Baby Monitor – 1000ft Long Range Baby Monitor with Camera and Audio No WiFi, Built in 3500mAh Battery,Auto Night Vision, Temperature, 2-Way Talk, 8 Lullabies, 4.3” Screen

Cute monitor
This baby monitor is wonderful. The screen is nice and compact, very manageable and you can carry it everywhere. You can move the camera from the monitor, you can handle the baby’s crying and you can put music on it.

Great image size & sound quality
Very good image & screen size for the price, and great 180° pan + tilt features the only down side is the simple mounting bracket. The way I had to mount it on my apartment exterior next to door, the camera just barely was not able to pan, the right way so the image was flipped so I lost the wide angle benefit. But sound is also very good overall I would suggest buying this monitor & purchasing a 3rd party mounting bracket for it.

Simple camera, nice big monitor
I am overall very satisfied with my new baby monitor. I do not always use a baby monitor anymore, but I like to be able to see my toddler son in his room if needed. My other monitor stopped charging, so I needed a replacement system but didn’t want to spend a lot of money, knowing I wouldn’t need to use it too much longer. This fit the bill perfectly! I am pleasantly surprised with the size of the monitor screen, and the image quality is adequate for my needs. I included 3 photos with my review; I used a toy doll and teddy bear for the photos. One shows the view on night vision (black and white), and the other (colored photo) is during daytime/with the light on. I wanted to share photos with my son in his crib, but I can never remember to get the pics when he is asleep! I think the image quality is more than adequate to be able to check on my son. The sound is also nice and clear for me to be able to hear what he is saying. The third photo I included is of the monitor screen – it is confusing at first bc it appears as a touch screen (but isn’t), but I adjusted to this quickly and the settings are easy to navigate. The one thing that I wish was different is that the camera already is quite zoomed in; I would have preferred it more zoomed out so I can have a better view of his room. I can fix this by mounting it higher, so I’m not worried about it being a problem. Overall, I would definitely recommend this camera system!

If it were any more pricey, we would have sent it back
We got this camera system when it was on sale, and between the already low sale price, and the cupon that was added to it, all told, we purchased this monitor for $49. As the title states, if it had been even $5 more, we would have returned it. We have another monitor system by a company called “iDOO”, and we purchased it on sale for around $65, and for the price we paid, you really cannot ask for a better monitor. We actually purchased this monitor to keep an eye on our 4 year old, as we were and still are dealing with behavioral problems with him, and we need to be able to keep an eye on him even when we cannot be in the same room as him at any given time. One of the things that I like the most about that monitor is the fact that the mounting system is the same as pretty much any security type camera, or even just a digital camera. It is a 1/4 inch female fitting made into the bottom of the unit, and this female fitting allows me to fix the camera upon some mounts that I purchased for security cameras. The mounts are designed for wifi security type cameras, but they are not to different from these baby monitor cameras, save the additional features of the monitors, like temperature monitoring, and noise monitoring, etc. If you hang these cameras from the ceiling, upside down, all you have to do is to also flip the monitor itself upside down as well, and you can still control the camera to where up is up and down is down, and so on and so forth. I have placed bases to these security camera mounts in different rooms of the house, so that if I need to have the camera in a different room from where it is, I can just detach the camera, and the top portion of the mount that stays attached to the camera portion of the monitor system, and re-attach it on the base that is installed on the ceiling in that room. I have these bases installed in positions in each room that allow us to see everywhere in each room with an unobstructed view. The lack of this same female fitting on the bottom of this camera was the first thing that I immediately did not like about this monitor, but that would not be the last. The other things that are sub-par with this monitor are, well, just about everything. Immediately upon turning on the monitor’s screen for the first time, it was apparent that the picture was not going to be nearly as good in quality as our other monitor. It’s difficult to explain, but it’s almost like the good monitor has a picture quality much like your TV screen. But this monitor has an overly grainy quality to it, much like the crappy cameras you might see when viewing the security camera footage at a crappy gas station, if you’ve ever seen anything like that before. (My wife watches quite a bit of ID and Oxygen, so I’ve seen plenty of crappy gas station video feed). Also, once it became night time, we quickly realized that for whatever reason, the night vision for this camera is not nearly as good as it is on the other monitor we own. At times, the room the camera is in is bareley visible at all, and you will have to move the camera around in order to get the picture to improve. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this, though I am assuming it has something to do with the lighting, and turning the camera toward a different direction enables it to get more light or less light, to where you can then at least see the room. Later, we came to find that the camera does the same thing in the day time, and sometimes, during the day, the camera will be black and white like it is in night vision mode, and the camera will need to be moved around. Then there are other times when the light seems to be too much, and that will cause the image to be washed out and the whole screen can just be white. These issues are counter-intuitive to what you are trying to achieve when purchasing one of these such monitors to begin with, as I’m sure you can well imagine. It is for these reasons that I cannot in good conscience, recommend this monitor to anyone, especially for something as important and crucial as keeping an eye on your little ones. If you are looking for a monitor to keep eyes on your kiddos, look somewhere else. Unless your budget is so low that nothing else is feasible, in which case I would encourage you to just check on your little one constantly and spend your hard earned money on something else that will work properly and that you will not feel let down with. If you need a monitor at a good price, keep an eye on the monitor system by iDOO. They go on sale quite often, and you may even get lucky and find one that is an open box or “used” but in very good to excellent condition.

Works well and cheap but good quality.

I have a 7 year old daughter that is special needs and this works really well to keep an eye on the mayhem she creates at night! I would recommend to hang it on the ceiling or wall as the cool RTD2 function needs space to spin to different angles and while I originally bought to put on a shelf, quickly learnt that wouldn’t work well.The parent screen keeps a charge for a long time. Keep in mind as well that the plug ins are barrel and not a usb plug in. Overall, great to use, set up was fairly easy and it works for my needs!
