Best baby monitor!!!

This is a great baby monitor. It takes the worry out of leaving your little one in bed while you take some time out for yourself! It shows the temperature in the room so you know if it is getting too hot or too cold. The camera also has night vision which works really well. The camera is very clear and easy to view and has a grate range of movement. The "parent unit" is portable meaning you can take it where ever you are around the house and it seems to have a great range meaning I can be quite a distance from the camera unit and it still works very well. Absolutely amazing value for money! I wouldn't be anywhere without my monitor. I love the monitor thay much I have even purchased a second one to take when I am staying away from home. The only negative I have is ... MoreThis is a great baby monitor. It takes the worry out of leaving your little one in bed while you take some time out for yourself!

The only negative I have is after much use, the portable unit seems to not last quite as long without having to charge it but still quite a long battery life to say the least!

Camera view is too zoomed

I got this after my monitor broke. Thought that considering my baby is already 10 Months that I would just get a cheap one. The video is clear but the camera is so zoomed in that you cannot see the whole cot. We had to put the camera up on the curtain rod and you still can’t see the whole cot. Which is a pain when your baby moves all over the cot and if she falls asleep down one end I can’t see her at all.

Everything you could need

I purchased (and returned) a $330 monitor and a $200 monitor prior to getting this one. After the problems I had with the first two (poor connection, not a wide enough view of the room/ cot, not a clear enough picture) I decided I would spend as little as possible as it was clear baby monitors just suck! I was so wrong… this little $99 gem does everything I wanted …. Beautiful clear picture, great VOX mode, can very simply and easily just plug each unit in and they connect automatically (none of this “pairing” of units that just causes problems!) I get excited to use it! Love watching my bubba on the screen and knowing I don’t have to keep creeping into her room to check on her or fiddle with a fussy baby monitor!

Great value and great monitor

This monitor works really well and ticks all the boxes! I have a more expensive monitor and actually prefer this one. It doesn’t feel quite as high quality and physically stable as the other one, but that’s the only issue. I love the adjustable stand to be able to position the screen how you need. The vision is really clear, especially the night vision. I even like that when the alert sounds (if the parent unit is low on battery or the baby unit is disconnected), it doesn’t go off continually (as compared to my other one). We’ve had zero problems with going out of range. I would highly recommend this monitor, such great value.

Happy with this simple functional unit

Good price. Basic but easy to use. Screen and audio is all I wanted so I'm happy. Only negatives are white noise on parent unit even at lowest volume and the screen image quality is not great. If you're just looking for basic and not wanting to spend too much you'll be happy with this. It has really eased my mind and reduced separation anxiety whilst transitioning bubba to own room. White noise is also ok in some ways because you know it's on and working.

It won’t break the bank!

Good monitor that won’t break the bank. Good camera and audio. Clear image. Love that you can talk to them if needed. The only thing I find annoying is the battery doesn’t last that long especially using the audio but I just have it on charge all the time. Also there’s a flashing light on the camera that we’ve had to cover. We have two, one for each child and it does a good job. The range is pretty good also. I can go out to the park next door or a neighbours and it generally reaches. Gives you a bit more freedom 😊

Great monitor. The camera has a built in thermometer, so when the monitor is on, it tells you the temperature of the room that the camera (and baby) are in. It has different sound options, whether you want to play music or white noise, adjustable volume, and if you don't want the volume on, the lights on top of the monitor will move to the sounds emitting from the room. So when baby is crying, the lights go up and turn red (depending on volume of the cries). You can also choose to have the screen off as well, so if you want to save battery and turn the picture and sound off, as long as you keep checking the monitor, you'll notice the lights, so don't need to see or hear baby. Battery on the monitor is fairly decent. Usage depends on the volume, and the usage of the ... MoreGreat monitor.

Usage depends on the volume, and the usage of the screen, but with full volume and screen on, will last up to 3-4 hours. :) The night vision is brilliant, in fact, the picture all round is fantastic and I haven't even take the plastic protectors off the camera or the monitor. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. 7/7 recommend.

Superb for the price

Purchased on sale for $74. The camera needs to be plugged into the wall, but the monitor has a built-in battery / can be plugged in. Our house is 3br average sized, plaster / timber. I get reception from one end to the other. Video is crystal clear, night vision works a treat (I look for open eyes). The audio is fine (what do you want for under $100?) I can hear baby cry clearly and that's what it's for. I estimate a 200ms delay transmitting to the monitor, so well under a second, you're not missing much. I've used the monitor for about 5 hours without re-charging so far. The camera transmits directly to the monitor, so no need for WiFi, apps, or uploading to the internet / risk of hacks. Bunch of gimmick features I don't use like piping low quality lullabies ... MorePurchased on sale for $74.

The worst

I actually didn’t know a monitor could be this bad. Volume doesn’t ‘sleep’ so if you have white noise in the babies room you’ll hear it all night. There is a time lag / delay, so when baby starts crying / making sound you’ll hear it in your house before the monitor sets off. There is no vibration function for when baby cries. I once turned it on and it was frozen on the last image of me picking my daughter up. I am honestly so disappointed in this product and the fact baby bunting even stock it, I trusted it would be a good basic monitor. It’s not, it does half a job at best. I purchased in store after chatting to an employee there, I don’t think I’ll purchase from baby bunting again.
