This is only about 4"by 4", a little bitty thing. |
I review a lot of products. Frankly more of them make me frown than smile. This product gave me a flat out grin. Not only did it install easily, it works beautifully. This is a home run! This is truly a consumer product. If you follow my reviews I am sure you have seen my dismay over products that claim to be consumer products and truly demand a technical education to install. This install was flawless. You do a simple reset of the camera before beginning and then install the free software from Google Play. The software downloaded cleanly and also setup easily. I put it on my tablet and my phone. You will need the access name and password for your wifi but besides that you need nothing extra.
The camera pans and tilts, it is not overwhelmed by outside or inside light. It detects noise. You can set up notifications for noise and temperature. It really is a remarkable product and especially if you plan on using it as it is billed, a baby monitor. You can even have it play lullabies’ for the baby. After having purchased baby monitors in the past as gifts and going way back to the wired intercom I installed when my kids were babies, the price is not out of line. $249 at Amazon and as the commercials say, peace of mind, priceless.
