Great monitor for working parents
January 10, 2020
Setup: Adding this monitor to the wifi is easy, and the app walks you through it no problem. It's straightforward enough that it only takes about five minutes and so I have no stress about taking the monitor with us when we go to visit friends or family. At home we have the video portion mounted to the wall, but when we travel a pushpin is actually the perfect size to affix the monitor to a wall. No matter what room we're in, we can get a good video of the baby.
Wifi: I love having a wifi monitor specifically so I can check on my baby while I'm at work. My husband also likes this feature. While sleep training, we were able to take a look at him and tell our caregiver if she should pick up the baby or let him fuss to try and go back to sleep. Super helpful. I found our connection to be a bit rough at first, but when we got a better internet package it was great! So if you're looking into any wifi monitor at all, it's best to have a good internet package, but I don't think that's specific to this monitor.
Video and Sound: They are great quality. The video quality is adjustable in the app based on the wifi strength which is nice. Night vision is good, and it can be toggled on and off which I also found helpful. I like that the app alerts me when there is a sound or motion event. When I first set it up, they were by default set to the most sensitive setting so it was a lot of alert but once I realized it was adjustable it was all smooth sailing.
App: My favorite feature on the app is that I can give others some access to the monitor, but not full access. My parents were able to get access to look at him during days where they watch him without any problem. Most settings are highly customizable which is nice.
Audio Unit: I have not made much use of the audio unit because our living space is so small, I can hear the baby without it. When we travel, it's a great tool to have in a two story house, but I've only used it a handful of times.
