Babysense Add On Camera Video Baby Monitor MaxView, Remote Pan Tilt Zoom, Two-Way Talk-Back Audio, Long Range, Night Vision, RGB Night Light, Lullabies, Temperature Monitoring

I bought this as a replacement for our VaVa monitor that had broken; this was cheaper than replacing the parent monitor I needed. I’ve been using it about it and I have to say I’m impressed! The screen is bigger, it has a very clear image, and great signal (I have barely needed the antenna which I needed all the time on the VaVa). It’s easy to use, the battery lasts me all day and I sleep with it plugged in but turned on, and feels really durable especially compared to the VaVa. It is slightly louder, even on the lowest setting and the only downside in comparison is that the sound doesn’t toggle between cameras like the VaVa. You have to pick which screen to listen to. My kids are in the same room, so it’s not a huge deal for me, and I did read you can turn on some kind of scanning mode where it will monitor for sounds between both cameras and turn on the screen even but I have not tried it.

Great Baby Monitor! Clear video and sound, excellent night vision, and very easy to set up. The connection is stable and reliable and gives us real peace of mind. Works exactly as expected. Highly recommended for new parents!

The customer service is amazing!!!!!!!! (Read below) Overall, I really love this monitor and it's a great value! We initially got just audio monitors for our little one, but once he was about 4 or 5 months, we wanted a video one because he was starting to roll over from back to stomach (but had a hard time rolling back the other way, so I wanted to be able to see him). We actually decided to order the more expensive Motorola one just to try it out a couple weeks after we got this one, and the Motorola one did not work at all for us! It kept losing reception and the picture was blurry. This one is easy to use and works and surprisingly affordable! It loses reception rarely, but only for a second and then it's back on, so it's not really a problem for us. The sound and video quality is great, and I love the ECO mode setting. A note on their customer service: I purchased this in June 2017 and 5 months later (randomly one night) the plugin on the parent unit stopped working properly. You had to plug it in at a particular angle to make it charge. So I called the BabySense Customer Service, and they were excellent! They picked up right away (no wait time at all) and helped resolve the issue in a 3 minute phone call. He just asked me to e-mail him my mailing address and phone number and is sending me a replacement parent unit, and then I will just send back the one that stopped working properly in a prepaid package! SO easy! I was very shocked with the excellent customer service, in a good way of course. Makes me love this product even more knowing that the customer service is so great! Update: My son dropped something on the replacement unit in August 2018 so only half the screen was working so I called their customer service and they actually replaced it with no charge and didn't even want me to send the old one back!

Edit: I changed my stars it was a 2 star, now I am actually going up to a four star. It’s not a bad monitor it just took me sometime to get use to it. It’s no as fancy as my old one that just broke after 6 years but it was also a fraction of the cost of my summer 2. Edit; (after having more time with this monitor I like it) I put this on registry for baby #3. I am slightly disappointed. It’s a huge step down from my 6 yr old summer2 video monitor. However, It does work and the temperature gage works I am sad that it doesn’t rotate or scan its picture from the handheld device controls but it’s not suppose to I miss understood. Once it is set manually it’s stays like that until you go into the room to readjust. It does zoom in and zoom out of the picture. If you want multiple angles from the handheld device you have to buy more cameras. But in all it works great. During the day unless the room is well lit the picture on monitor is black and white. It works well and does what specs say. I like it more that I have been able to understand how it works and I was fearful of breaking it so I didn’t move it manually at the beginning and the cord was stiff from being in the box so it was very difficult to use at first but the head of the camera moves on the neck above the base, you just have to manually adjust it, (since you can not move camera with the monitor like I was use to with my other summer model.) My fault for not looking closer at the details and specs. can’t compare apples and oranges. Overall I like it and I am happy with my purchase. I will be keeping it.

This is an EXCELLENT baby monitor. I've used two others, the Goodbaby and the Kidsneed. The Kidsneed, which is out of prodution, was decent, with a very good screen of 3.5 inchess. But it lost connection repeatedly, several times a day. It regained connection quickly, but so what. I also bought a second Kidsneed and the two cameras interfered with each other, making them drop connection to the monitors. I placed an aluminm shield between them that helped,but they still lost contact. The Goodbaby screen sucked. Washed out in either day or night and very narrow vertical viewing angle. Not really usable. The Prisma is excellent straight out of the box, with no interference bweteen cameras. I say this because several reviewers and others of other units have asked if you can pair one camera with two monitors And no you can't, for valid security reasons. But you can buy two baby monitor setups and get the same effect. With the Prisma you CAN have two monitors in different locations monitoring essentially the same view, with the cameras essentially next to each other. So I'm able to keep an eye on my wife who's disabled if she's in bed in our bedroom and I'm monitoring from our study or from our small bathroom. That's a big deal because it means if she calls for me to help her I can hear her in either location through the separate monitors. For many people this probably it isn't an issue. But for people like us it's a gamechager. The Prmisa image is excellent. Far better than many others and as good as the Kidsneed but much larger. Great saturation and contrast, including at night. Also, it's a wide angle lens , which you can narrow if you need to. Much better than the standard Kidsneed or Goodbaby perspectives. All in all a superior baby monitor.

