motorola MBP33S Wireless Video Baby Monitor with 2.8-Inch Color LCD, Zoom and Enhanced Two-Way Audio, 720p

Easy to use and dependable
There are a lot of mixed reviews out there, but I thought this camera and monitor screen meet my needs. Super easy to set up, just plug it in to the power outlet and wait a sec for handheld monitor to find the camera. I used the monitor in hand while I found the perfect camera position for keeping an eye on baby. I have a 2 story home with a finished basement and was looking for a way to keep an eye on baby sleeping upstairs while I’m down on main floor in the kitchen or down the basement watching a movie. I have no problem with connection of the handheld monitor to the camera throughout my home. The monitor has an antenna that folds up from the back, I find that I need that up to get rid of interference or backfeed noise. The camera microphone is sensative enough for you to hear the baby breathing on the monitor and sometimes sounds from other rooms get picked up and echoed through. At night, I turn the volume off because it is hard to sleep listening to all the baby noises. The camera has night vision so you can see the baby just fine, but know that by definition – night vision is black and white. The only way you’d get color picture at night is if you shined a light on your baby. The monitor has a limited battery, which i usually just leave plugged in or know I’ve only got a few hours unplugged.All and all, I think this is a great set for single camera use, it has the option to expand to multiple cameras but the monitor only lets you see one camera at a time. Have to click into the menu to choose the camera you want to see so if you were watching two kids you’d have switch back and forth.

I love it enough that I’ll purchase a third camera
I’ve owned this monitor since July 2015 and have very few issues with it. I purchased the parent unit with two cameras as I have two children in separate rooms. I have very few complaints about the cameras or parent unit.The sound quality is great, with multiple settings. Even the quietest setting is still loud enough to hear while sleeping. The cameras in the rooms pick up even the quietest of sounds (such as a child sniffing in their sleep or even rolling over!). The parent unit allows you to choose two options when using multiple cameras: a screen-in-screen, which provides visual of both rooms (or however many cameras are in use), but sound to only one room. The other option is a cycle of video and sound between rooms, which occurs about every seven seconds by my count. In the year I have owned it, the seven second cycle was never a problem. The infrared and regular imaging provides a fairly clear picture if you need to view your child, but I usually turn the video off at night unless I’m checking on a child. There are multiple brightness settings if you use it at night next to your bed so the video imaging doesn’t keep you awake. The parent unit also allows you to choose lullabies to play in your child’s room, but you will also hear it over the parent monitor. Both cameras can be mounted to a wall allowing a full view of the crib/bed. The power cords for the cameras and the parent units are long enough that they can reach your nearest outlet or even one slightly further away. The cameras are equipped with temperature monitoring, so you can tell how warm the room is (and you can choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit). If the room is too warm, the temperature will appear in red instead of blue. There is a built-in microphone so you can speak to your child in their room. This sound only goes to the camera selected, so it won’t go into another child’s room. This is very helpful when transitioning to a toddler bed and you have a little escape artist on your hands. I appreciate that the camera does not require a wireless connection through a home wifi system. The signal is through the parent unit and cameras only.The battery life of the parent unit is pretty great when unplugged. I use it for nap time and then the hours once my children are in bed until I go to bed (I always plug in at night), all unplugged. In total, the battery will usually last for about five hours when cycling between two rooms. The imaging will shut off after five minutes when the parent unit is unplugged, but you can switch it back on if you need to check on children. When the battery is almost spent, the parent unit will beep to alert you. This beep does not extend to the cameras. If you ever lose signal, the parent unit will also beep then. The sound remains the same when the video imaging is off. The range on the monitor is strong enough to work anywhere in your home, but not too far if you step outside of your home. But to sit out on your patio/deck in the Spring/Summer once the kids go to bed, it will work fine. I have had a few instances where the monitor shut off or stopped cycling at night, but that has happened maybe three times since I purchased the unit. I’ve chalked it up to a very, very rare fluke.Overall, I’ve been very satisfied with this mentoring system. So satisfied, in fact, that I’ll be purchasing a third camera to combine with the unit when my next child is born.

I like that it rotates, 360 degrees. Clear view, easy to operate.
