It was a decent camera for the price. I have been through 4 baby monitors in less than 2 years. The first two were different brands, one stopped charging and and the other the monitor just refused to turn on. I was really excited about this one because I have a smaller v-tech monitor for traveling and love it. It just doesnt have the remote camera movement feature that this one does. I was a a bit disappointed in the picture quality compared to the other v-tech I have. Then one day I accidentally dropped the monitor. It wasnt a hard or a far drop, maybe a foot and a half to 2 feet fall, it simply slipped out of my hand. Now the screen is cracked. I am very disapointed in the durability

Don’t like that it can be hacked. There’s no way to record

It was plug and play within a minute of taking it out of the box (I didn’t look at the instructions.) The icon menus were easy to navigate. After I set up the camera in the baby’s room, I was able to reach all corners of my house plus the mailbox at the street and stay connected. Can’t say much about the battery life yet, but I left the screen unit unplugged for at least 4 hours to test it and it had not dropped a bar yet on the charge. I know it’s made to stay plugged in most of the time especially overnight, so it’s good enough so far. Good value for the price. I was pleasantly surprised

The only thing I have a problem with is that the buttons are don’t always respond correctly. When I try to put the volume down the volume instead goes up.

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.

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

We are so happy with this baby monitor! The picture is great, even at night. The swivel feature is great, you can move and zoom the camera if baby moves around in the crib. We also love the feature that allows the screen to be off unless baby makes noise triggering it to come back on. Great monitor for the price!

So far, it does everything it claims in the add. The TALK feature is not as clear as I expected but it works. The sensitivity level is great. Once my daughter fusses, the response is instantaneous and we are alerted. As said, its worth the price. I have not had time to monitor the battery life though. Suggestion to manufacturer... the camera should have a back us battery so it can be used during power outages.

Pros: great camera and montor quality . Cons: battery life (less then an hour w/sound; maybe 1.5 hours w/o). Connectivity (never could get app to work. Using the monitor wifi connection I have dead zones in my house. Her crib is upstairs. So Ill loose connection with the camera in part of my kitchen, laundry room, and part of my dining room on first floor. These areas are directly below her room.)

This monitor is wonderful. Very much worth the cost. The video is clear even when babies room is pitch black. It has some cool features such as showing the temperature in the babies room, as well as varying volumes so you can hear every single little sound, or only hear it as a baby gets louder. The only complaint is that the directions are very big and hard to understand. It took a lot of trial and error to figure out how to get the monitor and cameras to work
