Big Brands Should Take Note.
Best baby purchase hands down. Looking to replace our Summer Infant dinosaur of a monitor, we wanted a non-WIFI, preferably a dual screen, 2+ camera monitor, with dual audio capability where somehow we'd be able to see and hear 2 rooms at ones. We now have a 6 week old, with a 2 year old we still want to keep an eye on and don't want to have to choose a favorite kid.
After looking everywhere and at everything, we bought this monitor solely based on the reviews, which were substantially higher than all the big brands. The only thing stopping us at first was the unavailability of extra cameras that could be bought separately, but at the $75 price tag and the high reviews we wanted to give it a try.
We bought 2 of these monitors almost a week ago, assuming we can sync the cameras to one handset and keep the extra unit as back up. We were right.
For $150 we now have a 2 camera monitor, that has every feature we were looking for.
It zooms, pans in zoom mode, has a mode where the screen swaps between rooms automatically every 10 seconds or you can just leave it on either camera if you have one kid napping, detects sound automatically depending on the sensitivity mode you choose, has an ECO mode that shuts the monitor off (at night for example) to save battery until either camera detects sound and flips to that camera.
It's small, super light, fully charged in 1-2 hours and lasted the actual 8 hours it says it should with continuous use. The small screen doesn't feel like a small screen, because the resolution is awesome in normal or zoom mode. The two way talk feature is nice to have as well, with a fairly clear sound.
There are other features that we don't really use, like the alarm you can set for 2, 4 or 6 hours out to remind you of something and 4 prerecorded lullabies you can play.
The only thing I'd change is the kickstand, it could be a bit less flimsy, but it's least important.
We're debating about waiting for the extra cameras to come out for sale or just buying another whole monitor while it's $75. Even at $75 for a whole set, for what this monitor features, it's a steal. Most big brand monitors sell the additional cameras alone for $75+/each.
We absolutely LOVE this monitor.
