I am so disappointed by this monitor. I thought I finally found one that allowed me to have two cameras, a monitor, and an app. And although it has all that, the lifespan is TERRIBLE! I’ve had the monitor for about a year and it’s starting to fall apart. The stand that keeps it up is so loose it falls down constantly, which is fairly annoying when you’re trying to sleep. Then it looses connection with the camera randomly and alerts you with a loud noise, which I would appreciate if it didn’t happen at midnight and wake me up. To which point it won’t reconnect. So I’m left without a monitor in the middle of the night. The newest piece to stop working is the sound. I would argue that sound is almost more important than video. So now my monitor is virtually useless unless I’m close enough to the nursery to hear my child.

I like it
It’s very easy to use, and no issues so far.

Nicer internet abilities, good home system…
Motorola’s baby monitors are seldom found atop the lists of “Best Baby Monitors”, but they’re often found on those lists and user reviews are usually fairly favorable. I don’t know if Motorola makes these or just brands them, but Motorola baby monitors been around for some time now, garnering the normal assortment of cranky reviews along with positive assessments.I can’t speak to long term use of this monitor. So I’m reviewing initial impressions. If I find things to be different over time, I’ll come back and update.Motorola makes two basic forms of video monitors. One type connects solely to a handheld unit via 2.4Ghz radio. It’s not wifi enabled. It’s a basic unit with fairly long range usable only when both you and your baby are at home. The other type connects both to a handheld screen AND, via wifi to your phone. This type can monitor your baby both when you’re at home and, via the app and internet, when you’re away from home.This is Motorola’s most expensive wifi model. It connects both to a handheld receiver screen and to your phone via the internet.Wirecutter, the review site, said it disliked Motorola’s wifi baby monitor the least of all the wifi+handheld LCD monitor units it tested, but it didn’t give any wifi unit a glowing review. However, when Wirecutter reviewed baby monitors Motorola was still using its Hubble app for phone connectivity–an app I’ve not used–and reviewers say that the new app used by this system is far superior to the old Hubble app.OK, a few noteworthy features with differentiation between this and less expensive models in parentheses:1) Zoom is digital, up to 2X (other models range up to 4X digital zoom, a negligible difference, honestly).2) Pan and tilt are motorized (vs digital pan and tilt and manual pan and tilt on other models).3) 1080 resolution (vs 720p resolution on other Motorola systems).4) 5-inch lcd screen in monitor is clear with good color and visibility (vs. 4.3-inch and non-touch screen in other Motorola systems).5) Typical additional abiilities include: night view, 2-way intercom, room-temp monitoring, lullabies.6) Camera mount included.7) In-home monitor uses 2.4GHz radio8) Motorola “Nursery” app available for IOS and Android.This is a fairly fancy video monitor system, capable for in-home use and able to work over the internet with your phone.
