Product highlights
Zoom
One of the best things about this device is its zoom features. It is one of the few baby cameras, which comes with a x2 zoom feature. If you want to zoom in on your baby or any other object, you can easily do it , without compromising on the image quality.
Range
It also has a good range. As per the company, if there are no walls or any other disturbances in between, the range is 750 feet. Even if there are some disturbances, the range will still be around 500 ft. Hence, even if you own a large house, you can use it.
Battery Life
The battery life is one of the main strengths of this product. If you are using the PEEP mode, then you will get a battery life of 48 hours. Because when you turn on the PEEP mode, the monitor goes into sleep, if the camera fails to detect any sound. However, even if you don't turn the PEEP mode on, you will still get a battery life of around 12 hours, which is more than enough.
Easy to Use
One of the best things about this product is its user friendly features. When you open it for the first time, you should be able to automatically link the monitor and the cameras. However, even if it doesn't automatically link, you can do it manually as well. You will also be given a guidebook where pictorial instructions are given. And if you are still not able to get it, you can visit their website , where the instructions are given in details.
2-Way Communication
Because of this feature, you can talk to your baby anytime you want. If your baby is getting restless or is unable to sleep, you can sing a song and calm him or her down. It comes with 3 lullabies as well, which you can play any time. The sound quality is also top notch.
Temperature Sensors
It also comes equipped with temperature sensors. From the parent unit, you will get to know the temperature in your baby's room and whether he or she is having any difficulty or not.
Smart Indicator Ring
The unique thing about this device is the presence of the smart indicator ring. It changes color as per the intensity of your baby's voice. For example, if your baby is whispering, a blue color light blinks. Orange color means that your baby is chatting. And red color means that your baby is shouting or crying loudly.
What We Don't Like
However, in spite of all the great features, there are some minor defects. For example, you won't be able to pan or tilt the camera. As a result, you have to place the camera at the exact position before using it. The screen size is also 3.5 inches.
Although most people prefer a 5 inch screen, but for baby monitoring purposes, a 3.5 inch screen should be good enough. And the screen clarity is also good. Hence, these are all minor flaws and shouldn't stop you from purchasing the monitor. (See other baby monitors)
What Other People Think
This product has been a major hit among the parents. And almost all of them are happy with it so far. The Smart Notification Ring is one of the most liked features. Many people have also purchased this because of its good range.
If you are looking for an affordable baby monitor with all the necessary features, then you will love this product.
