I have a baby monitor 6000, I have a spare camera I want to set up so I can use one monitor with two cameras. I can see there is an option to add camera in menu but when I try nothing happens even when both cameras are plugged in and on. It just shows my original camera.
With an RRP of 119.98, the Video Baby Monitor 6000 comes in at less than high ticket baby monitors like the Philips Avent UGrow Smart (180) and the the Luvion Supreme Connect (179.99), but more than the comparable BT Video Baby Monitor 5000 (99.99).
We live in a two-bedroom flat, so I can usually hear my baby crying wherever I am in relation to the nursery anyway. However, when I take it out with me on the balcony, the sound quality is good and I can hear my baby breathing as well as any other noises he makes very clearly.
I took the parent unit outside with me once just to test the range and around 15 metres from the door, it stopped picking up the camera. This would be something to bear in mind if you wanted to use your baby monitor while in a large garden.
The talkback function works well, however my baby is not particularly settled just by hearing my voice as he likes to see me and be held by me. Perhaps for babies older than four months, this would be a more useful feature.
The BT Video Baby Monitor 6000 is great for peace of mind while your baby sleeps. BT have scaled back on the large choice of lullabies and the light show, making it disappointing as a settling and soothing aid, but it performs well as a baby monitor with its large screen size and clear sound. Extra features like the remote control camera and noise-activated screen make it a very useful, if basic, device. It is also secure and hack-free for even more peace of mind.
The BT Baby Monitor 6000 is all you need to keep watch over your little one. It is packed with great features, allowing you to hear, see and talk to your baby while not in the room, all with a range of additional features. Two-way talk allows you to reassure and comfort from another room, five lullabies, temperature display, wall mountable camera, remote pan, tilt and zoom allows you to adjust the camera while not in the room.
Charlotte: I would definitely recommend this product. It's really simple and intuitive to use with very little setup time. The video quality seems good and the screen size is large enough to be able to see clear detail. It is also really easy to adjust the camera to make sure the baby is in the shot. It also has a built-in thermometer which makes working out what to dress her in for sleeping really easy and eliminates the need for another product.
Elizabeth: I would 100% recommend this product to mothers as it has been a lifesaver. The added features of two-way talk, temperature displays, lullabies and remote control panning has made evenings a lot easier as I can keep an eye on my baby whilst she sleeps. The temperature monitor has also been an invaluable aid in the recent hot weather.
Zara: This product is one of the best video monitors I have ever used. It is brilliant! I love how you can talk to your child while you're not in the room as that really settles my child if she is upset. I would definitely recommend this product, especially if you have more than one child in the same room.
Jane: It is reassuring to be able to see and hear my baby. The screen is large and video quality is superb. It is easy to navigate the monitor and the instruction manual was very clear. The camera looks nice, the product is slim and lightweight which makes it easy to pack away and take on holiday. Being able to play lullabies to the baby was a great feature.
Laura: The BT Video Baby Monitor 6000 makes my life easier as a mum because it is easy to set up, easy to use and it gives me peace of mind being able to watch my daughter sleep via the parent monitor. I love that it has a mini USB charging port for both the parent unit and camera so if I forget to pack/lose the charger I can easily replace it.
Elizabeth: This is an invaluable piece of kit and whilst I recognise that it is quite expensive in comparison to other monitors available to parents, I believe this is the best. The monitor is large and available in night vision, meaning I can keep a close eye on my baby whilst she sleeps. I wish I had bought this product sooner as it would have saved many a restless evening!
Tana: The design and style of it is very appealing. Such a small, sleek model which is unoffensive to the baby. Other monitors we have had they want to grab it or throw things at it. This seems to fit in well with other gadgets. I like the comfort of the monitor size and shape. Picture and sound are clear.
Charlotte: This is a great video monitor and I really love the look of it and how easy it was to use. I do think the video monitor offers good value for money but I would prefer a monitor that also comes with a mat to check for movement as I think it gives an extra level of reassurance particularly during the first few months.
