 Great video, no battery |

| I love this product. I bought the product after a friend recommended it AND told us that it doesn't hold any battery life. Knowing that the battery does not last was part of my expectations, so I love it. |
Five stars for the Fisher Price baby monitor..

| My wife and I are constantly up and down stairs in our townhouse and have found that the reception on this system has shown no signs of degradation even with two floors separating us and the baby. The remote functionality of this model is one of the best parts which has saved us on those additional trips to comfort the baby by activating any of the numerous sounds that are available with this model. This is a great product that I would recommend to anyone looking for a quality baby monitor. |
Excellent for most folks; Battery life the only real negative

Ultimately you're looking for something that audibly & visually monitors your baby. This is a pretty good product for that purpose. There is no biometric measurement, which would have made this a complete all-round product.
Camera: Colours are a little off during the 'day' mode as if the reg/green/blue is just off a little. Doesn't affect the monitoring. As mentioned in other reviews, the camera will "freeze" for a second every 7 seconds or so but it's not bad. The night mode is good - obviously black and white - no colour here and does need to be played around with to get the best display for you. For both you are able to change the contrast and brightness to make the video display appear as you wish. This is a can require playing with the balance to avoid the screen to appear without "vignetting" (darker around the outside) - especially in night mode. Consideration with the positioning of the camera and the settings will help with this. Video resolution is fine - you're probably not going to be able to tell if you're baby is breathing all the time, and the audio won't necessarily pick it up. If you're concerned about this, get something with biometrics.
Audio: We had a seperate audio unit previously and the audio pickup on this unit is as good. No qualms here.
Battery Life: Poor. Maybe 1 - 2 hours and that's your lot. Would be nice if they had improved this somewhat.
Other features: Has the usual music/nature sounds, small orange night light settings which you can turn off from the monitor handset or the the unit itself.
Setting up the unit:
A bracket and cable tidy come with the unit. When setting up the unit to be placed on the wall it's worthwhile having someone on hand to help you set up the position of the unit - and a baby or something babyesque to prove out that when they move around the camera is well positioned. Trying it out in night mode might be the best way to do this so you know worst case visual. Obviously the further away from the baby the wider the viewing, but also the less definition on t the baby.
In 2 weeks of having this unit we've been very pleased; the extra time setting up the unit on the bracket has paid off and no amount of wiggling around the crib goes undetected! :) |
awsome

I love this product even though there was no feedback from. The set up was easy right out the box. The pictures and sound quality was crystal clear.Night vision mode is black and white, but during the day is in full color.It was a good purchase from CD warehouse....cheaper than anyone else out there.
I would love to give it a five star, but the battery life is very poor. It last only about 2hrs. Still good , but do not forget to plug in. |
Great, but low battery life.

| Great product, but the portable unit has a very low battery life when disconnected. Can not keep it off the base for more than a half hour. Other than that...very happy with it. |
