Does everything I need it to, and does it pretty well. I didnt buy it for a baby or anything, and I bought it used, but its doing pretty well so far. The bad: 1. TINY camera angle. Even zoomed out, you get a really narrow field of view and have to pan around to see more than just a babys worth of space. Might be a good thing considering how low-res the camera is, though. 2. The camera isnt very good, though I guess its okay for the price. If youre watching for tiny movements like breathing, good luck. Framerates awful, though I suppose thats not exactly a high-priority. Also the exposure is pretty bad too, if theres anything bright in the view, youre blind, and dark colors in general are pretty much gone. Still, good enough, its not an F, more like a D+ or so. 3. Night vision is finicky, I really wish it was a toggle. Its not great at detecting when to switch. If you have the camera in a lit room and the light is turned off, theres a pretty good chance it wont turn on night vision until youve panned the camera a little to kinda remind it to switch. 4. I wish there were more settings to mess with, its pretty basic. 5. The zoom function and the speaker volume settings are buried in the setting menus, I wish they were buttons for easier access. The good: 1. The infrared night vision sees perfectly well, even in pitch-black rooms. 2. The battery life for the screen is about where its advertised at, surprisingly. Ran a test for like 16 hours and still had plenty of battery left, even though I dont plan to unplug it very often. 3. Wide, wide angle to tilt and pan the camera, even a bit TOO much for a baby monitor. Makes me wonder if its a repurposed security camera or something, ha. 4. The thermometers kinda cool, Im sure some moms out there probably have used it to save a kid or two after forgetting to close a window or something. I THINK the thermometer is accurate? 5. Havent tested it yet, but if the screen has a range of 1000ft, thats great, it means I should be able to carry it anywhere in the house or the yard without losing signal. Everywhere I HAVE taken it in the house works, though. Should try carrying it while mowing the lawn or something.

We love this baby monitor, the picture quality is decent for the price and the screen size is large enough. The fact that it is not a wifi monitor gives me peace of mind. I also like the fact that it has the option to play white noise which helps my baby sleep during naptime.

We just got this baby monitor because we needed one for both our baby’s and one that didn’t break the bank! And I must say I love it so much already! We love the fact that it comes with the wall mount and that we can take it on the go when we travel!

It works well, but picture at night is a little less clear than I would have liked.

This monitor works great. We have the camera in the kids treehouse and the monitor in our home. I can see and hear clearly to assure safety. It also plays music and the camera can be moved by the monitor to see different directions. Furtherest distance is roughly 500 feet and no issues with transmission

Has a good size screen and camera is pretty big. The quality of the monitor is not the best though. Its not very clear and hard to see during the day. The screen doesnt get that bright either.

Wish the parent unit battery lasted a little longer, but it helps if it’s in sleep mode/cry alert. Not as clear as I’d hoped but definitely able to see what’s going on. Night mode also seems pretty sensitive (turns on when there’s still light in the room). Love the pan/tilt option. All in all, I like it and would recommend it.

Ordered this because it was highly rated compared to other options. Some complaints about this are that you need a perfectly flat surface for this thing to stand up properly because the base is too slim. My old camera had a flip-out stand which was much better. The settings are pretty limited, and as others have mentioned, the field of view is really narrow. The multi-camera view is annoying because you cant pan the camera while in split view, so if one kid moves, you have to change the mode back, pan the camera, then switch it back to split view and hope that your kids dont change position and move out of frame (easy to do with the narrow view). Charging is also problematic. If the battery is low and you want to charge it with the screen on, good luck--I have to turn the screen off for it to actually charge. Picture quality isnt that great, and Ive had issues where the temperature reading disappears randomly and I need to reset the camera in order to get it back. Giving it 3 stars because the connectivity seems decent.

Got these to keep track of the dogs. One loves to wait for me to leave the room so she can jump up and destroy something. The cameras have to be plugged in, but the screen lasts a while without. They are working as expected.

This product would have been just fine if not for 2 super annoying features. Annoying feature #1: Sound doesn’t mute. On the parent unit it allows you to turn the volume all the way down to mute but then turns back on maybe 5 seconds later. Annoying feature #2: Bright light on child unit. Since the parent unit doesn’t mute, I turn it off when not in use (aka when I get into bed, right next to the crib or when I have to resettle baby back to bed - no point in having the whole house hear me struggle to do this). But when the parent unit is off, the child unit blinks a bright green light. What is the point of this? To let the baby know that I’m no longer watching? Eye roll. Of course I could just turn off the child unit but I’d rather not risk fumbling with it while the baby is sleeping. I’ve tried to cover the light with FIVE layers of electrical tape but the light still finds its way through some part of the unit. Blah. Likely returning. UPDATE: finally decided to return this. I tried to make it work but I just found more and more annoying things over time. I ended up covering the flashing light by wrapping a fabric headband around it. I thought that would ease my annoyance, which it did for a while. But then, one day while doing loud-ish chores I turned the volume on the baby unit all the way up. My baby woke up but I didn’t hear him cry until later because the unit automatically turned the volume down to level 1. So basically this monitor does not mute OR increase in volume. Maybe my unit was faulty, who knows. But this is def not worth $70! I switched to Eufy which was double the price but it’s already a million times better and functional!! TLDR; Don’t waste your time or money. This is so old school - it should not be on the market anymore.
