Motorola MBP853CONNECT Dual Mode Baby Monitor with 3.5-Inch LCD Parent Monitor and Wi-Fi Internet Viewing

Use as a standalone camera and happy, but read on.
Read all the reviews, and compared all the cameras. I consider myself VERY tech savvy but did want a camera that was easy to operate for non-tech folks. Camera is very easy to setup – up and running in minutes using provided instructions. Wanted a camera that pans/tilts, zooms, temperature, phone app, remote/web viewing. Video recording and 2 way voice communication was on my wish list, but not deal makers. Built-in lullabies are ‘electronic’ versions of common songs, and sound ok.At first was very upset with the purchase. Previous negative reviews held true. Then after approx 1 week. the following happend:1) Firmware on camera was auto-updated (camera automatically talked to Motorola server for update, was unaware this was going to happen until it did)2) iPhone app was updatedsince then, almost everything works great.Here are the problems/issues at present:1) IMHO, the camera is choppy on public wifi. Works great over cellular. Works perfect on local/home wifi. There is a delay on the video, and in my experience is it <5 sec and usually 1-2 sec on local wifi, and only a tad longer over cellular.2) Remote viewing outside of wifi uses Motorola server as a middle-man. Occasionally server is not accessible, and will give outage for 10-30 minutes. No prior notification is provided via email, website, or other method that this is going to occur.3) Phone app shows an option to buy Motorola's cloud recording service. This is ever-present. Also frequently receive emails to buy/try cloud service.4) 2 way intercom is horrible - as works on an intercom / walkie-talkie method of communication (unlike cell phones). Would not use this as a selling point, but it is present if needed/desired.Overall still happy with purchase and will probably buy another if needed.

Disappointing at best.
My Wife and I were initially excited about this product. Motorola is such a great company, and the video quality in the demos online looked great. Unfortunately, our newborn spent the first few months sleeping in our room so we didn’t begin using the monitor until close to the end of our return and warranty window.At first, it worked flawlessly. It was easy to setup, connected to our WiFi network without a single hitch, and was fun to use. The camera quality was probably average at best (I’ve seen other monitors since that are amazeballs!), but seeing our little guy sleeping there and being able to zoom in and see him breathing was next level. Then, the sound on the handheld unit stopped working. Like anyone today, I immediately tried troubleshooting the issue online. I found a number of people with my same issue, all of whom managed to stop by Radio Shack and then solder up a new speaker. Forget that! I was still within the warranty period so I bailed on the online tutorials and went direct to Motorola.It took me a few hours to find and get a hold of the right people at Motorola, but once I did they sent a new handheld unit – no questions asked. In fact, it arrived in just 2-days. Upon setting it up, we never could quite get it to recognize Camera 1, so we had to pair our camera as a second camera with the handheld. Once that was done, we were back in business! The links we had added to the camera in the app didn’t have to be reset either. We could track motion and watch from our phones, tablets or desktops just like before.Then the oddest thing began happening. A few weeks went by and the handheld unit began dropping its connection to the camera. It mostly happened in the middle of the night. We’d be waken up by it chirping at us. No problem though, power-cycle the camera and we’d be back online. I should note, our Internet connection and WiFi router are in the baby’s room, so they’re literally only feet away from the camera. We also live in a one-floor condo, that’s probably only 1,200 square foot – so it’s not like the camera or handheld unit are ever really that far apart. Yet, night after night, the unit would lose its connection to the camera.Shortly after that became common, the camera would cease to emit a WiFi signal. We’d be unable to move the camera with the handheld unit, and the camera would appear ‘Offline’ in the iPhone app. The process to reset the camera became somewhat of a joke. You couldn’t just power-cycle the camera because after the ‘warm up’ it would begin flashing red. Holding down the ‘pair’ button for 3-5 seconds as instructed would initiate the pairing process, the app would find the camera, but it would not emit a WiFi signal (indicated by the intermittent flashing of red and blue). Eventually the camera would say, “setup failed” and the camera would go offline. So, back to the Internet.Apparently this is a common problem, and easily remedied. Simply turn the camera off, hold down ‘pair’ and turn the camera on. Continue holding ‘pair’ until the camera resets. Then, enter the pairing mode and run setup again. The first couple times this worked. Once, after that, I had to delete the camera from the iPhone app and re-add it like a new camera.This became common behavior after a couple weeks. I mean, I’m pulling down over 100 megabits in that room, and the WiFi signal strength is amazing, but the app would still warn me that the WiFi signal was weak. The camera would also quit emitting a WiFi signal whenever it wanted. Sure, we could still hear through the handheld unit, but we could no longer use any of the other functions such as move the camera to find our baby in his crib.So, here’s the fix should this happen to you. You can reset the camera by turning it off, then holding down ‘pair’ and turning it back on – holding ‘pair’ until you hear the camera reset. After it resets, and after the warm up, you can try pairing it again. This will work after you’ve done it 12-24 times. There’s no logic to it either. I once went through the process 18 times, re-paired the camera (but not the WiFi connection) and quit messing with it out of frustration, only to come home from work a day later and it had fixed itself. On another occasion I removed the power cord from the camera, reset my router, reset the camera 9 times, finally got it to emit a WiFi signal and paired it without problem. It worked for a couple days! Other times, it will completely quit and fail to broadcast anything to the handheld. If this happens, you can usually turn the handheld unit on and off 2-6 times and fix it.In the end, we had to call Motorola again. They’re sending a new camera, so at least their customer service has been great.

I liked how easy it was to connect to the app and monitor multiple cameras. Just wish it cost less.
