Great for watching my 3d printers
I just want to start this review by mentioning that I didn't purchase this item to keep an eye on a baby. I purchased this to keep watch of my 3d printer farm whilst I am not in the room.This camera can rotate quite far making it perfect for watching a small farm of printers. Using this I can monitor the printers when I am not present in the room, when a print fails I can intervene.You can also use the 2 way audio feature to listen to your printers if you beleive that there is a mechanical issue with your printer.The device also works in the dark, although it is a bit more difficult to make out if the print has failed. The main reason that I decided on this camera is because of the monitor. The monitor allows you to view and control the camera remotely without the use of the mobile phone. You can have up to 4 cameras connected to 1 monitor which is perfect if you have a larger farm.Overall I think that this camera is perfect for the job that I need it for.

Very good for the price paid
Previously had a much more expensive monitor with a sensor mat and had to return it due to it being faulty with constant false alarms. Overall we are much happier with this version even though it was considerably cheaper. We have recommended it to a friend. As with any item there are pros and cons which I have tried to list below. Whilst I have mentioned a few cons, it would not put me off buying this model again but they might bother some people more than others so I have listed below.Pros:-The picture quality on this very good especially when comparing the night mode version to other models I've seen- it’s not as clear at night as the day mode but still very good and unlike some monitors does not have a weird light spot in the middle.-The minimum volume is quite low which I found useful. Some other makes I have come across are still very loud on the minimum setting which was annoying for us because we use white noise. It’s actually very good as well for not picking up white noise as much as other monitors.-The ability to pan left and right and up and down is really good. You do need to use the bracket that comes with it to get a good angle because otherwise the pan down is not particularly useful but the bracket is really easy to fix and Surprisingly sturdy.-apparently you can add other monitors to this. I haven’t actually use this functionality but think it would be useful for a second child.-useful to be able to zoom in-it’s useful that you can turn off the screen without turning off the monitor. The screen is quite bright so it’s nice to be able to turn it off at night and just turn it back on if you want to have a look.-i’ve not used the two-way talk facility but again this is a useful option.-battery life is good. If you plug it in at night, we have found that it lasts well for day naps and evening.Cons-it is not completely silent even if the room you are monitoring is silent. we didn’t actually notice this for a while because of the white noise that we use which it actually doesn’t pick up too much but I have since noticed that if the white noise is off you can still hear a sort of background sound which I guess is just the machine. It’s not really loud but it might bother some people and Whilst I hated our old monitor for a number of reasons, that one did not do this.-The buttons don’t light up with the screen which makes it hard to see what you’re pressing in the dark.-Although it beeps to let you know if the battery is low, there is not a great deal of warning until it runs out. If you forgot to plug in at night and were a heavy sleeper, you might miss the warnings and it would turn off. Obviously this is not a problem if you ensure you plug it in.-there is no time on the display. For night wake up this would be particularly useful-The actual camera bit is quite clunky and large. This doesn’t bother me at all but some people have commented on how big it is. I suppose if you go away a lot and need to take it with you then it’s a consideration.-although it’s useful to have the zoom function you cannot pan and zoom simultaneously you have to pan and then zoom - you can’t zoom and then pan.-we have found that to get a view of the whole cot you have to put it up high which is fine for us but that has meant we have had to use an extension to make the cable long enough to reach the plug. The cable could do with being a little longer.

Fantastic quality for cheap
I’ve been using this monitor for 6 months, and I’m delighted with it. Initially, it interfered with our WiFi, and I couldn’t have the monitor on, and use the internet. But I used a different channel on the monitor, and the problem was solved. The fact you can sleep the screen so it’s not light while I’m sleeping is great, and there’s no annoying clicking like with more expensive models such as the Angel Care. The picture quality is phenomenal, and we have a large house, and the monitor has great range. Easy to use, doesn’t require WiFi so there’s no child protection issues (I heard some WiFi models were having their feeds hacked into), and sturdy enough to attach to the top of the crib. It should be noted that the price has gone up by almost £30 since I bought it in December 2019 but I would still pay the new price for the device.

This is the one!
I have been trying to find the perfect baby cam for my little one, have seen many different ones with different functionalities, but this one is by far the best one I have come across.The camera has the ability to rotate vertically and horizontally as well as zooming in. You can also talk through the camera and listen through it. You get all the usual stuffs too such as great night vision, temperature. My favourite feature is the fact that it can detect sound which will turn the monitor on. Honestly, this is tremendous!

Good, but....
I’ve had this monitor for a few months now. I really like it, battery life is good, picture quality is excellent. I turn eco mode on and it picks up noises very well and the screen turns off after a few seconds (30 seconds I think.) There are a couple of bad points though. If you play the lullaby’s that it’s programmed with they set off the cry sensor and eco mode switches off, most annoying if you are planning on using these. Also, when it’s charging there are really bright flashing lights. I sleep in a pitch black room and it illuminates it so much I've had to stick gaffa tape over the lights. But even then they shine through the plastic and out the back. I don’t see the point in them flashing
