ZERO STARS. This monitor loses connection constantly. It’s incredibly frustrating when you finally get your baby to bed and you want to go to bed but you can’t because the monitor won’t work. When it works, it’s good quality and clear. But it rarely works. I regret buying and wish the return window was longer since baby wasn’t sleeping in her crib until after the return window closed. When it loses connection it makes the LOUDEST beeping noise (despite the volume you have it set to), which is so annoying because at this point your baby is sleeping and you’re trying to fix the monitor but the loud beeping could wake your baby. The worst part is that it’s impossible to fix. There are no troubleshooting tips. We have tried unplugging for a while then plugging back in. Sometimes we take the camera and parent unit next to the router and after 30 min it will finally work but then we have to unplug to put back in babies room and it won’t work. Save yourself the frustration and do not buy!

My wife got a recommendation for this product from her friend who found this innovative and very effective.The 5" viewer become our new handy item which we take across the home to keep an eye on her. We have also installed the app on our mobile phones, which allow us to check on the baby even either of us are not at home. The night vision is just perfect, even in darkness, we can clearly see she sleeping soundly and with the adaptive color night light we soothe the baby when required or just simply watch her sleep without switching on the room lights. The temperature sensor helps us monitor the ambient room temperature.We are fascinated by the intelligent alerts such as when baby face is not visible or covered by bed sheet. We have seen this work multiple times perfectly and is superb feature.The app also has sleep monitoring dashboard providing nice analysis of my girl sleep patterns and how much she sleeps , wakes up etc.The best part is continuous recording, every morning, we see the video on how she behaves across the night at quick glance using the slider, this a truly amazing and fast, and the video is stored locally on the camera, not on cloud.

So many issues with this camera, but most recently it has disconnected from the parent unit at very inconvenient times and been very difficult to pair again. I was able to pair while talking to a tech but not on my own following the same steps. The parent unit beeps really loud when it’s disconnected too. The temperature is always different than another thermometer in the same room. I got this camera specifically for the face covering and roll over detection but it would go off (loud beeping) every time baby turned her face to the side so I had to turn the feature off. This camera also doesn’t work with a universal baby monitor stand so we paid $80 for a special one that will only work with this specific camera. If the camera is left on during the day it constantly sends push notifications to my phone that baby is asleep and awake when baby isn’t in the crib. When getting up in the middle of the night to tend to baby it’s been easiest to just turn off the parent unit so the parent still sleeping doesn’t hear everything through it but tonight when we did that the camera wouldn’t connect when we turned it back on, which woke baby back up as we tried to reconnect and prompted us to finally just buy a different monitor and stand unfortunately. From what I can tell, they don’t even sell this monitor anymore, so that tells me they know how dysfunctional it is. Really disappointed and frustrated! Would most certainly not recommend!!

Relatively easy to setup, has plenty of features, and provides a clear picture. The "face out of view" notifications can get a bit excessive, but fortunately they can be turned off. I appreciate that the viewing device can be set to connect both via WiFi and local, in case your Internet goes out.

So overall the camera quality is good and the mounting, but that's about all that's good about this monitor.When you turn the "parent unit" (monitor) on, it displays a very bright green light for an extended period of time and it also makes a very loud shutter noise at the same time. I realized we get very lucky when we turn it on and my child stays asleep or it doesn't disturb her.When the light changes in the room, the shutter noise from night to light is also very loud and abrupt.The app could use some work, just overall. Especially when the time stamp doesn't show up when you use the rewind feature.When my child is playing, it tells me she is "crying". They must not have the best software if they can't differentiate between singing/laughing and crying.The worst part honestly, is that the camera DOESN'T MOVE, in what world is a monitor useful if it only points in one direction, especially if it cannot see the whole room?It has a "toddler mode" but the problem still stands.I personally wouldn't recommend this monitor, and especially not for this price.

Picture quality is good depending on connection. It’s a great design idea just not as good as you’d think. The connection & delay is a bit of a problem, sound quality is good. I love the night vision it’s really clear. So easy to set up & love all the features! Some minor flaws but still a good camera.

Love this camera! I can watch my baby on my phone and on the monitor

The picture quality and features are great! I can see my baby clearly on the monitor in daytime and night mode. There are a lot of options for sounds to help your baby fall asleep, and the face camera detector is a wonderful feature. Unfortunately, the connectivity is horrible in both wifi and base connection. I live in a 2 story 1800 sqft house, and it disconnects frequently. I can be in the next room connecting camera-base without wifi, and it'll disconnect multiple times. I've had it in the same room, and it disconnected. It takes at least 5 - 10 minutes to reconnect on its own, or I have to restart the camera and base.
