HOW DOESTHIS UNIT WORK AS A BABY MONITOR? Would this phone system work for that?

Yes it would, as long as they live in range of the phone system. Be sure to give them a charging base for the handsets!

All you have to do is hit the talk button and they can hear you. And they just talk. It's a baby monitor. Lol. Great monitor by the way for the money.

We used the monitor with the bassinet mattress, which is fairly thin, and didn't have any issues with function. Just keep in mind the monitor won't work if you have a mobile running or vibration setting on your crib/bassinet. The monitor picks up the movement from the mobile rather than your baby. Easy enough fix as you just don't use the mobile when you want to the sensor pad to pick up baby's movement!

If you are asking will this allow you to watch an elderly person from another room, yes. If you are asking if an elderly person will be able to use this monitor to watch over a baby, also a yes as this is an easy monitor to use.

I've had mixed experience. Running two sets (I have 2 baby units + 4 parent units) causes interference. Running one baby unit works fine 99% of the time. Running both baby units works about 80-90% of the time, depending on how much it's used. So not really recommended, since you get random beeping/disconnects during the night.

Yes it works great as a baby monitor, but it does not display continously, you can view for a certain period of time and then it asks if you want to continue... I use it as a monitor for when I go out and leave my kid with someone else. Also, you can program it to send an e-mail everytime something moves...

Yes it is but fair warning there are some features such as the numbers on the diaper that are realy only made for home phones. That's what it is mainly designed for

I use mine on two different floors. BABY is upstairs and monitor works even when I go outside to hang clothes on line. Best monitor I have used!

Yes you can. You can pair two handsets to the same base and use them also as Baby Monitor.

No. Overall this camera is better than most available baby monitors, but depending on your needs it might be worth looking into security type camera systems as well

Sorry for the delay, my internet has been acting up. I bought this for my son's new addition who hasn't arrived yet. He had hooked up a camera to veiw the baby via the internet on his phone but it had no sound. I had bought my daughter a video monitor system and I really liked that. I would think either one you go with will give you peace of mind with a new baby around. Best of luck and congratulations!

The product would work, other than the call button, as the child needs to be able to press the button for a certain period of time for that call button to work. It required practice for my child to do it. It may have benefit to you in that you can set boundaries and parameters, and the device can alert you when those have been breached.

We have two sets of the Philips DECT SCD590 monitors. The two sets of monitors work fine together in the same house, they don't interfere with each other and each baby unit only talks to the parent units it came with. We've labeled the parent units so we know which one is which. For those that need two parent units but want the newer model, you could just buy two and put both baby units in the same room to effectively have two parent units.

Yes it does let you watch and listen in real time. The church I used to work for used it as a monitor for their childrens daycare during services - it worked very well for that. They had plans to expand it to the children being able to watch the services.

We had one for our daughter and added a second monitor when our son was born (so we have 2 monitors and 2 receivers). The monitors work on different channels with no interference. The best part is that we can change the channel on either of our (parent) receivers to check in on either room, one of my favorite features of this monitor. My 2nd favorite feature is the rechargeable batteries, this is rare among monitors (and baby items in general)! :) You will love it!
