The push-to-talk button is another decent feature that lets you speak into the monitor and have the voice come on at the camera end where the baby can hear you.Ī useful temperature gauge is displayed on the monitor, thanks to a thermal sensor in the camera. These allow you to leave the monitor in standby with the screen off, saving battery life it will pop on when it detects anything. The 6000 has a super-clear night vision system that is as vibrant in the dark as it is in the day. There’s plenty of flexibility in the neck, which allows you to perfectly tilt it downwards towards your child in the cot.Īutomatic night vision is still one of the most useful features. The camera base is solid, so it can be propped on a cot edge easily. In fact, it could be enough to do away with any other night-light in the room. A small diffused amber light will displays to indicate the unit is on – something that might distract your little one, but generally isn’t bright enough to be an issue. The camera unit is similarly plastic and solid, but is far more simple with just one slider to power it on and off.
The rear features a USB-C port for charging, which is ideal if you already have a phone charger, or another device with that cable. Also, if your little one gets hold of it then you needn’t worry too much about mucky hands or even the odd drop to the floor. As such, you’ll be fine throwing it into a bag – to take away on holiday, for example – without worry. It feels a bit plasticky, but not in a cheap way rather in a solid and robust manner. It’s the simplicity of the unit that’s its greatest appeal. Down the side of the screen are a series of lights that will indicate if sound is detected, going from green to red as it gets louder. On the rear is a pop-out stand that lets you prop the unit upright. On the front of the unit are physical buttons for quick and easy control of volume and brightness, and there’s a push-to-talk feature, too. It’s a colour panel that will also display in night vision automatically when the camera detects light is low. The most prominent feature of the 6000 unit – over the 5000 or 3000, for example – is that 5-inch screen. Regardless, you’ll revel in its simplicity and reliability.
But without an ability to link to Wi-Fi, or be used with an app, this monitor may seem a little old-fashioned. There’s no shortage of features including sound sensors, auto night vision, a push-to-talk system, and that big display. As the range-topping model, does the generous-screened BT Video Baby Monitor 6000 do the job? Nevertheless, there’s a lot to think about when getting this right. So it’s little surprise the baby monitor market was always going to be an easy win for the company. When it comes to creating wireless devices with good range, BT has been at it for years with home phones.