This is the 5.5 inch full HD set. The two cameras and the monitor unit worked fine out of the box - still working 3 months later. The longest range we've tried is downstairs from upstairs and about 80 feet - no drops or glitches. The IR view, although black and white, is very detailed. The audio pickup is ok. The user interface is practical and easy to learn. It would be nice if there was an on/off switch on the cameras and "led light while on" (if there is, we didn't find it yet). Privacy/security is very important so an encrypted private transmission with no - zero - cloud connection is paramount. Honestly, I'm surprised the cameras, monitor, transmission, and privacy are as good as they are for $179.

--------------------------- UPDATE 11/23/2018 --------------------------- With the birth of our second child last week, we added a second camera to this monitoring system, and unfortunately this uncovered a major flaw in the way the monitor is programmed. Let me explain. For the 18 months we have used this monitor one of my favorite features has been its "Eco Mode," in which the monitor's screen and speaker are off but turn on as soon as the camera detects noise in your baby's room. You can select from three sensitivity levels for this feature based on on what noise threshold you want to activate the screen. It works beautifully: the monitor stays completely silent until our little one makes noise, then the screen and speaker instantly come to life. You can pair up to four cameras with the monitor, and when you pair additional cameras you have two monitoring options. Option one is to monitor a single camera, in which case you can utilize the Eco Mode I described above. Option two is to have the monitor cycle through the cameras, showing you each one for about ten seconds. Now here's the rub: when you choose this cycling option, Eco Mode is NOT AVAILABLE. This is a HUGE flaw, in my opinion. Now instead of going silent even when no noise is detected, the monitor's screen and speaker stay on CONTINUOUSLY while it cycles through the cameras. There are two problems caused by the lack of Eco Mode with more than one camera. First, because the monitor's screen and speakers are always on, the batteries drain MUCH more quickly. Second, the monitor is always emanating some white noise. Previously it was easy to notice when our little one was rustling because the screen would come to life and the speaker would activate; now, with the screen always on and some white noise coming from the speaker at all times, it is more difficult to notice when the baby starts making noise, unless it's a loud noise like hard crying. I'm really disappointed at losing the Eco Mode when multiple cameras are paired. It was a great feature of this monitoring system, and it's a shame not to be able to use it fully with more than one paired camera. ------------------------ ORIGINAL REVIEW ------------------------ Of all the items we purchased for our baby, the monitor was perhaps the most challenging to select: we couldn't find one stand-out model that had consistently good reviews across the board. We initially purchased a different brand that we thought would be the winner, but it ended up giving out on us after a week. Very disappointing. Then we found this monitor. It was reasonably priced and had fairly solid reviews, so we took a chance. I wouldn't say we love it, but we are very satisfied, especially for the price. It was extremely easy to set up: the camera paired itself to the monitor automatically, so all we had to do was plug in the camera and charge the monitor. The "Eco mode" is nice too -- in this mode the screen stays off until the camera detects sound (baby crying or waking up, for example) and then turns on so you can see what is going on. You can adjust the sensitivity of this mode, which determines how loud a sound must be to activate the screen. Here's what we DO like about this monitor: 1) Simple to set up and operate 2) Good range of operation -- the monitor picks up the camera easily from 3-4 rooms away. 3) Picture quality is fine. No, it's not HD or presentation quality, but it doesn't have to be! We can easily see whether our baby's eyes are open and whether she is moving around or not. 4) Sound quality is pretty good too -- again, more than satisfactory for baby monitor purposes. 5) It does NOT use WiFi, which makes it less of a security concern 6) Two-way sound function is a nice feature (If you press a button on the monitor you can talk to your baby through the camera's speaker. We don't use this feature much, but it's nice to have.) 7) The monitor is very small and lightweight, so it's easy to put anywhere. Yes, this means it has a small screen, but personally I prefer the smallest screen that shows me what I need to see -- anything larger is unnecessarily cumbersome. (Just my opinion!) A few things we do NOT like: 1) The camera's power cord is annoyingly short. Unless your electrical outlet is fairly close to where you want to mount the camera, you will need to use an extension cord. 2) The angle of the camera head is adjustable, but only to a point -- it would be nice if it had more range of motion. If the camera is mounted flush on the wall it won't angle to look at something directly underneath it, so if your baby's crib is against the wall you will need to mount the camera fairly low to aim it at the crib, which means it may pick up only part of the crib (hope this makes sense!). 3) Every time the camera's screen activates it starts with a glowing white image which takes 1-2 seconds to resolve to the live image. Not a deal-breaker, but it is a bit annoying. 4) Battery life is fair, but not great. I wouldn't count on going through an entire day without having to recharge the monitor. Keeping it in "Eco Mode" does help. Bottom line: despite some annoyances this monitor certainly works adequately, and it even holds its own with monitors that are more expensive. We plan to keep it, and we're hoping the company makes additional cameras available for purchase because apparently you can pair more than one camera with the monitor. --------------------------- UPDATE 7/22/2017 --------------------------- Having used this monitor for several weeks now, I wanted to comment on one more feature that we really like. When the monitor is on but in "Eco Mode" (i.e. the screen is off but turns on when the camera detects sound), there is a little green LED light just above the screen which flashes to let you know the monitor is on. We have each had those moments when we look at the monitor and think, "I DID turn that thing on... right?" and the green flashing light confirms that we DID in fact turn it on. A small feature, but one that I didn't realize how much we would appreciate!

