Greater than one weekI am using this monitor with 2 cameras and it does a great job - clear picture and sound quality, easy to use, lots of customizable settings (like 24 hour format and temperature in C), and a much further reach than a previously owned Motorola camera, so I can go in my garden without loosing signal. This is not a split screen, but cycles through the cameras (you can customize time intervals) what works really well in practice - for some reason I was set on a split screen for the second baby, but that is really not needed. After using it for close to 2 years the parent unit went out on me, showing only a black screen while the sound still worked. I was able to get it going again after reconnecting the cameras, but the fix did not last long and it went black again. I reached out to customer service, and Emma C has been nothing but amazing. I got a reply within 10 minutes of my first request with detailed troubleshooting instructions. There was some back and forth and Emma always replied promptly. When the instructions only got the monitor back to life for a short time, I was offered a replacement unit which arrived the next day. I only had to pay shipping for the return of my original unit - InfantOptics is pretty adamant to get the broken unit back, what is understandable as otherwise people might get a replacement and sell the broken unit on ebay. Very pleased with the experience - highly recommend.

Greater than one weekWe bought this camera because we were looking for a baby moniter that wasnt easy to hack into. We liked this because the video feed can only be seen on the moniter it comes with. The picture quality is pretty good. I wish the screen was a bit larger. The night vision is great, very crisp and clear. You can zoom in and move the camera to look around the room. Its nice to be able to move the camera to find the cat that snuck into babies room. This camera works great for what we use it for and it was a good price.

> 3 dayWe’ve been using the previous version for the past three years, and have been super happy with it. Zero problems. But we’re about to have baby number 2, and we figured if we’re buying a new camera we might as well upgrade. We couldn’t be happier! The picture quality is amazing. Such an improvement, and the original wasn’t bad by any means! Works great in daylight, and the night vision is awesome too. Love that you can pan and zoom the camera remotely. We love that it doesn’t need WiFi to work too, because our internet isn’t super reliable. Could not be happier with this purchase.

> 3 daySo what I do like about this camera is the size of the display and the zoom feature is great. I do with the buttons were slightly backlit- this would be so helpful at night. The battery life is dismal - we just bought another charging cable so we can avoid having to take our existing one from room to room. I appreciate the safety aspect with it being closed loop.

18-11-2024Thrilled I finally found a camera and monitor that works! I had to purchase a new monitor that was compatible with 2 cameras after having my second child since our first system didn’t have an available 2nd camera. This is my 4th camera duo purchase and I was starting to think I would never find one that worked. This thankfully is great!!! The reviews on the previous purchases all seemed great but this people either had low standards or just totally lied. This is worth the money! Pros: - night vision is great and very clear -you can still hear the volume when the camera monitor is on standby mode and dark to conserve battery - using 2 cameras it is easy to toggle between each camera and they do not go offline (which my last purchase did ALL the time) - battery life on the monitor has been impressive but I have kept screen on standby mode majority of the time since I can still hear - monitor is a great size. And not having to be connected to Wi-Fi makes it feel more secure CONS: -the monitor takes a specific post type charger so you can’t use any USB C or micro USB that you probably have dozens of around your house and will have to keep up with the one charger

> 3 dayAfter some research, I purchased this Baby Monitor when my son was born in Movember 2021. He is 15 months old and we have no complaints about this baby monitor. The connection is always stable, and the picture is clear. If my baby is laying on his side, I can use zoom to see if he is blinking. The battery can last a few hours, but we have the power plugged in most of the time. After 15 months, I am still very pleased with this monitor. I do wish there is an easy wall mount for this monitor.

> 3 dayWe ordered this monitor in Nov 2021 and were super excited at how well it worked. The active noise reduction was amazing because we use a sound machine and compared to the old monitor we had, it was so nice not to hear that constant noise. We werent through 2 monitors prior to this before she was even 1 because they kept crapping out. I was hoping the quality of this one would be superior as the reviews I read were great. I was a bit disappointed that our monitor started having issues before wed even used it for one year. The volume button started being weird and the monitor would turn the volume all the way down by itself. It also would zoom in and out randomly on its own or turn on the screen even though I had put it in sleep mode. I contacted customer service about it, as it was just barely under the 1 year warranty, and Zeil was extremely helpful. They replaced the monitor unit for me right away with out giving me trouble at all. The new one I got seems like it is even a bit more improved since the last one or maybe the last one always just had something a little bit wrong. Every now and then the old one would turn on the noise by itself and the the ANR would kick in again. This one does not do that. Again, i love the monitor and its fantastic quality as far as picture, zoom and sound. I just really hope this one doesnt start having problems again less than a year from now. If so, its cheapies here on out for me. Fingers crossed because i do love it!
