Smooth stuff. lame. And the biggie - it works on the same frequency as pretty much all consumer Wifi routers which means we have to unplug both cameras in order to use our wireless internet, *every* morning.
Sound alarm is nice since the actual audio has static (we turn the ambient audio off and just listen for the alarm).Overall. I'll give it a solid "C". wait for it.
The bad: Terrible range, lots of static in picture and audio, green LEDs way too bright (receiver lights up our bedroom even when video screen is off). Night vision works well for us but we have the cameras really close to the cribs (twins). Better than nothing, but I'd recommend trying something else.Now where's my receipt.
Oh, and the monitor stand is very unstable - I usually lay it on its side. They're about 2 iterations away from a great product.The good: The three available operating modes are nice.
The colors are also very poor and I have seen much better quality (and with less interference) on other baby monitors.Otherwise, it's an ok product and we've particularly enjoyed the setting whereby it comes on when the camera detects a loud noise (such as crying). I bought this item because it seemed to be more professional than the true baby monitors, which seem to command a premium because they are blue and cute. Nevertheless, the product has disappointed because it is so sensitive to interference, including when we turn on the microwave in another room about 20-25 feet away from both the monitor and camera.
The only positives is the sound and the alarm if your baby starts to cry. I don't recommend this camera because it's not functional at night, the beam is way to focused so you can only see a very small portion of the crib. I would not buy it.
Initial use was as a baby monitor. There is noticeable static and line distortion the farther away you get, and this is probably not great to use as something you leave on all night by your bedside unless you in a very nearby room. Chose this based on reviews and the ability to expand it to multiple cameras.
The colors are not accurate, as the brown wooden crib appears light blue. The wireless router also creates noticeable distortion - surfing the web and sending emails create additional static whenever data is sent or received. Nevertheless, the accurate color reproduction is not what I bought the camera for.
Pretty happy with this product. Even in low light I can get a good enough picture to see what I need. Overall though I am happy with it.
Want this to double both as a baby monitor as well as security cameras for the house. The picture is clearer than expected, and the night vision was also better than expected.
Overall I wish I would have went with another model. so constantly putting batteries in it and they are not lasting at all. I am not happy with this product at all. The picture quality is not great at all. I still can't get the product to work through the electrical outlet.
