What’s the best placement for the Philips Avent Video Baby Monitor baby unit?
For safe use, keep the baby unit and its cord at least 1 metre away from your baby. This distance also allows for the best sound detection and view of the crib and your baby. Never place the baby unit inside your baby’s bed or playpen.
You can place the baby unit on a stable, level surface or mount it to the wall with screws. Adjust the baby unit to get the best view of the bed or playpen.
