This is a good but basic baby monitor
the picture quality isnt the best and nor is the sound
it should probably be priced lower for the quality
good product if you just want the basics - Strengths:

We are very happy with this monitor, it does have a small screen but works fine for us. The battery life unplugged isn't fantastic but we keep it plugged in so isn't an issue for us. I like that it zooms in and has night vision too. Sound is pretty clear. We have the camera mounted on the wall above my daughters bed and it covers her whole bed so we can always see her. -

This product was great, simple to set up and simple enough even the grandparents could use it.
I had used a more expensive more complex one from a friend and this one ticked all the boxes.
Yes the functions are simple and the screen is small but is very good.
Signal strength worked well in our house however sometimes effected by the Wi-Fi.
Overall I'd give a 9/10 - Strengths:

What can I say about this product; The light interferes with it if I leave the door open or if it’s changing from light to day, it always does a buzzing noise, battery life is short, no way of keeping it up next to my babies crib so has to be balanced and camera has to stay plugged in so once my baby moves to the big crib I won’t be able to use it as no plugs are near by. - Strengths:

Excellent baby monitor, we use this one for epilepsy, it is good when plugged in overnight, you can hear breathing of the child. Can get a little grainy at times if turned up very loud, but works perfectly. Has great night vision and sound. Has great battery life when unplugged. Will dim picture at night time at times, but sound is still always there, you can allow for video to always be there as well. Great baby monitor, highly recommended! - Strengths:

I bought these on offer for £20 so I wasn’t expecting much, just a no frills monitor. There is no talk back facility which would have been a bonus. The video is grainy at times but perfectly fine and it has a good zoom. The battery life is terrible and last about 1-1.5 hours. I emailed the manufacturer as I thought it was faulty. Turns out it isn’t, they are designed to be plugged into mains unless you are between rooms, not ideal in a 3 storey house so I would never have bought it if it had said on the box! - Strengths:

Excellent product worked really well. Great range to the monitor. Found the screen small which made the picture unclear. The sound on the unit is good quiet loud. Love this did well through our first child's baby days - Strengths:

This is our second monitor after our first one broke and I’m very pleased with it. It was easy to set up and has a wide viewing angle so we can cover more of my daughters room. Love that it has a zoom feature and the picture is really clear - even at night time I have no problem seeing my daughter. The sound on it is very clear and even when the monitor is turned down to one bar volume you can still hear every little thing that happens in her room. Very pleased with the monitor and will definitely be getting another Motorola if this one breaks at any stage. - Strengths:

I love this baby monitor. I must admit I haven't tried any others to compare it to but it did the job for me. The zoom was really useful as we had to have the camera held high up to cover the whole cot as my baby liked to move around a lot, so it was great that I could zoom in to clearly see her face. The screen is clear both at day and at night. Only slight negative is that the signal on the monitor could be a bit hit and miss but it only ever froze for a second or so, so it was never a huge problem. - Strengths:

A great monitor system. Battery lasts overnight if you forget to plug in. The video quality is good in the daytime, a little fuzzier in night mode but the sound monitor is enough even if you can't always see baby's face. Being able to reassure baby if you can't get to them straight away using the microphone is a bonus (though don't talk too close to the mic otherwise its a bit Darth Vader-esque) overall good camera. - Strengths:

I use these monitors on my 5yr as he has epilepsy an has taking seizures during the night an no one had heard him,
An with my anxiety I wasn't putting him back to his own room until my sons paediatrician suggested video monitors, an obviously I can add additional camera when I put my daughter in her room an there so easy to use ? - Strengths:

Bought for my first daughter after sending back other brands. I love this. Used it everyday until she was 2. The look on her face when we knew she was out of bed was a picture. Now using for 2nd child. You can zoom in. Picture is clear. Sound is clear. However it can loose signal now and again. I love this baby monitor and it lasts. Battery is still good after 2/3 years of use. I got it on sale too so bargain - Strengths:

Was not really impressed with this baby monitor. Lost signal more than it keeping signal.
But when it did work it was good. I would iust expect for the price your paying the signal should be a lot better.
Battery of the hand heald is more than poor. - Strengths:

We purchased this for our son who is now 2 years. We were looking for cheap and quality monitor which has it all. We found this through Mothercare. The product is amazing. When he sleeps we plug in the camera and then switch on the monitor. We can clearly see what he is doing. There is night mode as well. Volume buttons, it has a charger for the monitor. The only thing I don’t like is the screen turns off after about 5 mins, this is a screensaver. But besides that 100% happy. - Strengths:

I have these and there brilliant. The best part is you can add more cameras. I have a camera in my 1 year olds room and one in my 2 year olds room. The range is good on them and the battery as well so you can take it into what ever room your in and still keep an eye on the kiddies. - Strengths:

This video monitor was in the sale at Mothercare when I was pregnant. It looked really easy to use and it is. Place the camera on a shelf or chest of drawers and turn the monitor on, that's all you need to do. When we first moved our daughter into her room I used to have the volume on high, after a little while I turned it down as I could still hear her. I need it to be silent to get a good night's sleep as I'm a very light sleeper. Nowadays, I have the sound turned off at night and use it to see if she's awake or just stirring as I can hear her from our room. This product put our minds at easy when we moved her into her room. We use it when we put her to bed so we can check on her whilst we're downstairs. The only drawback is that we occasionally have interference from our WiFi which affects the visuals. The sound works fine but it's difficult to see her and it can be annoying when it happens. We have noticed that if our phones are too close to the monitor, it loses its signal and will bleep to warn us. I really like having a video monitor but it's a shame about the interference. - Strengths:

I was very happy with this monitor, good picture and sound quality. Very easy to use and has a really good signal distance. My only issue was that the cable on the camera was a bit on the short side so unless have a socket close it doesn't reach close enough we had to use an extension lead. Would use this again though. - Strengths:

Brilliant baby monitor. The camera unit comes with holes on the stand so you can screw it onto wall. You can pivot the camera around which is handy. You can also talk into the monitor. The only thing is the video quality isn’t brilliant. For a basic baby monitor this fits your every need! - Strengths:

This product is a good value for money and has a good picture and sound quality but a little blurry when you zoom in. If you turn sound down you can still see if there is a noise as lights go from green to red to indicate sound in the room.
