It works pretty well September 8, 2010 Angela V. This monitor works well for a visual, however the sound is not constantly functioning until our baby cries or makes a loud noise. We have been using a sound monitor as a backup for that reason. The monitor is great otherwise for watching the baby and giving us peace of mind.
Soooo disappointed September 5, 2010 carissa castaldo 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We just purchased this monitor from Fryes after not being able to secure the Philips Video monitor amazon. I could not be more disappointed. First of all, I was not impressed by the construction after taking it out of the box. It is very bulky and light, feels very cheaply made. Second of all, the moment we turned on the monitor, our Wifi was GONE!! So much for no interference. My husband works with computers and is also just as disappointed. False advertising for sure. Lastly, the VOX settings and automute are inconsistent. I slept in my babies room with the monitor last night just to see how it picks up the sounds, with VOX and without. Neither setting was consistent. I am not the kind of parent that needs to hear my baby breathing through a monitor, but I do like to catch my baby for night feedings before a full-on cry. We will be returning this monitor back to Fryes asap. The pros, although they do not level out the cons for me, are; excellent night vision and lullaby option. I would not suggest this monitor to anyone at all...
Good unit for the price September 5, 2010 Phil After looking at several monitors I picked the this one,I'm a grandparent and set for the babies a lot.
This unit gives us very good view and sound when they are napping.
There are a couple of set backs from the monitor I don't care for and that is that the voice activation is not so you can choose to have it on or voice activated, just the sound activation. This makes us uneasy because we are not sure if it is working properly or not. Sleeping light is normal with babies around, so we like to hear all sounds coming from the sleeping areas. Also it would be nice if the camera could be rotated from the base, we set for our two year old grandson and sometimes he get out of the cameras view. Beside that we really like the monitor and would recommend it. This would also work well with the elderly.
Its a great video monitor! September 1, 2010 M. Shah (Oxford, Mississippi USA) The only issue I have with it is, although they say it is interference free, it seems to interfere with our wireless connection and cell phone. Otherwise, really good - love the lullaby feature. I would not have my baby sleep in his room if not for this monitor.
NOT 'Interference Free' September 1, 2010 MamaBear (Santa Clarita, CA) Got this as a gift at our babyshower and I was excited to use it with our new baby. Unfortunately it did not live up to our expectations. It has constant interference problems with our WiFi!! Because of this we do not have any audio and can not use the Vox feature that turns the monitor ON when the baby cries. The only reason it received any stars is because the remote lullaby feature has proved to be handy and the video quality is decent. I wish that we had registered for a different monitor. We will be trying to return it to the manufacturer.
