Oh my, we are so happy with this! We’ve put off buying a monitor for our son because we lived in a condo when he was first born (so we really didn’t need one) and due to how costly many of the monitors are. Now that we’re in a house, we needed a monitor to see and hear our 9 month old who is constantly waking during naps to sit, try to stand, chew on the crib, etc.
From reading other reviews, this seemed perfect for our needs and budget. Let me tell you, it does exactly that!
The picture/screen is clear (even from a far distance – we had to mount it pretty far from his crib due to how the walls are setup in his room but the zoom feature gives us the perfect picture), the features it comes with are great I.e. the two way talk mode, alert mode if Baby is crying/making noise louder than a stir, playing lullaby’s, etc. (this is more than we even need/wanted (we literally just wanted/needed to see and hear him when in the other room/watching a movie etc.) but I’m so happy it has the capabilities in case we end up needing them down the road), the screen part of the monitor works pretty far from the camera/wherever it’s placed (we tested it and it made it all the way into our garage and outside in our yard), and it’s super simple to use and install. I’ve read that people aren’t happy that it isn’t on wifi and that it’s not cordless, we personally didn’t want something on wifi because friends said that theirs often cut out and then you have to reprogram the camera etc. so for us, its great that it plugs into the wall (we tacked the cord to the wall so it disappears into the wall/room).
We were constantly running into the room to check on him at night and during naps because we couldn’t see or hear him/we would hear him and not know what he was doing lol and this is just perfect and gives us such peace of mind! If you’re looking for a super high tech, super clear, multi-function, super costly camera, than this isn’t for you lol. But if you’re looking for a budget friendly, easy to use, just need to see and hear your little one with only a few clicks, than this is for you! So if you’re on the fence about it, don’t be, it’s awesome and we’ll be getting additional cameras to connect to it for his playroom and the basement when needed.
Wish we bought it much, much sooner! Thank you HelloBaby for easing our anxiety!