We just upgraded our baby monitor to this Babysense Pro 5.5" display and we absolutely love it! It was easy to set up and the image quality is so much clearer. We also love the ability to adjust the camera view as we did not have that capability with our last baby monitor. I decided to go with this brand as we had the baby diaper monitor when our child was an infant - to monitor for rollovers. This camera system does not disappoint and I would definitely recommend.

Très satisfait de ce babyphone. L’installation est simple et rapide, tout fonctionne immédiatement sans prise de tête. Le gros avantage, c’est qu’il fonctionne sans Wi-Fi, donc aucun risque de piratage, ce qui est vraiment rassurant, je l'ai offert 3 fois pour des amis et ils en sont tous ravis et l'utilisent au quotidien et me remontent que la vision nocturne est très très bonne. L’écran 5 pouces est bien lisible, avec une qualité d’image HD correcte de jour comme de nuit grâce à la vision nocturne. La fonction écran partagé avec les 2 caméras est super pratique pour surveiller plusieurs pièces ou enfants en même temps. Les fonctionnalités en plus font vraiment la différence : veilleuse avec plusieurs couleurs berceuses et bruit blanc audio bidirectionnel pour parler au bébé L’autonomie est bonne et le mode VOX permet d’économiser la batterie en activant l’écran uniquement en cas de bruit. Bref, un produit complet, fiable et rassurant, avec un très bon rapport qualité/prix.

It’s a good product . No problem except that it’s Light weight. could have been more sturdier

We purchased this monitor to use while travelling. It hardly takes up any space in your bag, sets up very easily and doesn’t require any internet connection. The monitor has decent battery life and picture quality. The range is good too… I’ve used it in both hotel rooms and large homes with no connectivity issues. Highly recommend.

I am keeping this baby monitor because it is ok, and I don't have the energy to test a bunch of different brands/models. I wanted a video monitor that wasn't connected to Wifi or my phone. This was recommended to me by a friend who was dissatisfied with other monitors she had tried. I was previously using a Wyze Pan Cam. For the price, I expected this monitor to be far superior in every way. Sadly, it is not. It covers the basics but falls short on all of its advertised premium features. See below. Pros: - Nice packaging - Easy set up - Monitor has a large screen with a menu that is easy to navigate. - Good sound detection on camera and loud speaker on monitor. Cons: - Compared with the Wyze camera, the overall picture resolution and night vision are inferior. The zoom function is not very useful as it is grainy with little contrast. I cannot see my baby's chest rise and fall. - Temperature gauge is not accurate when camera is wall-mounted. It is 2-3 degrees C higher than the crib temperature. - Clock gains time (about 15 minutes per week) and has to be reset regularly. - White noise feature is not loud enough with poor sound quality, tinny and scratchy. Still using a dedicated white noise machine. - Battery does not last the whole day, even when only checking the screen for a few seconds here and there. It also takes about 8 hours to fully charge. I have to plug it in overnight. The cable has a box on it (not sure the function of this) which is heavy and awkward. I cannot speak to the following features as I have not used them. - microphone - split-screen (I only have one camera.) - long range (I live in a small apartment.) - customer service (It has been working perfectly for over a month.) Although I admittedly have not done the research, there must be less expensive monitors on the market that have basic functions with comparable quality. This monitor sadly does not meet my expectations for my purposes. Perhaps, if you have different needs, it will be just the ticket for you and your family.

He probado varios modelos de cámara y sin duda la recomiendo. Buena calidad, buena imagen y buen funcionamiento.
