We love this baby monitor

We love this baby monitor, however, the small clip that attaches to our baby came with a crack and there is no way to reach the seller directly to fix this issue.  We would have to return the entire monitor and then wait for a new one (which we didn't want to do, b/c we didn't want to go a week with a newborn without the breathing monitor//baby monitor). I would still like a replacement sent to me if at all possible for whomever is reading this review. Thus the 4 store, instead of 5 star, review.

Love this little clock/temperature/humidity gage for our baby's bedroom. We were worried about knowing how warm it was in there in the summer and how cool in the winter. The smiley face is a great touch. My only wish is that it had a backlight to it. It's impossible to read it when checking on the baby at night.

This works very well as a baby monitor - you can even take photos!  The customer/tech support is fantastic. Christine Banks responded within minutes to my e-mail for assistance with resetting my password.  I am completely satisfied.  The quality is far superior to mainstream baby monitors.  This is the only monitor for me!

Great product! Using as a baby monitor, works fantastic! Convenient to view with the app and has everything I need. Cant believe it only costs $60, highly recommended

This has been an awesome baby monitor for us & our firstborn who is now 7 months old. I only got a video monitor because a mom friend recommended it over just an audio monitor & I'm SO glad we did! We have a large 3-story home so it's incredibly convenient when we hear him make a noise to just look & see if he's actually awake or just cooing in his sleep without having to go all the way up to his room & risk waking him up by sneaking in :) We haven't had any problems with signal interference, though I should say we live on about 30 acres of land with no immediate neighbors. When I switch channels I can vaguely see another monitor's image but it's too fuzzy to really make anything out. Every now & then if I leave my cell phone too close it can make the picture wobbily, but that's it. I like the volume controls so I can turn it up & hear it while I'm in another room without having to unplug it & take with me. In fact we even plug it in & set it in an open window while grilling out & I can hear perfectly when my son makes any noise! The night vision feature is great too since we keep his nursery very dark. I would highly recommend this monitor, no complaints here!

A month ago I had my fourth child and we got this from a friend.  For my other children we used bassinets or had them spend significant time in the swing (we have a pretty nice sideways moving swing).  I am so glad we have this and I wish we had gotten it earlier.  We never use our swing or crib, it seems like, because this little device is so convenient.

1. It is super lightweight and easy to pick up, even if the baby is in it.  We can put her to sleep in it in one room and then move her while she sleeps very easily.

2. This holds her a little bit upright.  As a result we have had very little throwing up or acid reflux with this baby.  It's hard to compare children because each one is different, but this baby has been sleeping MUCH better than the others did.  Personally I think this sleeper is a major contributor.

3. You can easily rock this just a little bit, which is what babies want.  Typically if I'm doing something else I put my foot on the little bar at the bottom and give her really gentle rocking if she is fussy.

4. Because the bottom is basically cloth, it doesn't get too hot.  Our baby has been quite comfortable in it.

5. It folds up easily.  We don't typically do that because it's pretty small and because we use it so very often.

6. Very simple design.  The cloth comes off pretty easily to be cleaned.

We don't use the vibration feature.  If our baby needed more rocking than we can easily provide in this, we'd move her into the swing.

Our swing is pretty nice and we have a nice crib for her, but this is what we always use.  You can set it next to your bed to get to her quickly, or move her out into the hall if you want to be able to hear her crying but not every little sound she makes in her sleep.

We really love this product.  It kind of makes all the other things we have purchased obsolete.  There are probably other models with about the same design that don't have vibration built in that would be equally good, though.  We got this for free.  Though we love it, I'm a little disappointed by how much it costs new.

It is the perfect surveillance camera! Very easy to install and use. We got it half month ago. We  have purchased many other IP cameras to monitor our baby's bedroom at night . However, my wife and i am not very satisfied with them. At last we decided to try this camera. It is a relatively easy installation that has security features to ensure safety of use. It is excellent. We used it as the baby monitor. We can view her by our mobile phone, Ipad, PC remotely, and no need go to her room. It makes my wife and me can keep the eye on my one year old baby when she should be in a sleep. The camera works well. It has a good picture and night vision-even in the pitch black. We will don't worry about her when we are not at her home.

