CUSTOMER REVIEW



Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this?) =========UPDATE 5/3/13=========

So we've been using this pretty regularly and I've decided to drop another star from my rating. Why?



The signal strength is proving to be weaker than first reported. We live in an old (read: poorly insulated) house, so signal obstruction should not be a huge issue, but I have found that I cannot even take the monitor out in the front yard (40 feet from the camera, tops) without the signal cutting out. As if the unreliable signal isn't frustrating enough, the device emits a loud and persistent beeping sound when searching for a signal. This includes when the camera itself is turned off. A highly irritating feature.



If they could improve signal reliability in the next go around, I would be more inclined to award a better rating.



=========ORIGINAL REVIEW=========

The last baby monitor we had offered night vision and color images along with monitoring the ambient room temperature.



This thing just blows it out of the water in terms of...everything really.



Zoom: Really? This is just so cool because if you position the camera right and your kid isn't too squirmy, you can focus in to really see if they're awake or asleep by looking at their eyes and chest movements. Yes.

Sounds: Baby really loves these and they do help her sleep.

Intercom: Our house is pretty small, but it's useful if one of us is in the room checking on the little one and needs something from the other room without having to shout or put baby down.

Night light: Not too bright as to keep our other kid up or light up the room, but it's comforting in a way that's pretty unobtrusive.

Night vision: this is a standard feature on most monitors now. Works fine.



Minor Complaints (star deduction)

Battery life: substantially lower than the 8hrs advertised. We pretty much keep it plugged in at all times when it's in use. Not a big deal really, but I wouldn't go too long between charges.

Temp Sensor: This seems like it would have been easy to make more obvious and we definitely like knowing if the room temp is just right for baby without having to squint to find the number. Even a three color light indicator system could be useful and could have been integrated into this set.

Range: While the mfr claims 450 feet outdoor, the "real" range depends how many walls you are traversing. I took the unit next door to my neighbor's upstairs unit (about 150 feet away) and the signal was spotty at best. Unless you live on a farm, chances are you'll want the true range explained in more meaningful terms. Otherwise, this limitation really would only apply to people who live in large mansions anyway. In which case you've probably got a nanny on standby outside their room anyway.
