## 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. 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. Brand Story By VTech

Review: Easy set up. Flawless performance for 21 months (and still working fine) - We use to monitor bedridden elder who stays in room on other side of house (not huge house but thick plaster walls). Set up was effortless: the units connected automatically as soon as powered on. Sound quality is very good. Volume and sensitivity is adjustable: I can hear the bedridden one breathing, but if say, you take it to the bathroom to be SURE to be able to hear the distressed calls from the bedridden one that are SURE to arise as soon as you seat yourself - but then LEAVE the it in the bathroom and return to your another room, even at its loudest setting, you probably won't be able to hear it from the bathroom or wherever you took it. I don't count that as a fault of the product if I've moved it down and around the corner to another room and left it there, but it would be convenient to be able to add another Parent/Listening Unit so as to be able to leave one in place, and have another to walk around with (with the convenient belt clip), or to station in the bathroom or whatever other room. And while my Bluetooth headset will frequently disconnect from my cell phone if I go any distance in this thick-walled house, this Parent and Baby unit stay connected, even if I carry the PU with me across the street to the neighbor's back yard. This product does everything promised and is perfect for our purposes, though it would be a huge convenience to be able to add an extra PU after purchase, which the manufacturer says is not possible, so if you went/need 2 listening / Parental Units, you have to buy a set that comes with the Baby Unit and TWO Parent units to begin with. It's not much more expensive and would have prevented several incidents where the bedridden one was highly distressed at getting no response - and delayed response resulted in a urine-soaked person and bed to clean up. Would have definitely been worth the few extra dollars to prevent that situation, but this unit delivers all that it promises and I thought good battery life off the charger (though maybe not as much as promised - I'd have to check on that).
Review: Excellent product for my particular monitoring use - I use the VTech DM221 to monitor a 93-year-old with mobility and hearing disabilities, although he is generally still surprisingly agile and moves about the house between bedroom and bathroom. Using two sets of DM221 I can monitor both locations simultaneously and track him continuously when he moves about with hearing acuity approaching that of the cat which follows him around. The price point for these sets makes this a feasible approach. However, under the current technology configuration, monitors from different sets cannot be linked to the same parent unit unfortunately. Why? Having two parent units side by side presents no major problems however and, given the sensitivity of the monitors over a wide range, ensures continuous tracking within and between various locations. I found no issues at all with the range of transmission so I can take a parent unit with me into the yard or basement of the house without losing sound quality or sensitivity. The quality of the reception within the wide parameters claimed by the manufacturer is extremely good. You can literally hear a pin drop at any location/room and it is so sensitive that it sometimes picks up extraneous sounds from the adjacent street. At times I've heard that darn cat purring at a particular location when the animal must be at least 1.5-2.5 metres from the monitor. A person's normal breathing can easily be heard with monitor placed a minimum of 1m from the source. If these sounds become too much, just turn down the sensitivity on the monitor or the volume on the parent unit. VOX sensitivity level can be adjusted across 5 settings. Having a monitor that does not require the person being monitored to press buttons or even to speak (all sounds, normal and unusual, can be heard clearly) is a great comfort since a sudden stroke or accident may leave the monitored person unable to communicate verbally. With this monitor, allowing that you are attentive and able to interpret sudden and unusual changes in behaviour and patterns of sound, you will not miss a thing. I would have preferred to buy a 2-unit monitor set with a single parent unit to facilitate this configuration but only a 2-parent/single monitor set is available. Why? I normally cannot be in two places at once (although that feat is quite often necessary) and if I need to I can simply move the parent unit to a second location, with or without AC power connected. I can use the parent unit without AC on battery power which is sufficient to last at least overnight without AC power. (The monitor is permanently connected to power so no battery issues there. The parent unit should be connected to AC power most of the time to make sure the battery pack is fully charged and ready for mobile use). There must be different battery packs for different models to the DM221 or otherwise comments about lack of battery life on desertcart are just wrong. Australian customers must buy separate AC power plug adapters which are very cheaply and quickly available on desertcart AU. The units are compact, light-weight, durable plastic (although I wouldn't try a drop from a height) with fairly simple menu controls and the possibility to monitor sounds visually as well as aurally by observing LED sensors on the parent unit which register the strength of the source. The parent unit can be used to talk to the monitored person and, in my case, even if the deaf nonagenarian cannot determine exactly what is being said he does register the fact that you are there and attentive. The sound quality is so good that occasionally he understands simple messages such as "breakfast/dinner coming" and that is totally amazing given the quality of his remaining hearing capacity. There might be monitors on the market which could resolve a couple of the issues I've presented for my needs/configuration, but this product serves my purposes extremely well, most especially in terms of sensitivity to sounds on the monitor side and sound reception quality on the parent unit side. If your needs are similar, just buy it. It works perfectly well under Australian conditions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why did you buy this product instead of a video baby monitor? Is it just price, or something else? Trying to decide for myself!**
A: The video monitors do no filter the noise coming from the baby’s room. We have a more expensive video monitor and ended up buying this one to replace it because the sound quality on the video monitor was terrible and when it transmitted the noise machine from the nursery it was impossible to sleep through. This monitor only transmits sound above a custom level that you set, so you don’t listen to every little peep from your little one, just the distress calls.

