720P HD 5" Screen Video Baby Monitor Two-Way Audio 360° Wide View Angle and Full Coverage with Night Vision and Temperature Monitoring
SKU: GW50.0026US
I am very happy with the purchase of this baby monitor. It is very easy to install. Night vision, Picture quality and zoom function is great. It also can tell the baby room’s temperature and has lullabies as well. The best part is that it doesn’t need WiFi to connect. I replaced my old cheap camera which was giving me trouble due to WiFi connectivity and also it used to keep my phone busy. Now I have peace of mind, I can see him anytime when he is sleeping with the baby monitor and I can work without worries. I really loved it.

Easy to set up and easy to navigate UI. Has worked flawlessly so far. Helps us focus working from home. If I ever have to leave the room I can just take the monitor with me.

Have been using this for a week now with good results overall and a few things that could be improved. Overall solid and easy solution to keep an eye on a baby with a dedicated viewing tablet so your mobile/tablet can go back to doing other things.SetupOut of the box, takes all of 2 min to get set up; plug the interchangeable power adapter to camera and viewing tablet, power on tablet and you're up and running in no time. Note to put them apart so you don't get a feedback loop with the audio. This is a common pain point with all monitor systems.RangeCamera works on direct RF connection with the tablet so there is no app or wifi sharing; this is a good thing if you're concerned about yet another company having your wifi credential and security concerns that comes with that. Range is really good, was able to walk about 150+ ft away from the house and still maintained connection. Should not be an issue under normal usage conditions; monitor up/down stairs, from the yard, etc. For reference, my wifi range drops before this does.PicturePicture is clear at 720P and usable with the display unit, although 1080P might be just a tad sharper but the picture detail is limited to the display size so 720P is a good match and for primary purposes of keeping an eye on a baby this should be fine. Nice functionality to see temp in the camera room too. Pan and tilt work great so far and the tilt has good angles, was able to put on a shelf and tilt down far enough to see into the crib. Haven't tried inverting or wall mounting to see if the picture auto adjusts for direction.I've used 480/720/1080 IP cams for monitoring duty, 480 was fine to see general detail and movement, 720 was much sharper, and 1080 just allowed for more zoom on a mobile phone. The resolution makes much more difference on an IP cam as you could cast the camera video to a TV display and now the extra detail is more valuable. IP cams are a whole different ball game with more complex setup and security risks but more flexible use case scenarios of course, record, playback, etc.AudioAudio pickup is on par, and it's just as loud as a regular audio monitor and the display does include a mic for a 2 way conversation or shushing in the middle of night.Tablet displayViewing angles are fine but not the greatest compared to using a top end mobile phone/tablet as a display. it does come with a kickstand and the battery does seem to last for hours as needed. Controls are intuitive enough to set temp C/F, adjust brightness, volume, and even manage multiple camera's. Would be nice if the buttons lit up when you're checking on things in the dark.EnhancementsHigher res camera and display would be welcomed along with backlit buttons. The other item would be the power ports, would be great to have native micro usb ports on both so you could power from battery packs on the go. Right now, a quick visit to family or friends where the little one goes down for a nap requires finding a nearby outlet to plug in the camera, the display can run on battery. I ordered a USB to 3.5x1.35mm barrel port cable to see if i could power the camera from a battery pack. Will see if this works and enhances the use case scenario. The ease of setup would be enhanced and make the package easily portable for travel.CompetitionThis is a dedicated video unit vs. rolling your own solution with IP camera (Nest, Arlo, Amcrest, Foscam, etc.). I started with Foscam 480P cameras with a dedicated app; the whole thing is more flexible with motion detect and remote access but presents an inherent network security risk. Rolling my own DVR with a pc was next and became more secure with recording options. Takes a good bit of research and investment (dedicated PC, hard drives, etc.) to set up for general purpose/security use and overkill if all you want is a decent clear picture of the baby with sound both ways. If you want to eventually transition your video equipment to general purpose use, an IP cam system will have more legs in the long run but if you want simple video and range this can't be beat.EditCamera does not adjust for wall or inverted mounting, picture on monitor just stays in original orientation. Did receive a 3.5mm x 1.35mm to usb cable and it's working fine with one of many USB battery packs i have laying around, now we have a truly portable solution! Hmm wonder if i can find a clamp of some sorts too to make it a clip on arrangement with portable usb power.

This camera does exactly what I need. It helps me keep watch over my grandsons when napping or playing. The built in mike is also handy in preventing any mishaps that might happen before I can get there.It is simple to set up and use, and I would definitely purchase it again!!

Getting this baby monitor for my friend who just has a newborn baby boy. She loves easy installation. The monitor could detective the weakest sounds such as vibrations of insects buzzing from the baby’s room. For sure it saved the baby. She also likes the features that monitor the temperature changed in the room and the long-lasting battery of the baby monitor. It is an acceptable price for this level and a great baby shower gift!

An excellent camera, I really liked the quality of the shooting, night vision also works perfectly, most of all I wanted night vision when buying, the interface and controls are very convenient, I immediately figured it out, you can listen to what is happening in the child rood, and you can also turn on a lullaby for him straight from the camera. The battery lasts for a long time, I only use it in the evening and at night. The quality of the control screen is excellent, I had no complaints.

I purchased this baby monitor as a secondary one to bring with us for traveling or when we go over to our friends or family's houses and stay late. Needed something to use so we can see our baby when he's sleeping in the room there. It's convenient and small to take along, and the camera covers a pretty decent area of the room. Night vision and zoom features are clear and this doesn't need WiFi which was helpful since we usually use the nest cam at home and we need WiFi for that if we were to take it to places. The monitor also has lullibies that you can play and can monitor room temperature too. Battery life so far isn't bad, lasted from afternoon to late evening with still more than 60-70 % life left without charging.

Very easy to install at beginning, only click 2 buttons after the power on, then they work. The camera part can almost 300 degree adjustment and of course up & down. The sound monitoring is good too, during the night you can hear the baby cry based on the light level at the top then check the status, if necessary can talk through the monitor then baby can hear to calm down. Several kind of music can help the baby sleep too. Generally will recommend this product in this price level too.

Mounted this to grip using a gopro camera mount and extended arm. Screen quality is good both during the day and at night. Using the screen on and off during the day for a few seconds of screen time we still have 80% battery life at the end of the day. Range is good and we are able to walk outside about 50ft from the camera.