Follow is how to set up the camera:
1. Plug in power adapter and ethernet cable
2. Enter google play or app store to download app
3. Scan QR code to add camera then you can view

It exceed what we want. We like it very much. We will purchase one more in near future and  recommend it for more people.

We purchased a Nest camera to use as a baby monitor when we transitioned our 5-month-old into her own bedroom. Although the Nest is not designed for this specific purpose, we LOVE using it as a monitor and plan to use it as a security camera when we no longer need it for our baby. We have been using it for three months. There are a few downsides (see below) to plan for but the Pros by far outweigh the Cons in our view.
Pros:
-The night vision is incredibly clear on our Nest. We have it hanging right above our baby's crib and can clearly see her regardless of the amount of light in her room.
-The phone alerts make it so easy to tell when our baby wakes from her naps and from sleep. We can be a floor away, get an alert, and pull up the camera to decide whether we should give her a minute to self-soothe or go upstairs to get her. In the morning, when I am sleeping lightly anyway, my phone vibrates with a Nest alert and I know the baby is starting to stir.
-We appreciate that Nest doesn't necessitate lugging an additional device around to monitor our baby since it works through our phones.
-When one or both of us is away from home and there is another caregiver with her we can still access our Nest to check in on naps, etc.
-When the app is opened the audio is crystal clear. We know if she is babbling, crying, or stirring. Since we sleep in a room close enough to hear her without a monitor at night, we LOVE that we don't have the sounds of a full-time audio monitor blaring into our bedroom (see Con below).

Cons:
-There is no "full time" audio function with the Nest since it was not initially designed as a baby monitor. As a result, if you want to "listen" to what is happening in the baby's room, you have to go into the app on your phone to tune in. This is a potential downfall for anyone who does not sleep in a bedroom close enough to hear their baby's cries without the aid of a monitor. The workaround for this is to turn your alerts on high when you go to bed, but then you are alerted every time there is a minor noise which may get annoying considering how many noises babies make at night that don't necessitate you waking up. So, if you want a monitor that allows you full-time hearing access in their room without turning on the app this may not be for you.
-It definitely looks like a camera (duh) and considering our baby's room is mostly neutral-colored it does stand out. The white cam might have been a little better but this is a minor issue and the camera does not take away from the overall aesthetic of the room.

Love it. I use it as a baby monitor and we all know how much those things cost. This is way better. We watch the baby from our phones or laptops, and have it set to record everything, alerts when there's movement...all of the things baby monitors do, but for $35 lol

Our Dropcam was one of the most useful purchases for our one-year old child. We have ours on the dresser of his nursery, and for a room that's about 8'x10', we get a clear shot of his crib, as well as about 60% of the rest of the room. Dropcam works great both during day and night, the night vision is particularly useful since we can monitor our baby without having to turn on the lights. Using Dropcam made sleep training our son tremendously easier, and has given us a peace of mind we never expected. At night, we'll even leave one of our cell phones on just to have the live feed running, the mic is sensitive enough to pick up the slightest whimper.

Dropcam comes with the camera, an adjustable stand, a USB cable and an AC adapter. While Dropcam markets setup in under 60 seconds, it did take several tries to get the WiFi up and running, so be prepared for a little frustration. Once on your WiFi network, it's portability shines--you simply unplug the camera, move it to any room you want, plug it in, and it just works. With the camera in one hand, and a smartphone running the app in the other, it's easy to set up a satisfactory shot.

The DVR functionality is great--we've subscribed to the 7-day feed. The DVR feature is accessible through a web browser or mobile app, and consists of a slider with markers for when it detects motion (web), or a list of activities for when it detects motion (mobile app). Either method provides a slick interface with a simple learning curve. And while we're not exactly thrilled about paying a monthly fee, it's handy to see when our baby wakes, and when we go in to check up on him. This feature makes it a great device for other features. You can set it up in your living room to watch your home while you're away, set it up to watch your pets, or to keep an eye on your driveway.

