easy handling
swivel camera in all directions to the remote via the parent unit
camera with adapter for wall mounting (can be used to attach a cable and tie it to something if you don't want to drill)
an additional wide-angle lens called. fisheye. If you place the camera somewhere high and turn it downwards, you can see the whole room. If the infant is bigger and used to "travel" in his sleep on the bed, or after waking up he climbs out of bed on his own, you can see that he is already awake and playing, even if he has not started crying (older infants who are already walking and can climb out of bed nicely).
so far good range indoors and outdoors in the garden
compared to motorola cameras, excellent microphone, really good to hear if everything is ok with the baby before he starts crying. You can react faster thanks to this
replaceable battery of the parent unit. Batteries lose capacity over time by charging/discharging, you can replace this one in the future should this happen.
no microusb connector. We know that its mechanical strain causes problems with the power supply of the child units and their failure rate. Great that the manufacturer avoided that with this model.
SUMMARY: for a toddler, where I want to see details of breathing and micro movement, there rather motorola with wifi, since it has a motion detector when connected to the mobile and a super image and night vision, but a weak microphone(can be survived).
For a bigger toddler who is already walking/crawling and where I no longer have to watch every movement on his face but rather movement within the room, this is a great solution. We had Motorola, various eshops, but we repeatedly complained through connection failures within the apartment. Reviews on amazon have confirmed that it's systemic within the brand.
let's see how we end up with that nanny after a long time.
weaker daytime image quality
night vision very very poor indeed! (probably the worst I've seen at that price), which is hard to understand nowadays, when having a normal picture at that price is a given
suitable for a bigger baby where you don't need to see close up details it's ok, for a smaller baby when I wear out better visual control, I recommend motorola which has a super picture but they have unreliable signal transmission, and frequent failure rate of models (personal experience with video nannies) and the motorola microphone is weak, ie you can only hear when he starts crying really hard(if you have a wifi model, there is good sound only if the picture/sound is connected via wifi to the mobile). You have to catch up with the foster before it wakes up fully and starts crying, then you put it to sleep from the beginning.

the baby unit is not powered by batteries as described. It has to be in a drawer.
