Sony 900MHz BabyCall Nursery Monitor :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
How's your baby? Even the most responsible and loving parent can't be in the nursery all the time. The Baby Call is a monitor that lets you listen to your baby when you're in another room at home. Make sure your baby is safe and sound with this 900 MHz BabyCall(R) Nursery Monitor from Sony. With its 900 MHz range, you'll can take it further than you were able to before. The 27-channel FM transmission system helps eliminate interference, so you get clearer sound, especially in the Voice Activation Mode. You can even use the monitor in the kitchen or bathroom, because this unit is water resistant. There are five Sound-Sensor(TM) activity lights to alert you when your baby is makings sounds, when the receiver is out-of-range, and when the battery is low. The Out of Range Indicator beeps and lights up when the unit is out of range. And for freedom of movement, the included Belt Clip lets you wear the monitor as you move about the home, so you'll have your hands free for other activities.

Great so far

2008-05-14
After researching numerous monitors, including the most expensive options out there, I decided to give this Sony monitor a try. We have only had them for a couple of weeks, but so far this monitor is excellent. Great sound quality, good sensitivity, and the quality is quite good.

No interference issues in a house with numerous cordless phones and a wireless router.

EASY LISTENING!

2008-05-13
Purchased these monitors after buying another brand. We couldn't hear hardly anything on the other monitor even with the volume turned up all the way. Hooked up this one and WOW! Great reception and sound. We can hear everything even at half the volume. Very clear and I carry it around the house and out in the backyard. Haven't checked out all the channels it has yet, no need to. This is a great monitor, especially for twins or new parents who want to hear everything. Would definitely recommend to any parent!

Love this Monitor!

This is a great baby monitor! We have not always had the best luck with baby monitors and when we needed to buy a new monitor for our second child, we were a little wary. We have a large house and I was a little worried about the reception throughout the house but this monitor works great! The battery life is also great! I only wish that it came with two receivers...

Awesome monitor!

I bought this as a replacement for another brand that only worked 6 months. Needless to say, I did a lot more research this time! I've had the Babycall now for about a week, and it rocks. It picks up sounds so well, I can hear my daughter sucking on her pacifier while she's in her crib! Love it, love it, love it!

Great! Even for a "slightly" paranoid first time parent

2008-04-10
This monitor is wonderful. For the first three months I rarely let my little one out of my sight; he slept with us, we held him during the day, etc. Now he is sleeping in his crib for naps and at night- everyone is sleeping better. I credit a significant portion of my peace of mind to this product b/c it is so powerful I can actually hear him breathing through my receiver. Even with it set on the sound activation mode, the monitor periodically switches on and I can hear the little guy snoring. It is awesome! Highly recommended.

Best Monitor Ever!

2008-07-17
We read reviews online and at consumer reports, and decided that this monitor would be the best for our family. It was replacing a cheap one we'd bought on clearance that had awful interference. After using the Sony monitor for the last few weeks, I'm already sleeping better at night. The voice activated setting is wonderful and I only wake up now when my son really needs me, and not when the neighbors dog is barking next door. I can't say enough good things about this monitor and would recommend it to anyone! I'm thinking of getting a second for when our daughter is born this fall. With the many channel options, I'm sure we'd have no problem using two.

Good sound quality, but not very durable

2008-07-06
We were very pleased with how the monitor worked when we first received it - it has a wide range of volume settings, from way too quite all the way up to way too loud, so the adjustability was nice. However, after using it for several weeks, it fell off the arm of our couch and onto the wooden floor one night. From that point on, it kept making occasional, loud buzzing noises at random intervals all night - not exactly helpful for getting any sleep at all. So, unfortunately, we are now back to using our 5 year old Graco monitor.

Sensitive when needed, silent when necessary

2008-06-19
This monitor is EXCELLENT. It's very sensitive, so even the lowest baby moan will be heard, but when everything is silent the monitor silences completely, so you don't listen to those annoying noises of regular monitors.
It's so sensitive that at night we put the volume on the receptor lower than the half way, so we don't jump out of the bed when my son cries.
The battery lasts a lot and it's light enough to be attached to your belt.
With the multiple frequency options, we don't have any interference at all (except when the receptor is beside a cell phone, but this is pretty manageable).

Still works great!

2008-06-08
We bought the blue colored model a few years ago when we had our first baby and it still works just as well as the day we bought it. We are purchasing another one because we recently had another baby and we still use the older monitor in our 2 year olds room....I have never had issue with this monitor and the extra channels are nice because we have a ton of electronic signals pulsing through the house...it also never fails when walking anywhere in our 4K square foot house or outside when I am gardening, etc I have even walked almost an acre away from the house and it STILL picks up signal, which is even farther than it claims to be able to do! Can't beat the quality or the price. Higher end/higher priced models are not always best in a case like this....I'm a firm believer in "You get what you pay for" and with this particular monitor you get MORE!

Horrible monitor

2008-06-06
This is a horrible product. The out of range alarm constantly beeps although we live in a 2 bedroom condo not a big house. Both microwave and cell phone disrupts the signal. It's 3am and it woke me up with the nonstop beeping. I never feel like I can rely on it so I'm constantly checking if its working and I find myself checking in on the baby like I don't even have a monitor. I'm so irritated with this product that I'm ready to throw it away.
