Tips on product's operations
- Simply connecting power for both units and allow 1-min for the units to link to each other.
- Crystal clear sound with DECT 6.0 digital technology. The best reception can be obtained by placing units away from cordless phones or other electronic devices, and make sure the parent unit is 3 feet (1 meter) away from the baby unit.
- You can choose to hear sounds from the baby unit all the time, or to hear sounds that exceed a certain VOX level. And set the parent unit to alert you with sound or vibration.
- The parent unit is operated with the rechargeable battery or by AC power. A fully charged battery can operate 9 to 16 hours depending on monitor's sensitivity settings. As it takes up to 11 hours for the battery to be fully charged, turn the parent unit off while charging can help shorten the charging time.
- The parent unit is preset to plays an audio Safety Reminder when it is connected to a baby unit. You may turn it off by pressing MENU / REMINDER / SELECT / OFF after your initial set up.

A set of five LED lights on the parent unit indicates the level of sound in your baby's room so you can visually monitor noise level with the receiver muted. In vibration mode, the parent unit alerts you with gentle vibrations when your baby is fussing. |
Talk from a parent unit to the baby unit (for DM221) and the other parent unit if you have two parent units (for DM221-2). You can use both of the parent unit at the same time to talk to the baby unit. |
The loop on the baby unit illuminates as a gentle light night. Both your parent unit and baby unit allow you to turn on or off the nightlight. If no sound is detected for 15 minutes, the light will turn itself off. |
Belt clip on the parent unit lets you hands-free and move freely around your home. |
Product Description
Product Description
The VTech DM221 Digital Audio Monitor with DECT 6.0 digital technology provides crystal clear transmission, eliminating the annoying white noise you hear from analog monitors. The only sounds you hear are coming from your baby. Totally digital transmission eliminates background noise and prevents interference so you can rest assured the only sounds you—and only you—will hear are your baby's. Make sure the Baby Unit is turned on. Move the Parent Unit closer to the Baby Unit, but not closer than 1 meter / 3 feet. If you are using the Parent Unit in cordless mode, the battery may be low and requires recharging. A full charge takes 12 hours. Reset the system by disconnecting power from both units, waiting at least one minute, then reconnecting power. Allow time for the two units to link to each other. Nearby cordless phones or other electronic devices may be interfering with the baby monitor. Separate these devices as far apart as possible. When you turn the nightlight on, if no sound is detected for 15 minutes, the light will turn itself off.

But the best part about this monitor is the added features, like the two-way talk feature. The two-way talk feature allows me to comfort my baby from a distance.
I also have to mention that I am a huge fan of the Vtech brand in general. Their products are always high quality and innovative. I have purchased several other Vtech products for my family and have never been disappointed.
Overall, the VTech DM221 Audio Baby Monitor is a fantastic investment for any parent. It provides peace of mind and convenience, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable baby monitor.
UPDATED 3/28/13
I've owned the below 3 units over the course of the last 2 years. I recommend the VTech for now (I've only had it a few weeks, but it is by far the winner in performance AND value). For features, I only listed the features that I felt would be important to the average buyer. Some of the units had other features that I didn't list because I didn't think there were critical in my decision making process.
Also, it might be important to note that we live in a 2 story house and we have Wi Fi.
Philips AVENT Basic Baby Monitor with DECT Technology
1 star
Price I paid: $95
Features:
talk back - yes
night light - yes
battery backup on Baby Unit - yes
Temperature - no (but available on upgraded units)
Visual sound indicator - yes, LED
Ease of use and customization of features (ie: setting the sensitivity level, etc): easy, intuitive.
Signal: excellent, DECT, crystal clear
Other thoughts: Loved this monitor until....... after about 6 months of use the parent unit would randomly turn itself off with no warning, no beeping, nothing. I started waking up in the morning to an "off" parent unit. This happened even if it was plugged into the charger. When I pressed "on", it would power up just fine and work well for a few days. Then it would shut off again. After a few weeks, it started shutting itself of more and more frequently. Thought it was a faulty unit, so I called Avent and they promptly sent out a replacement for free (nice customer service!). After few months of use the second unit started doing the same thing. Therefore, cannot recommend this product - it's dangerous if it turns off while you're sleeping. If you run a search on the reviews for this product for "turns off" you will see that it has happened to others.
Angelcare Baby Sound Monitor, White
2 stars
Price I paid: $59
Features:
talk back - no
night light - yes
battery backup on Baby Unit - yes
Temperature - yes
Visual sound indicator - yes. But it's not LED (which is very bright), it's part of the digital display, so you probably wouldn't notice the bars lighting up. So, yes, there is a visual sound indicator but it's poorly designed rendering it not useful.
