When I had my first camera to decorate my son's room, I completely fell in love with it. I purchased it so I would feel more at ease while he was sleeping in his Just 3 months after he was born, I moved him to his crib when I discovered he slept better there than in With this camera, I can track what his breathing is like since the zoom allows me to see what he is doing. It made me anxious about SIDs with my first child and I didn't let her leave the room until she was 2. One problem is that after purchasing two more cameras, I can only use the second one as the first one is hooked up. There are times when both work at the same time, and I'm going to try different locations to see if I can solve the problem. I do not see a signal on my camera. Due to this, I have to unplug one monitor and connect the other depending on where he is. On top of that, I like it because I can move the camera around the room to see the kids from any angle.
The cameras we're using are great. In addition to the third type of camera we've tried, this is our favorite one The monitor we currently have was our third of two generic baby monitors and a WiFi monitor. It's cheaper than other cameras we bought and seems to have better quality overall more than the others we bought.
The battery life is long, the camera's maneuverability is fantastic, and they are easy to operate in a lot of situations. Sadly, we are having the same issues everyone else is having with the screen flickering while doing a little digital spaz and the screen seems like it was about to freeze. Since the problem normally only occurs for a few seconds, we haven't sent it back yet, but judging from other reviews, it's only a matter of time before the monitor needs to be replaced.
This camera had such a great first impression that we returned to buy a second one. As a result, In the beginning, this monitor worked just fine until one day, the parent screen developed some kind of bug (colored static lines across it) and then would not There was a strong burning smell accompanying this. As a result, we contacted the company who agreed to send us a replacement. At first, they said it would take 2 weeks to get it to us. Despite repeated requests, we never received the document. An email asking for an update was sent weeks later and I received an instruction to "be patient. ". Now that I've sent my second email to check on it, I've been A recent update After more than a year, we have finally received a parent A model with someone's hair on it is the wrong model. The charger wasn't sent with the device so we can't even power it on. We cannot use the charger that came with our original unit. ***HERE IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COMPANY***HERE IS WHY YOU MUST NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY* There are a number of other options available as well.
Despite its advantages, we are yet to love the camera as much as we could. There isn't much to be said about the night vision, but when you pair it up with a pack it shines When the mesh sides are open, it is very hard to see the baby. Additionally, if you position the camera so that it is looking straight at the baby, you will need more distance from the crib than you think that will allow you to keep the baby in the same frame without having to move the camera back and forth. Also, it picks up every noise in the room such as the fan in the room, the rain and wind outside, the lawnmower and the sound machine and distorts the sound. It's not too bad during the day, but it is distracting at night. This has been working for us for a few months and lasts a long time. I like that you don't need to connect this to WiFi to use it. Our favorite part is that we can take it with us anywhere we go and that we can make minor adjustments to it.
It is a pity that this unit comes with such inadequate instructions. For one monitor, I have two cameras. The scanning feature has been disabled in my browser but I have been unable to disable it. At the same time, I want to be able to watch 1 camera at a time, and manually switch to the other one when I need to watch it. There is nothing more frustrating than that! A few seconds after the monitor is switched to the other, it switches back to the other. In reading the questions and answers posted by others on this topic, I have tried a few solutions, but none has worked for me so far. This is not a brand that I will purchase.
have one in each of our children's rooms. We love that the light on it makes the picture bright and focused and the night vision is pretty awesome It was a pleasant surprise to find a video monitor that was affordable and of good quality at an affordable price. I like being able to turn off the screen at night and still hear if my baby cries if I place the cellphone too close to the monitor. I like being able to see the temperature, and I love the fact that it does not interfere with my cellphone. This is a very good value and we won't be going back to Vtech or Summer Infant ever again - we had splotchy pictures that broke up too often.
In terms of functionality, it works well, but it isn't recommended for mothers of new babies. There are a number of glitches in the game. do not like the fact that the buttons on the monitor make a clicking sound when you press them, but for my four-year-old, it works fine. I also have one in my chicken coop, so the range is good.
I will say that overall, this baby monitor gets the job done, though it does have some issues. Having said that, for the price of this monitor compared to most, I am happy. Our two cameras flip back and forth between them, so there is a rapid switch between them. The camera can be set to focus on one child at a time if I wish, and I can also adjust the angle vertically and horizontally. Occasionally, however, the picture will just freeze for a few seconds before getting highly pixelated. But after a couple of seconds, it will be back to normal. Lastly, it does not seem to be possible to turn off the night vision features on either camera. I'm not sure why this is the case. In any case, I don't have a problem because I usually wear them at night only.