A couple of minor gripes, there is a slight lag from anywhere to 2-5 seconds from when action takes place and when you see it on your PC or mobile app. And, of course, there's the somewhat steep price and afore mentioned monthly fee. But for a slick device that's easy to use once it's up and running and provides an elegant solution to peace of mind, Dropcam is an incredible purchase that I whole-heartedly recommend.

We have this set up on the changing table, just sort of propped up between the back rail and the changing pad.  The baby really loves the mirror; he stares at it while we change him.  When he was still just a few weeks old and hated diaper changes with a screaming passion, we set this up and it immediately did the trick.  We can move it to the end so he can look at it during post-bath naked tummy time on the changing table.  He even stares at the polka-dotted ribbons!  If he gets fretful during longer changes, we can turn it around to the picture side and he is excited to see something new.  This is a nice item--lightweight, basic, and a big help.

Returned out fancy more expensive baby monitor for this one because the app is better. Works great with the iPhone 6s, has been reliable so far. It's nice to have the audio in the background on the phone while searching the web/amazon/playing games. We are able to leave an older iPad mini up all day in our living room kitchen area and still use are phone as monitors at the same time.  Speaker quality is nice for a camera. It's nice being able to load our own music. Wish it played the music more reliable, some times it freezes or shuts off.

Love this monitor ... we were alerted to some air quality issues in our home and purchased the Awair.  This allowed us to monitor our levels and make changes to enhance the different factors of our air quality.  We really love the fact we can see the readout on our phone and see the trend for each component.  We would highly recommend the Awair to anyone wanting to monitor the air their family is living in each and every day.

I want to preface this with: This is not the exact model we have.  I am not able to find our model on Amazon, but it is still available from other websites.  This model is the most current model and ours in two years old - but it's the same thing.  With that said.... We have used this product every day of our daughters life and she is almost 2 years old. I have ZERO complaints. If I would have known there was a protector sleeve to put the handheld monitor in, I would've got that from the beginning. Between it falling off a table/couch or my daughter playing with it, the handheld part has some bumps and bruises. But it still works just fine! It was super easy to install and we have had ZERO problems. I came back and decided to write this review while I'm looking to buy another video piece since we are expecting our new addition this year and want a video for each of the kiddos. You can add up to 4 cameras total for the handheld... so one for each baby, one for the playroom with room to grow! And it's easy to click through each camera view on the handheld so you can quickly check each camera. I'm hoping that I will still be able to buy an extra video and they're not discontinued or something. The picture is clear, the sound is great - even in the middle of the night, I can see my baby clear as day. I haven't used any other video monitors so I cannot compare, but we've had such a great experience with this one I will definiately stay with this line of products!!

This is my 3rd video monitor and the best so far.  I have previously owned 2 different styles of Summer Infant video monitors when our older kids were babies and both stopped working by 18 months and their customer service left much to be desired.  This monitor has worked great for 14 months so far.  The pan feature is useful and the sound is at the desirable function for our needs, other monitors are too loud even at the lowest level.  The screen is difficult to see if there is a medium amount of light in the room, so visibility is best when the room is darkest, or when it is fully bright.  If the room is just a little light, like with curtains drawn but daylight still coming in the image is dark and difficult to see, but you can see enough to know if baby is moving/awake or not.  Not a deal breaker for us.

A huge bonus to this product is the customer service.  At 11 months (right before 1 yr. warranty was up) the pan feature stopped working for left to right panning.  I contacted Motorola via e-mail and they responded the same morning.  They offered a suggestion to try to take a soft brush to the camera in case any dust or dirt was getting in the way of the panning function.  I did that and it didn't work, however the next week we went away for a few days and took the monitor with us and the movement of traveling must have knocked the dirt loose because the pan started working again and hasn't stopped working since.  Their customer service was extremely prompt, helpful, and also were ready to have me return the item if their fix hadn't solved the problem.  I went back and forth on e-mail 3 times with Motorola all in the course of one morning.  I would use their products again. (and will never buy a Summer Infant video monitor again.)
