Tommee Tippee Dreamee Video Baby Monitor with Camera, Night Vision, 4.3-Inch Display, Two-Way Audio, CrySensor, Movement Sensor Mat, 300m Range

Product Information

Please ensure both the camera unit and parent unit are turned on. Follow steps in 'Pairing' section if you need to pair. What we like most about this baby monitor is the fact that as well as giving you all the basics you need in a decent video baby monitor - such as two-way talk, a parent unit with a good-sized screen and a good range of up to 250 metres – it also offers the movement pad for added peace of mind. Your baby won’t notice that the pad is there as you place it under the mattress. Movement sensors: Some monitors, generally on the more expensive end of the spectrum, come with a movement sensor that can be slipped under your baby’s mattress. This will detect your little one’s breathing and will sound an alarm if no movement is detected after a given period of time. It can be great for extra peace of mind, particularly with newborns. How do video baby monitors work?

In our test, we were impressed by the picture quality of the Yoo Moov and the camera’s ability to feed us a wide, live image of the nursery, moving almost silently so as not to wake the baby. Quite why you need to see 360 degrees around the entire room is a bit of a mystery to us, however. Now press and hold the alarm button on the side of the sensitivity control box while switching on the movement sensor pad by turning the dial towards high. Slip the control box underneath the mattress and keep out of reach of baby, placing it as far away from the movement sensor mat as possible.Alex: I would maybe recommend this to other mums as the camera is very high quality, especially the night vision. Once the sensitivity of the movement pad has been correctly adjusted it is great to give parents peace of mind. However, I do not feel it is very good value for money. I also feel like this product is better aimed at newborn babies who do not love around much, as I have a 9-month-old who actively moves around her cot bed and the movement pad only covers a small section of her cot. The difference between digital and Wi-Fi-based baby monitors is that digital monitors send signals over what’s known as the frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). These send a signal directly and securely from a transmitter in the camera to the receiver on the parent unit. Adjust the volume of the speaker using the +/- buttons on the top of the parent Parent unit. The volume will show on the screen. Leave to charge for 4 hours or until the red light indicator turns off. Note: The battery life of the movement sensor mat lasts up to 90 days.

The motion sensor pad is very sensitive even on the lowest setting, which can increase anxiety if the alert goes off The other side of things is the unit you’ll use as a parent to monitor your baby. This will usually be wireless and rechargeable. However, many can also be left plugged in, or may be completely wired. What technology do baby monitors use? It’s clear that technology has come a long way in the last couple of years when it comes to baby monitors. Designed to sit on nearby furniture, the camera itself is white, and fairly small in size, so it will look discreet in your baby’s room. Tilt, pan, zoom Jessica: Yes I think I would absolutely choose this product above any of the others. I’ve used two other leading brand monitors in the last 5 years and this is, without a doubt, the best I’ve used. I also have friends and family who have seen our monitor and have been amazed at how brilliant it is. I think for its ease of use, 360 vision, movement sensor and excellent night vision it is the best of the best. I cannot fault anything about this product. Lucy developed a real passion for blogging and writing when her children were young, and has used and reviewed a number of baby monitors with her daughters, testing key features to ensure quality and value for money.

Do all baby monitors have to be plugged in?

Tommee Tippee state that the range between the parent unit and the camera is 300 metres. If you go beyond this, the parent unit will beep and a warning comes up on the screen to advise that the camera is out of range.

This monitor just comes with the camera that connects to your smart device via Wi-Fi and Sense-U’s free app, but other more advanced options are available from the brand including the Baby Monitor 3 that comes with a device that attaches to your baby’s clothes or nappy to monitor their temperature, their movements, and if they’ve rolled over. There’s also a Pan-Tilt-Zoom Video model that allows you to move the camera via your phone, and the Video + Breathing version that can monitor your child’s breathing (much like the Angelcare AC527). The sensor pad does not carry any electricity and will not affect your baby even if the mattress is subject to bewetting or vomiting. Elsewhere, you can play bird songs and lullabies at the touch of a button, and it lets you speak to your baby. The battery doesn’t last long (around six hours) if you leave the display on, although it will last the night if you keep the audio on and use the video display occasionally. Or you can just leave it plugged in. Walk around your house and garden with the parent unit, ensuring that you can hear the sounds from the baby unit at all times. The monitor will work up to a distance range of approx. 300m. Daisy: This product is easy to use, has a very good design and also such great quality, especially for the price. The camera itself is compact but does not comprise on quality. It has a very large range and can cover some space and is the perfect addition to any nursery. The picture is so clear, especially compared to our previous camera and I felt a lot happier being able to see my baby so clearly, which is great even when you open your eyes in the middle of the night and can see your baby as if they are next to you. The movement sensor also really put my mind at rest.To access the settings menu, press the button on the left-hand side of the Parent unit, navigate sing the arrows and press select/ok to action or exit.

baby monitors available today that utilise an app on your phone to easily access the video feed and give you numerous additional features. Pros: Clear 1080p wide-angle camera; smart sleep analytics; useful danger zone and cry detection; grows with your child You may know the VTech brand better for its noisy, brightly coloured range of toys, but it also sells parenting essentials like this audio baby monitor which is impressively affordable for what it has to offer. Thanks to the use of so-called DECT (which stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology, the parent unit connects securely to the baby unit promising clear sound without interference. Jenny particularly likes how easy the 4.3-inch parent unit is to use. It features easy-to-select icons for access to features such as lullabies and nature sounds, zooming in, selecting the light and camera, etc. She thought the feeding reminder would come in useful for particularly sleep-deprived parents. Pros: 360-degree range of view; temperature indicator; Vox mode; comes with kit for wall and cot mounting

How to secure your baby monitor

Note: If this indicator starts flashing green, the Li batteries have run down and need to be recharged using the supplied 5V AC adapter. A new innovation for baby monitors is the addition of movement sensors. Not all baby monitors come with movement sensors, so you’ll need to go out of your way to buy a product that comes with this accessory – with a couple of top suggestions featured in this guide. A movement sensor pad is typically placed underneath your baby’s mattress and lets you review how your child’s night sleep has gone – a useful tool in those early years. What is a wearable baby monitor? Choose between “VOX On” or “Screen On” mode. The screen will only come on when detecting noise from your baby when in VOX mode. It will shut down automatically after a delay of 5 - 25 seconds (as selected by you) once your baby stops making a sound. The set up from the camera to the Kodak Smart Home App took a little longer than the other monitors in our test – but we’re only talking minutes - and after a few failed attempts and prompts we were successfully connected. The rechargeable batteries come in useful as they let you use the parent unit wire-free for up to five hours at a time. It also provides a good range and is designed to work in a home of up to 4,000 square feet.
