The camera is really zoomed in and even on the lowest volume setting it’s still SO loud. Other than that, it does the job. If it was zoomed out a bit more and not so loud I’d buy it again!

Believe us when we say this product stops functioning properly within 3 months of purchase. The camera can no longer hold a charge and the volume is crazy loud even at lowest setting so make sure it’s plugged in before the battery beeps and potentially wakes baby especially if sound travels in your space as it does in mine.

Does a great job for what I need it to do! Love that it comes with a screen I can view baby through, and that it plays sounds. What I dislike is that the sounds stop on their own after a certain amount of time. Wish it would be nonstop till I turned it off. But I use this monitor for working with my baby and it does a great job for helping me keep an eye on her while she naps.

I loved this monitor until it stopped working after only a week of use. I was so bummed because it really was a good product, or so I thought. For no reason the camera stopped working. The light wouldn’t even turn on. Got 6 or 7 days use out of it. Complete waste of money. I would return and get a new one in case mine was just defective but I don’t want to waste my time.

I read the reviews and most of them were pretty good so I went for it! So far, I have no regrets. Like some of the reviews.. it lags a TINY bit but not bad at all. My screen does not turn off quick like others have said. I love that you can turn off the screen while the audio still works. That way it doesn't light up the entire room when you are trying to sleep. I love that it displays the temp of the room, and how you can zoom in if needed. For the price I'd say this is a great product!!
Great price & product!

Overall I'm happy with this monitor. The reason I have it 4 stars though it's because it's hard to adjust it properly to be able to see my kiddo. It's loose so it moves and I can't get the best shot of her.
I wanted a minimalist monitor, I got it!

Love this monitor. Really just an easy, basic monitor setup. No fancy settings, no wifi needed - the camera itself does have to be plugged in which may be annoying to some but doesn’t bother me. Charge for the monitor lasts long which I love. I like how the camera can clip into things and can you can rotate it to adjust. The sound quality is good, I’ve read some reviews that say it’s very loud but it seems normal to me. Just an easy set up, I haven’t used the light or music features but cool to know that they are there if needed.
