Q: How is the night vision?
submitted by Scooba - 8 years ago
A: Good until it quits working after 6 months.
submitted byBlaze - 6 years agoA: It’s great we tried other monitors but this one works the best. Would recommend.
submitted byOsu123 - 7 years agoA: Night vision feature is really good. Our baby is four months and we’ve had zero issues with it.

Q: Can you link the video feed from this camera to an app on your phone?
submitted by Courtney h - 8 years ago
A: I have this product and I’m not aware of an app for the baby monitor.
submitted byOsu123 - 7 years agoA: no you cannot. it is a wifi free unit and only reports to the receiver
submitted bymsaunders - 4 years agoA: Not that I know of. You should contact company to see

Q: Is it true that when u register it you get a free extra camera??
submitted by Beth - 8 years ago
A: This should be a tell-tale sign that they are boosting reviews immediately after purchase because if you've owned it for longer than 6 months, its garbage.
submitted byBlaze - 6 years agoA: I received one if I completed a review. It is super great having 2 once the baby started moving around in the crib
submitted byEricka Z - 6 years agoA: I received this from my registry, and I only got the one.

Q: Does this monitor have sound? First-time, soon-to-be mommy here and worried that we won't be able to hear baby with this monitor. Thanks in advance for your help!
submitted by KristinaJ - 8 years ago
A: You can hear well. However, the microphone has a constant white noise sound you hear from the monitor side. It is way louder than your children and drowns them out. It's awful. I wish they would get a better speaker that only pics up your children! Huge flaw
submitted byMjheat - 4 years agoA: Yes it has sound. You can hear everything with this monitor. It has several volume settings, but we just keep it on the highest setting. I can hear perfectly when our baby moves, etc. Its a good camera.
submitted byOsu123 - 7 years ago
Q: Does this have a function where you can turn screen off and use it as an audio monitor?
submitted by swimlat - 8 years ago
A: Yes, there’s a button on top of the baby monitor to turn the screen off but keep the audio on. It saves about 50% of the battery.
submitted byOsu123 - 7 years agoA: They do have a sleep mode, you can short press the power on/off/sleep button to turn the LCD screen off while keeping the audio on.

Review after 1.5 years of use
Writing this review after using this monitor daily for the last 18 months. Pros: Simple, non-wifi, no issues with signal reaching throughout our average sized house. Cons: The temperature reader stopped working about a year into having this. The temperature will jump from the 50s to the 80s and everywhere in between. After looking it up, it seems this is a common issue with this monitor. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t, so we just assume the template reader is unreliable. My biggest complaint is the battery. The monitor will say it’s fully charged, and when you unplug and turn it on, the battery is already at 3 bars instead of 4. We will leave it plugged in all day and it will still say it’s not fully charged, or it will charge for a few minutes and claim to be fully charged. It’s annoying to have to leave it plugged in all the time because we don’t know when the battery is working correctly. All in all, I’d say this monitor should cost like $50. I think there is a very similar version sold by an off brand that I would’ve gotten instead if I’d known about it. It works fine for my one child, but I feel like it should work better for how much it costs. It does work better than many of the other monitors that use apps instead of a standard monitor, and we’ve never had connectivity issues or anything. But it does seem overpriced for what you get.

Battery life sucks
Video quality and sound quality are pretty good but the battery life is complete trash. It's so crazy. I wish I would've known before it was too late to send it back. We bought a $50 baby monitor on Amazon for our older child. The video quality is 720 P but the battery lasts several hours longer without even having to think about putting it on the charger.

Great product, great customer service
This has worked great for us as a monitor. We had an issue with the monitor component, and even though it was outside the year-long warranty, they got me a whole new component! Emma was especially great and accommodating. Excited to keep on using it with our kid and others to come.

Useless.
This is awful, the sound does not work and we can’t return the item because it’s too late. But we are just now using it due to our baby moving into his room and not the bassinet anymore. I wish there was a way to receive a store credit or return this item somehow since it is basically useless without sound.

Electronics are a pain.
It's defective. I got it as a baby gift, and we even got a spare camera to sync to it, and it doesn't work. The cameras won't sync, and the battery for the monitor doesn't last long as it said it would. We didn't open the product until our baby was able to sleep in his crib.

This monitor is not remotely worth the price
This is the most wildly priced item I've maybe ever purchased. The battery life is terrible. The range is terrible. It's nice that it can't be hacked, but otherwise I cannot begin to imagine what justifies the price. Rookie mistake - I should have done more research.

Built to fail
Monitor has multiple flaws after one year of use. Only keeps getting worse. Sound comes and goes- it has to be positioned just right for it to work consistently. Signal says out of range randomly- does not reconnect if I turn it off/on again. Lots of safety concerns with those two things.

Can't be hacked
Love that it cannot be hacked. Wish it had a further distance radius. Will sometimes randomly beep saying it doesn't have Reception when it hasn't moved in days. Good video and sound quality.

Great customer service
The customer service is outstanding for this company! Any problem I have had they have quickly resolved and sent me a new unit quickly without worry! The monitor puts my mind at ease bc it's a closed circuit and no potential for being hacked into. Also is a great monitor to bring anywhere you will not have WiFi available!

Horrifle Battery
The battery life is TERRIBLE. It started off bad and has gotten progressively worse over the last year and a half we’ve been using it.

Safe and Efficent
I love this monitor. We have two of these monitors for our children and find them to work great. Our images are always clear and the sound is loud and clear. We don’t have to worry about WIFI with these monitors, which is an added bonus. The signal has always been strong. We can move around our whole house, the garage, even the backyard without worrying about losing signal. The battery life is great. I always charge it overnight and I’ve never had issues. I feel like it helps me to keep my children safe while providing an easy to use design. I would highly recommend this monitor!

One of my favorite registry gifts
Really like this! We use it all the time and have not had issues. There are occasions where it says it’s out of range but we just put its antenna up and it’s back in business. We have also traveled with it and that was easy as well.

Do not recommend
The range on it is horrible. It will cut out of range all night when we are less than 25 feet from the camera. For how expensive it is, I’m extremely disappointed.

Not great
I do not recommend this product. So many issues with it. The battery is awful. It dies within minutes of being unplugged. Sometimes the sound goes out if I move the camera. The sound cuts in and out all night long. It beeps like it’s out of range even when I’m like 15 feet away on the same floor.

Great product, even better customer service
I was gifted this monitor via my baby registry, and the product itself is amazing. I chose this monitor because I heard from several other moms that the company's customer service is top notch. I can definitely confirm this, as we had a battery issue (user error) and they immediately sent a new battery. Highly recommend, and this postpartum mama is now much less stressed!

BUYER BEWARE
I have only had this monitor for 8 months and it is already broken, the sound has stopped working. I called customer sevice twice for trouble shooting and still no luck fixing it. The company refuses to replace it because I used a visa gift card to purchase it and no longer have the receipt since it wasnt attached to my target app. I wasnt impressed by the quality anyways even though I did extensive research to find "the best" monitor for my baby. I ended up going with a Vtech monitor and I love it, the quality is much better. If you do decide to buy it keep your receipt and buy the protection plan from Target so you dont end up like me, out over $265 now.

Not worth the price
I personally don’t feel like the quality of this camera is worth the price. I purchased this camera because my vtech kept having connection issues. Otherwise I would have much rather stayed with vtech because the picture clarity is better and their camera has a bit more features. This honestly feels more cheaply made in my opinion.
