Drift Home Baby Monitor and Smart TOG Guide

• The Drift Home Baby Monitor unit has an in-built temperature gauge which not only enables you to know the room temperature, but also what to dress your baby in for sleep time.

• On the front of the monitor there is a quick access button to the Smart TOG Guide. Pressing this button will bring up a clear picture display that will tell you what TOG-rated sleepwear to dress your baby in for sleep, based on the current room temperature reading on the monitor. The recommendation is based on both TOG recommendation and garment type you should dress your baby in.

• The Smart TOG guide recommendations follow the ergoPouch ‘What to Wear Guide’ system and is intended for use with ergoPouch’s TOG-rated products only.

• A TOG (‘Thermal Overall Grade’) is a unit of measurement for warmth and insulation in baby sleepwear. For safe sleeping, a baby or infant cannot have loose blankets in the sleep environment, so we dress them in wearable blankets (or sleeping bags, as they’re commonly known) to keep them warm during sleep. These wearable blankets come in different thicknesses/warmth ratings, or TOGs.

• The higher the TOG number, the warmer the garment is. You would choose a TOG based on the room temperature the baby is sleeping in. Many parents find it tricky to match their room temperature to their sleepwear – this baby monitor takes the guesswork out of dressing baby warmly and safely for sleep by telling you exactly what TOG combination to dress baby in.

No, the Drift Home unit does not come with Wi-fi connectivity or an app. The monitor and camera connect using a type of digital radio frequency called FHSS technology (‘Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum'). Digital FHSS transmits radio frequencies at 2.4GHz, by switching the carrier frequency rapidly within a specific band. This wireless technology is secure, robust, and the non Wi-Fi connection makes it more resistance to hacking and interference. We choose to use no WiFi to protect the privacy and safety of your family, for a secure connection with your baby that only YOU can see.

• The Drift Home Baby Monitor uses VOX sound detection (‘Voice Operated Exchange’) technology. When baby cries or makes a noise, the paired monitor will be activated and the sound will be heard through the monitor. A visual icon will also appear on screen to alert you.

• The VOX sensitivity can be adjusted to what level of sound you want to be alerted to (e.g. softer whimpers or sleeping noises, or full crying), and there are 7 levels of volume control on the monitor.

• Yes for day time mode, or when lights are on in a room, the vision will display in full colour.

• Drift Home also has Auto Night Vision – with 2 metres of clear black and white vision in them room (up to 6 metres total night vision). Auto Night Vision uses invisible infrared LED to protect babies’ eyes at night.

• There are 8 level of brightness control on the monitor.

• Yes, the Drift Home Baby Monitor has a 2-way talk back function. This can be used to help sooth a newborn baby with your voice without needing to go into the room, or talk to your older child when needed.

• The Drift Home Baby Monitor comes with 5 soothing and calming soundtracks – the tracks can be accessed via the paired monitor unit, or via the camera unit manually. The five soundtracks included are Rainforest, Ocean, White noise, Heatbeat and Fan. These tracks are the popular tracks also included in our Drift Away Portable White Noise Machine (sold separately).

The monitor is rechargeable and comes with a USB-C charging cord and adaptor. The camera is plug-in only.

Yes, the Drift Home Baby Monitor is travel friendly, and can be packed up easily when required. The 300 meter range and rechargeable monitor makes it ideal for travel.

The Drift Home Baby Monitor has up to 300 metres of coverage, depending on your house, other outside or inside interference, wall types and thickness. This means that you can be up to 300 metres away from your baby sleeping, and still receive a strong signal to the monitor, making it ideal for large houses, and travel.

• Yes, Drift Home Baby Monitor comes with feeding, nappy change, room temperature, and sound alarms and alerts. These can all be customised to your preferences.

• The monitor unit will also alert you to when the battery is getting low, or if signal is lost or out of range.