**Q: Does the baby unit have a rechargeable battery too, or just the parent unit?**
A: I would love for the baby unit to be battery operated but contrary to the first reply, it doesn’t have a battery mode to use without having to be plugged in, just the parent unit.

**Q: Is anyone using two (2) of these units successfully without problems? 
We often have two grandchildren staying and would like to buy a second unit.**
A: Yes, we have two units and are using them because we wanted more than 2 parent monitors. You cannot link the two, but we wanted more parent units. Here is what we did. 
- Put both baby monitors in same room 
- One set of parent units will "hear" one of the baby monitors
- Other set of parent units will "hear" the other baby monitor
- Put the 4 parent units in the rooms we wanted them in. All 4 parent units will hear the same thing
- Only drawback is that only 2 parent units can talk to each other; the other 2 parent units can talk to each other
Works for what we need. Gives us 4 parent units, and we put 2 for daytime use and 2 for night time. The daytime parent units are
in different rooms, which we will be in during the day. The 2 for night time are near the bed or TV room.
It has been working for us.

**Q: Is the distance range really close to 1,000 feet?  I want to use this as a barn monitor for baby goats, and our barn is quite a ways from the house.**
A: During lambing season, we left the "parent" portion plugged in at the barn and the baby monitor in the house. I often had to relink the devices when I went down to the barn, but then I could listen to be sure everything was fine in the house or use the walkie talkie feature to page my husband for help during late-night treks to check for lambs. I'm not great at judging distances, but our barn is probably 200'-300' away from the house and we were using it in the basement.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my elderly mother
*by L***E on July 24, 2024*

I recently moved my 92 yr old mother in with us after she was in the hospital for a while. We gave her the first floor bedroom and bath, and my husband and I have our bedroom and offices on the top floor. I work from home, but was afraid I wouldn't hear her if she fell or needed help during the day or night. We started with a call button, but she would set it down and forget where it was. After a long search of trying to find two way monitors, I came across these. They work great as monitors for elderly people. I purchased two sets of these monitors, as I needed one for her bed/bath and one for the kitchen/family room. My only complaint is that I wish there were an option for two room monitors. The quality is excellent. They are very sensitive and pick up even small sounds. I have one placed on her nightstand in the bedroom, and it even picks up the sound of her electric toothbrush in the adjacent bathroom. If she needs me, all she had to do is call out to me, and I can respond back and let her know I'll be right down. The parent monitor has a rechargable battery and a belt clip so that you can carry it around with you. It stayed connected even when I took the trash out to the curb last night. Great range! The room monitor has no battery and just stays plugged in. Most of the time I just keep the parent monitors plugged in at my desk. Since they are side by side, I labeled them B and K so I immediately know which room she's calling from. Great value for these monitors!