Ease of use and customization of features: HORRIBLE, clumsy, not intuitive. You WILL need to bust out the manuel everytime you want to changes something. Channel selection is done at the Baby Unit, not the Parent Unit. That means if you have a bad connection, you have to go into the nursery to change the channel and possibly run the risk of disturbing a sleeping baby. You have to go through a series of random steps, pushing buttons in a certain sequence on both the nursery unit and parent unit. Also, it doesn't scan the channels to seek the best connection. You have the manually go through and listen to each channel and decide which one sounds the best to you. Sensitivity adjustment is also done on the Nursery Unit. Temp display is bizarre. If you turn the Parent Unit on AFTER the Nursery Unit (which is about 99% of the time, since I, like most people I know, just leave the Nursery Unit on 24/7) the display shows the channel. And will stay on the channel until the temp changes. So, the only way you can see what the temp is if the temp changes. It would have made a lot more sense to have the channel appear on the display first and then time out and default back to the temp setting since I think that as long as you're getting a good signal, you don't really care what the channel number is. But you probably do care about the temp.
Signal: 8 channel 927 MHz frequency. Started off good but after several months of use, the reception isn't as clear. I've tried all the different channels, but I still get intermittent static. It's annoying because it wakes me up.
Other thoughts: display on the parent unit is BRIGHT. Some may find it annoyingly bright if you like a really dark room. I originally thought this was a good value (at the time of purchse, my point of reference was the $95 Avent), but now after owning the $29 Vtech, I think the Angelcare is totally overpriced, especially considering how difficult it is to program the features. Not acceptable.
VTech Communications Safe & Sound Digital Audio Monitor
4 stars (if it holds up, I will change to 5 stars)
Price I paid: $29 (Value!!!)
Features:
talk back - yes
night light - yes (nightlight also has "auto on" feature which is kinda cool)
battery backup on Baby Unit - no
Temperature - no
Visual sound indicator - yes, LED
Ease of use and customization of features: easy, intuitive.
Signal: excellent. DECT technology, same as Avent. Now, I've only had this unit for a few weeks, so hopefully the quality doesn't start to go downhill after a few months. If so, I will post an update.
Other thoughts: this monitor also has a "vibrate" feature, which I thought was interesting. On the parent unit, you would not be able to tell it's on if the room is dark because the display screen is not backlit unless you are actively pushing a button on the unit (I assume to save battery power, it goes into a "sleep mode"). I wish there was a small LED indicator for this. After my Avent experience above I have trust issues ;). With this parent unit, I have to reach for it and push a button so the screen lights up to confirm it's actually on. It's minor, but I think worth mentioning. The Avent monitor had a small LED that was lit when it was on.
For the price, the clarity, the features, and ease of use, VTech wins hands down. It has all the same features and clarity that the Avent had (actually, the Vtech has even more features with the sound alert and vibrate alert), but it was 1/3 of the cost. So, unless it starts shutting itself off, this is a FANTASTIC monitor at a FANTASTIC price.
Top reviews from other countries
La parte del padre es muy buena, se escuchan todos los sonidos claros y lo puedes llevar contigo. Además, incluye pilas recargables.
TIP: cuando lo conecten procuren que su hijo esté despierto, porque al conectar el dispositivo del niño comienza a hablar para dar recomendaciones de seguridad y eso puede asustar al niño si ya está dormido.
Battery life is great, lasting several hours, and the sensitivity and sound quality is great.
Recomendable para quienes tiene un bebé un poco más grande que no tiene que estar viendo y con solo escucharlo están tranquilos
Con respecto a la señal es bueno lo he probado en una casa de 3 niveles y se escucha muy bien.
Solo le veo dos inconvenientes
1. Es que las instrucciones están en inglés
Lo que puede dificultar un poco el manejo a algunos papas
2. la duración de la batería del portátil que es aproximadamente de 3 a 4 h aproximadamente
Fuera de eso lo recomiendo mucho
Me gustaría darle mejor calificación. Desgraciadamente, estos monitores están remanufacturados/arreglados, como se puede ver en las fotos. Esto es algo que no se especifica en la publicación del producto.
Una lástima porque la marca es muy buena, el producto funciona bien, pero venían abiertos, usados y sucios. Tuve que darles una buena limpiada y ya se ven como nuevos, pero es una muy mala experiencia la de recibir un producto usado/defectuoso.
No los devolví porque funcionan bien.