Zara: The only thing I would change is the battery life of the monitor. It doesn't last very long so you have to charge it every day but it wouldn't put me off the product. I really like this baby monitor it is great and you get a lot of reassurance that your child is safe while asleep in bed.
A great guide, which I attempted to follow with limited success. This baby monitor is a poorly designed product and I assume it has a very high failure rate due to the USB port because there are sellers offering a repair service on eBay. The cage of the USB port is the only thing maintaining the tension on the connection and it is only folded shut, not soldered or glued. The leverage of the charging connector forces the cage open and makes the connection very loose.
The replacement port can be found on eBay for about 3 a pop, specifically advertised for BT 5000/6000. I also bought solder sucker, solder flux and .35mm solder for about 11 total. When I tried to de-solder the connector I found that it was almost impossible with a regular soldering iron. It seemed to burn up the board a bit instead. Perhaps I need a smaller tip on the soldering iron. I gave up and instead pressed the cage of the port back together and added some solder to try and stop it coming apart again. It seems to be better but the connection is still intermittent. Another idea I had would be to buy a 90 degree micro USB adaptor and thoroughly glue this in place on the back of the monitor when it is in the perfect position to maintain a charging connection. This was mean the stress of future disconnections and connections is removed from the original USB port.
I used a desoldering braid to remove the existing solder and then cleaned the traces with alcohol after the original port had been lifted out. In my head I was already budgeting for a new baby monitor:
"Illumina's record second quarter revenue exceeded expectations across all regions," said Francis deSouza, Chief Executive Officer. "This demonstrates the strength of our business led by clinical applications, including oncology and genetic disease testing, as well as research. Additionally, we are proud of the critical role that NGS plays in identifying and monitoring COVID-19 variants to inform strategies to combat the pandemic. As a result of the enduring strength of the core business, we are again raising our 2021 financial guidance."
Most home safety measures, many of which can be taken care of before baby arrives, are fairly simple for parents. Because infants are at risk for scald burns from hot water, parents need to take extra caution when preparing baby's bath. Water heater temperatures should be kept below 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and parents should always check the water themselves before placing the baby in the bathtub. According to Bauchner, research data indicates that parents "do not do a very good job at regulating water temperatures in the home," leading to second-degree and sometimes third-degree burns.
Many parents are concerned about sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, which in the past accounted for nearly 6,000 deaths each year in this country, but Bauchner says that the number has been "phenomenally reduced" in recent years. When putting infants to bed, parents should place them on their backs to avoid smothering. "Parents don't need to hover over their babies to make sure they're sleeping on their backs," he says. "The data are pretty clear that that is unnecessary." He also says that apnea monitors are not helpful unless the infant is at high-risk for SIDS (occurring in about one to every 500 to 1,000 births).
Smoke detectors are also a good safety measure, and in fact, are required in most homes in the United States. Detectors do not need to be placed in your baby's room, but should be located outside the room in a hallway. Check with your local fire department regarding smoke-detector laws in your area and ask for recommendations on the best smoke detectors to use.
When taking baby out, keep safety in mind and buckle up the little one. "Car seats, car seats, car seats," says Bauchner. "I cannot stress enough that parents need to put their babies in appropriate safety seats when riding in the car." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that one out of 700 babies in the United States will die in a car accident. Infants up to 20 pounds and one year should ride in rear-facing car seats placed in the backseat of the car. They can be moved to forward-facing seats (still in the backseat) when they pass 20 pounds or their first birthday. Children over 40 pounds should ride in a booster seat until the car's seat belts fit correctly.
Ben Popper So I want to talk about New Relic. I know you're probably thinking I should talk about Datadog, Promethease, or OpenTelemetry. And a month ago, I would have agreed with you, but New Relic did something a little out there. They reworked everything. They went open source, made it so you can monitor your whole stack in one place and simplify their pricing. There's even a free tier with one user and 100 gigabytes per month totally free. Check it out at newrelic.com. Observability made simple.
