im Nachbarzimmer abreißt. Dazu kommen eine zähe Einrichtung und ein Alarmton, den du nicht leiser stellen kannst.

Pros

  • Puls und Sauerstoff decken sich mit Werten von Klinikgeräten und Pulsoximeter
  • EU-Zulassung als Medizinprodukt für die Hinweise zu Puls und Sauerstoff
  • Rote Fehlalarme selten, mehrere Familien hatten über Monate keinen
  • Sensorakku hält bis zu 16 h, 20 min Laden reichen für 8 h
  • Basis warnt bei WLAN-Ausfall weiter per Bluetooth
  • Alle Gesundheitsalarme und der Verlauf funktionieren ohne Abo

Cons

  • Verbindung zur Basis reißt oft im Nachbarzimmer oder grundlos ab
  • Alarmton weder leiser stellbar noch per Handy quittierbar
  • Einrichtung nur mit 2,4-GHz-WLAN, häufig umständlich
  • In der Schweiz wegen Regionsprüfung nicht einrichtbar
  • Stoffsocken trennen sich teils nach einigen Wochen auf
