You deserve it
It’s my first baby camera, and it did surprised me! I was awaken by the camera’s sound detection system because of my husband’s snoring!! The sound detection and motion detection are so sensitive, that way I don’t need to worry about it when my baby comes! It’s easy to install and the wifi connection are good. It also has the app that I can use if I’m not around the screen. Also the night time view is clear enough for me! Anyway, it’s a good product with this price.

Very bad product. Save your money!
This is going to be a long review, but it’s extremely necessary so that others don’t go through the negative experience I had.Last year, my company gifted me the BabyMood Pro. I found the concept quite interesting and was very excited about my gift. As soon as I received it, I tried pairing the camera, and it didn’t work. I contacted support, and they asked me to go through a series of steps that I had already done. Still, it didn’t work. They kept insisting I was doing something wrong, but I wasn’t. Even feeling uncomfortable, I had to ask my boss to return the camera and send a new one.The new camera worked; however, six months later, the power button sunk in and stopped functioning—meaning the camera stayed on 100% of the time. The “screen time” option, which automatically shuts off the screen after a set time, also didn’t work. I reached out to support again, and they decided to send a new parent unit.Six months after receiving the replacement, the same problems happened again: the screen won’t turn off automatically, and the power button sank once more. I contacted support again, and now they told me I could buy a new parent unit because there was no warranty after one year.I decided to buy a new kit on Amazon just so I could leave a review. Surprisingly, they didn’t even send the correct product—not that I cared since I was going to return it anyway—but it just shows how unreliable this company is.In addition to the bad screen not auto-locking despite being set to do so and the sinking power button, here are some other cons:- The battery lasts less than six hours- There’s no clock on the monitor, which is quite strange since that’s such a common feature- The mobile app almost never works. It takes a long time to update and display the camera image. Not to mention, sometimes it just bugs out and crashes.For this price, it’s a much inferior product compared to others available on the market! Save your money and a bunch of headaches.I also ordered another one, half of the price and with much more features! So I recommend you to look into another brands

Peace of mind
I am so happy I got this, it provides a lot of comfort being able to see my baby. I use the monitor not the app. I have a hard time getting the app to work correctly. The camera just says it’s loading all the time. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this is just a bug. Everything else works great but the camera not working well on the app is a big problem. The clip for the monitor only goes so far due to the fact it needs to be plugged in. This isn’t an issue for me as I have an outlet right by my baby’s crib. The battery on the actual monitor screen lasts a good amount of time. I keep it plugged in when it’s in my room. The range is great on the monitor, I can go all the way to my mailbox which is about 200-300 feet away from my condo. The night vision is very clear and any movement can be picked up. I love how clear and crisp the picture is. There’s a bit of a lag but that was to be expected. It’s worth the money if the app isn’t that important. All you do is plug it in and connect the camera and you’re good to go. picks up all sounds which I like, I can close a door downstairs and it will pick it up. The clamp doesn’t go very wide but it will fit on the bar of a standard crib. I would recommend this monitor.

Must have
Great monitor with a flexible neck, sturdy clamp and its own screen to carry around. Setup process was very easy and straightforward. I was able to get helpful customer support in the app immediately. If you use one account on the app you have four users viewing the camera. There’s also a feature to share a one-time code to give others temporary remote access for ten minutes. Overall, it’s a very unique camera compared to what’s on the market and I highly recommend.

J’ai eu deux autres modèles avant celui-ci et c’est celui pour lequel je suis la plus satisfaite! Belle image de jour comme de nuit, belle sensibilité au son. Couvre une vision large!

