HelloBaby Monitor with Camera and Audio,4″ IPS Portable Screen Video Baby Monitor with 26Hrs Battery Life No WiFi,Remote Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera with Night Vision,2-Way Talk and 1000ft Range

Much better than the expensive video monitors!
I bought this “cheap” baby monitor for my third child when our much more expensive video monitor broke down (none seem to last very long). I figured he was already two, I really only needed it to hear him overnight (he rarely gets up) and see if he’s trying to climb out of his crib. I’ve had 3 other quite expensive video monitors for my children (now ages 9, 5, and 2) and I cannot believe I wasted money on any of them now that I have this one!! This is an excellent monitor: the camera movement is generous, the picture is clear whether it’s daytime/night-vision, the zoom works well, and the battery life is exceptional- far surpassing my others’ battery life! I haven’t tested the range much, though it works from my basement office, all the way up to his bedroom. It also has room temperature and microphone features. I suppose the only con is that when I talk into the microphone to my kids, my older ones have to put the device up to their ear to hear me, though on my end I can hear them loud & clear with plenty of volume adjustability. We don’t need this feature much, so perhaps that’s adjustable too, but I haven’t tried. I highly recommend this- don’t waste your money on the more expensive ones, they aren’t worth it.

Fantastic Monitor, but issues pop up over time
Update update: We ended up having issues with our monitor no longer cutting on. One brief (and quickly answered) email later, and we had a replacement otw to us in less than a business week! We ended up buying a Vtech replacement for the meantime that was $20 more expensive with a monitor half this size and a stationary camera. I didn’t realize how spoiled I was after my Happy Baby setup. For this price range, I don’t think you could choose a better setup.Update:So, going the cheap route has popped up with some issues! While I am still mostly happy with this purchase, the monitor sometimes goes through fits of losing signal. I stay in the room beside the baby and the signal is still strong, but the screen reconnects on and off quite often. Turning the monitor off for a bit seems to help briefly. There is also an issue where the monitor freezes or has a “rolling screen” issue, which I don’t really know how to explain. The image freezes briefly in a purple, black or green color, and then rolls (like movie credits) upwards and then the stream continues as normal. Sometimes this happens multiple times in a row. Additionally, the monitor makes a sound, sort of like a Maraca now, when you pick it up and move it. Lastly, the monitor battery starts to suck after a few weeks. It has to be charged almost every other day now, or just left on the charger.Original:Take this with a grain of salt, as I’ve never used amore expensive monitor, or any other monitor at all for that matter. But why would I need to? This thing is perfect. The image is clear and you can rotate the camera quite extensively. The screen on the monitor is huge and the fact that this doesn’t need any wifi or Bluetooth is great. You just plug it up and then it connects. The battery life is good, the temperature monitoring seems accurate and the connection range suits my needs. Extremely happy with the peace of mind it brings.

Great price and quality
This is a great camera and monitoring system, especially for the price. We have used the much more expensive ones and in comparison we are very happy with this purchase and the comfort it gives us, its ease of use and good range.

Have used camping (with 12v cable for receiver, and mini inverter for camera), awesome settings to be able to pan left/right and up/down.

We’ve had it for a year and it’s worked awesome the cameras have great angles and i love knowing the temp in the room and has great range. Except it stopped charging today so we will see what customer support says and I’ll update my review. But it worked amazing for a year the monitor lasts a very long time and it was always reliable and good video quality and night vision. Update* I contacted customer support and even though I’m slightly over the 1 year they are replacing the monitor system. They were kind and respectful and very prompt with there replies! Definitely gotta love Great customer service!.
