It is very basic with lowest performances.

I was surprise to find that this monitor has a very poor image and freeze all time. it is very slow while navigating through the parameters, i cant understand that it has more than 4 starts, this an Outdated monitor, you can find much much cheaper with better features in the market. Doesn't connect to WIFI.

poor battery life!

After using this device for 1 month the battery does not even hold a charge anymore, The battery didn`t even last a month! cannot un plug the monitor with out the device shutting down which is very inconvenient. Also sometimes when turn it on after putting my daughter in bed the device will not connect until the camera is unplugged and plugged back in, which I then have to go back into the bedroom while my daughter is trying to go to sleep. Would not buy this device again or recommend to a friend.

Instructions indecipherable, micrographia.

For the cost of this useless device, they COULD include simple English instructions in print large enough to read. Will probably send it back, I have no use for frustrating overpriced products.

One of the best monitors we have tried yet!

The Avent Baby Monitor we received from the weeSpring Parent Panel was a pretty great find! We had tried several different monitors and I will say that this is one of our favorites so far. I like that it came with it's own parent monitor screen and I didn't have to use my phone. The range on it is great as well! I am able to take the parent monitor all the way down to our barn and still receive video feed, so that is a huge plus! I also like the fact that I can change between various modes. At night the video feed keeps me awake with the screen glow, so it was really nice to be able to switch it to audio mode and not have the glow going all night. If my baby woke up the audio noise let me know and I could switch back to video to take a peek at what was going on. The only disadvantages to this monitor is that there is no pan or title feature. Our playroom is pretty large and the angle of the lens only shows part of the room, not the entire thing. We have a baby on the way and the toddler and he will be sharing the nursery. I do wish that we were able to see the entire room either though a wider lens angle or with a pan feature to move the camera. The last thing I will note is that at night the video mode is a little bit difficult to see. The night camera isn't the best quality and makes it hard to tell what is a stuffed animal in the toddlers bed and what is actually the toddler. Over four different monitors we've tried this is our favorite so far!

BEST monitor

I received this product from the Stellar Parent Panel in exchange for my feedback. We LOVE this monitor. I have only ever used WiFi monitors before this one and struggled with them from the start. Setup is usually long and tedious and then we would struggle with maintaining consistent connection and quality. First, set up is crazy easy. We literally opened up the box, plugged in the camera and monitor and that’s it; we were using the camera for that nap time. The secure connection not only avoids pairing and re-pairing the camera over and over again, but gives you beautifully clear camera quality and audio quality. Turn on the monitor and that’s it, baby is in perfect view. We tried out the lullaby feature, microphone feature- both really cool options that we haven’t seen on past monitors. What really sets this monitor apart is the different modes you can use. For quiet play, we like to use the “audio” mode. We leave it on “video” mode for most naps so we can see the instant he wakes up. Our favorite is “Eco” mode for his nighttime sleeping. We set the sensitivity a little lower (he moves a lot in his sleep) and the screen only projects when he wakes up. That way we save so much battery life on our monitor, even though the battery life is already impressive not on eco mode. Overall, this is our favorite and most used baby product in our house right now and we definitely recommend.

One of the best!

I received the Philips Avent Digital Video Baby Monitor as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel, and boy, am I glad I did! This monitor is fantastic! Here is why I feel like I have to take off one star: The monitor is fairly bulky to take with me as I do stuff around the house while baby sleeps. I would prefer it to be a little more compact. The video is a little grainy, depending on the lighting. Aside from the above points, I LOVE it! The set-up took me literally 30 seconds. Just plug in the camera, turn on the monitor, adjust camera angle, and you're good to go! It was very important to me that I wouldn't have to spend an eternity trying to connect to wifi or putting together parts. The built-in decibel sensor means audio will only come on if Baby makes significant noise - so I don't have to listen to white noise or lullaby renditions of Metallica and the Backstreet Boys all night long. Two-way audio lets me talk to Baby without being in the room. Temperature display lets me know that Baby will be sleeping comfortably. This monitor is definitely on the top of my list of monitors I have encountered over the course of my 20-year childcare career. The list of desirable features is long, the cost is reasonable, and the peace of mind parents can get from this device is priceless.

Eco mode is awesome

I really like this monitor because it doesn’t need to use the WiFi for connection and it’s very private and secure. I like that you can adjust the viewing angle of the baby camera and the baby monitor is portable and runs on its own battery. The baby monitor is 3.5 inches color screen with a 2x zoom capability. It has very good quality picture and it doesn’t lag— provides quick feedback. If I wanted to, I am able to am able to talk to the baby through the monitor, able to play lullabies, provide a night light and also monitors room temperature. There are also different modes you can use while monitoring baby such as video, audio, vox and eco mode. My favorite is the eco mode because it saves energy by reducing power use by switching off the audio and video and turns on as soon as baby makes a noise. The only reason why I gave this produce a 4/5 rating is because the camera for the baby is not portable so if you lose power, there will be no video link of baby until the power is restored. I had a black out occur and I didn’t get to video monitor my baby until the power came back on. But overall, I really like this baby monitor. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this baby video monitor.

Great quality monitor!

I received this monitor to test it as part of the weeSpring parent panel. We loved this monitor! The video quality is great and it’s very accurate as well. I love that it doesn’t connect to my phone or an app, because I want to be able to use it independently of an internet connection. I love how the video quality is clear as well.
