Verdict

Pros & cons

Das eufy Babyphone E21 ist ein Hybrid aus Video-Babyphone mit 5-Zoll-Monitor und App und liefert ein sehr scharfes 4K-Bild, auch nachts. Die Funkverbindung läuft per WLAN-Schalter ganz ohne Internet und warnt bei schwachem Signal. Der Haken: Der VOX-Modus meldet Weinen verzögert, und in Altbauten über mehrere Etagen reißt der Funk ab. Für dich passt es, wenn du dein Kind vor allem sehen willst.

Pros

  • Sehr scharfes 4K-Bild, Nachtsicht fast so klar wie am Tag
  • WLAN-Schalter trennt Kamera von Internet und Cloud, Monitor läuft weiter
  • Verbindungswarnung am Monitor bei schwachem Signal
  • Funk im Haus rund 53 m durch acht Wände
  • Kamera schwenkt 330° und neigt 60°, zweite Kamera koppelbar
  • Niedrige Strahlung: 0,85 V/m knapp 1 m vor der Kamera

Cons

  • VOX-Modus meldet Weinen oft erst nach 10 bis 30 Sekunden
  • Funklöcher in Altbauten und über mehrere Etagen
  • Monitor zeigt nur 720p und hält mit Dauerbild knapp 9 h
  • Monitor geht bei leerem Akku ohne Warnton aus
  • Monitor schaltet sich auf der Ladestation ungewollt ein

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
