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

Das Philips Avent SCD871/26 ist ein Video-Babyphone mit eigener Elterneinheit, das stabil per Funk ohne WLAN läuft und durch zwei Etagen eines Einfamilienhauses reicht. Es passt zu dir, wenn du ein klares Nachtbild willst und kein Bild ins Internet schicken möchtest. Der Haken: Im Dauervideo ist der Akku der Elterneinheit schnell leer, und die Kamera schwenkt nur von Hand.

Pros

  • Stabile FHSS-Funkverbindung durch zwei Etagen, ganz ohne WLAN und App
  • Warnton bei Verbindungsabbruch an der Elterneinheit
  • Klares Infrarot-Nachtbild auf 4,5 Zoll, schaltet automatisch um
  • Im ECO-Modus 48 oder 60 h Laufzeit der Elterneinheit
  • Kein Abo, keine Cloud, Funkstrecke auf Cybersicherheit zertifiziert
  • Gegensprechen, sechs Schlaflieder und weißes Rauschen mit Timer

Cons

  • Im Dauervideo hält die Elterneinheit nur einen Abend
  • Kamera nur von Hand ausrichtbar, kein Fernschwenken
  • Kamera ohne Akku, braucht ständig eine Steckdose
  • Bildschirm zeigt nur 854 x 480 Pixel statt Full HD
  • Wenig Ausstattung für den Aufpreis gegenüber einfachen Modellen
