We got this monitor to replace our infant optics which was already on its last life and showing a terrible picture. Overall I'm very happy with the replacement purchase. The quality of this video is unmatched. We can see so clearly! The main two downsides: 1. Low sound. Compared to the infant optics this is so quiet at the highest volume, but I think it just takes time getting used to. We have a sound machine in my daughter's room and the old monitor picked up the white noise, this one doesn't. At first I hated that but I'm kind of used to it now. I can hear her when she's crying but if she's just talking it's hard to hear. 2 - battery life sucks! If you don't mind having a charger around then this is a non issue, but I was expecting longer than 4 hours at least. The only other comments I'll mention... You can't move the camera. Infant optics you can move it with the monitor but this stays in one place once it's mounted. I don't mind this though because the angle is so good that it covers a large portion of what you need. We have it above the crib and it captures the entirety of it! The last thing is the button to turn on the monitor... Most have it at the top but this is on the side and a bit hard to find at times (esp half asleep at night). Overall, these are all minor things that just take getting used to. I'm so happy we got this. We're even tempted to replace my son's one as well (he has hello baby). This monitor never once cut out for us... It doesn't interfere with other monitors. The infant optics constantly did! I would definitely recommend for picture quality. Overall I think it's great value!

Short battery life but good costumer service as I’m allowed to return! I loved everything about it but the portable screen doesn’t last long enough I have to haul the charger with me around the house.

Un mes de uso, y de la nada ya no prende el monitor.

We have been using the owlet camera since she was born and have had a handful of issues with it freezing. Finally had enough & purchased this. Has been AMAZING! We can actually see her, get notifications when she moves or makes noises (if you turn that effect on) and can carry the screen around the house with us. Only downfall is that the battery life of the screen isn’t the best, but we mainly only use it for bedtime so it stays plugged in on our nightstand. We haven’t used our owlet in days & most likely will be giving it away now that we have this!

Great product, clear video and good sound. The built in nightlight is a huge plus as my children don’t like when the room is completely dark. Another great feature is the ability to play lullabies and baby music from the camera base. The range is very decent to keep a clear connection and I love the fact that the connection is NOT over Wi-Fi as it is much more secure just connecting to your personal monitor.I can’t really talk about battery life as it is usually plugged in, but the few times it wasn’t the battery seemed decent enough.I hardly use the 2 way connection as it confuses my baby but my toddler found it fascinating, so that feature may or may not benefit you. My one complaint is that the camera only pans in zoom, so you really can’t see all parts of the room by moving the camera from the monitor. With that being said I still highly recommend this baby monitor as a quality item with many useful features
