I Dont know I gave it away immediately after we got it because it has to be pluged directly into the WiFi and ours is in a closet not wireless.

I have mine in my backyard, it works fine when it is dark, not sure how good it would work during the day in the sunlight.

Works fine in the dark, better in a dimly lit room (similar to dawn or dusk conditions outside I'm sure) with good clarity considering the camera quality/resolution. I'm very satisfied with my purchase of this product.

Good morning,I returned the monitor due do lack of night vision with the lights out, when the baby is sleeping.

Yes, it does. However, it is difficult to use very frequently. I should say that I purchased mine for a wander alarm (to monitor a handicapped person). It went off almost every time they moved, rendering this useless for that purpose. I ended up dumping it and getting a baby monitor which allwed me to watch what they were doing rather than knowing every time they moved! MUCH better solution. Unless you are using it to monitor movement in your driveway, etc.

no .... only dusk to darkness , and it only senses Body motion . ( if you are in the car it will not turn on till it senses body motion , when you get out of the car )

No this piece of junk can't see at night, and good luck getting it to dee duly ring the day. I would recommend putting in a couple extra bucks for something else, especially if it's for security purposes!

You should plug it in and turn off the lights from the lamps in the room and close the windows at day. It lights up in darkness only. If it's day and you have natural light across a window for example, it won't work because it lights only in the obscurity. The most obscurity, the most light. Beside that, it should work, if not maybe there is a problem. We haven't used it yet constantly, we only used it in Christmas day to see if it worked and how it works because it was a gift for our son, and he hasn't put it still in his bedroom. Hope this help you.

Only comes on when there is motion, yes at dark. It stays on for 20 seconds. Very bright.

It's actually a pretty decent image for a basic video monitor. We have it on the opposite end of the house and it works perfectly--have also had it in the basement with a clear image (it is black and white though). Depending on how our baby is laying, I can see her breathing and you can easily tell when their eyes are open.

I haven't tried it, but I think it would work at dusk or in the dark, as long as your distance isn't too great... Remember, all it does is give you a level -- You would have to measure vertically from the laser line based on the height of the laser at the base.

YES!!! This would make a very good baby monitor. On occasion this lock button will be left on here at my house and I can hear my wife talking on the phone in her study. Hope this answers your question. Jim S.

I would not recommend this intercom for use as a baby monitor. This unit would be difficult to move or relocated within a room. A baby monitor would be much easier to locate closer to the baby crib etc.

I use this device for investigation purposes at work where i plug the camera to a DVR and program the IP address & DNS setting so i can remotely monitor. It is NOT great in the dark as it isnt designed for that. You may look into IR cameras for that.

The night light sensor does work. It turns off there is light around it. However the night light is really bright!

You can hear the baby as well as see him/her. I have tried this and another monitor from this company and was very dissatisfied. I currently use the Motorola video monitor made for babies r us and aside from a battery charging problem I love it. The main reason I love it is you can move the camera around to see the baby(especially when they start moving around the crib) from the monitor. Good luck!

I think it would be perfect for such a use. They throw a fair amount of light at a short distance, so reading should be fine. I don't agree with the other users who said it's very low light. It would be way too bright as a night-light (IMO). It's not going to light up a room, but a kid doesn't need a lot of light for bedtime reading.