This is an average (or somewhat decent, depending upon what your needs are) baby monitor system (or whatever else you wanna monitor) that’s reasonably well made and works right outta box without any issues whatsoever; however, there is certain level of delay/latency for the video and the audio and it does seem choppy at best. With that being said, it does work just fine as a monitoring tool but if you want HD (even at 720p) video of the baby, well, this is NOT gonna cut it. It supports a max of 4 cameras (sold separately) should you need it.≡ Physical buildThe physical build quality is reasonably decent without any visible defects or any other quality related issues which I occasionally find amongst products such as this. The camera is powered by the provided clamp that has a built-in battery (or a battery with a built-in clamp) and it can be changed via USB-C; however, the camera itself has a male USB-A connector ONLY without a USB-C port; not that it’d do much good anyway even if does have one since it’s difficult to make use of the camera without the cam as it doesn’t stand on its own and there is no way to orient it, even with a gooseneck, with the clamp base. Btw, the clamp base has a 3000 mAh battery (claimed).On the other hand, the monitor/display does have a built-in battery rated at 3000 mAh (claimed) and it can be charged via USB-C which I do appreciate although it’s not something to write home about at this point in time. Both the camera and the monitor/display (aka parent unit) can be used while they are being charged.The reception is average (even at close proximity to each other) in comparison to most others that I’ve come and reviewed (more than a dozen so far) so this may or may not work for you depending upon your individual needs with respect the video quality. It makes no claims to the maximum distance supported (between the camera and the monitor) but it uses the 2.4GHz band (proprietary Wi-Fi 4).Btw, it does come with 2x USB-A/C cables along with 2x USB wall chargers that have UL safety certification, which is great.≡ OperationsThe user interface is reasonably intuitive and it’s easy to work with all the buttons and whatnot. A number of settings can be adjusted including brightness, audio sensitivity, screen timeout, multi-camera view (supports a max of 4), temp monitoring, 2 way talk, night vision, and music play etc. All of these are typical and common features that I’ve seen on other units although relatively few have the ability to play melodies etc. However, the video quality is below average in comparison to most others although it does have a 2MP camera (or so it claims).It’s also NOT clear to me what the frame rate is (most others do provide that info) and it’s NOT very high, again, based on what I’ve seen so far because the video appears to be choppy a lot more frequently than others that I’ve come across but that could also be due to poor reception. In any event, the overall video quality isn’t what I would say as being ‘good’ at this point in time. The color reproduction is reasonably decent; not great but more than adequate (not that it matters as a baby cam I suppose but it’s still good to know) but the latency issues has put a damper on things.≡ NoteUnlike the vast majority of others that I’ve come across and reviewed, this particular one does NOT support pan/tilt and instead it comes with a gooseneck. While a gooseneck is certainly helpful in many cases, it’s not even comparable to cameras with panning and tilting capabilities. As such, I’d say this is the stripped down or lite version of those that do support pan/tilt.In addition, the monitor/display is only 720p so the quality on the parent unit isn’t exactly great although it’s still more than sufficient in most cases for baby monitoring.###I should also mention that although the buttons work reasonably well, they really aren’t the best and that’s just disappointing especially when comparing to most others that DO have much better design for the bottoms that are easier to work with and navigate etc.≡ Other featuresIt doesn’t have any other advanced features that most others having including PTZ (panning/tilting) but it does have digital zoom although it’s not specified what the zoom level is (but I suspect it’s just 2x/3x). However, it does have features such as screen auto-timeout, timer, and 2-way talk which absolutely help (though it might not work that well for the, well, stubborn type).In addition, it does come with a gooseneck and a clamp with built-in battery that few others have (for the camera) and it’s working well given the circumstance (not counting the fact that it doesn’t have pan/tilt that is), and that’ certainly point in its favor (i.e. with a built-in battery). Last but not least, it has a kickstand as well as an external antenna for better reception like most others but the antenna doesn’t really work that well I’m afraid.≡ ValueAll things considered, this is a somewhat decent [baby] monitor that works moderately well with an average video quality, below average display, intuitive menu, and below average reception. Some of the issues aforementioned may or may not be a concern for you depending upon your particular use case and needs; however, it does have a rather steep price of $250 and that’s at least 40-60% more dough than others with a 1080p display/parent unit AND a pan/tilt capable camera although the camera isn’t battery powered like this one is.Nonetheless, I’m not entirely certain if this is a cost effective option or even an alternative (if you are looking for battery-powered camera) given what I’ve seen thus far. Btw, the app is junk and I wouldn’t let ’em mine my precious data and possibly videos of my little one so the app isn’t even an option to me but you might feel differently about the app and the choice is of course yours. Your mileage might vary.
