Best long-range baby monitor in 2021
What’s going on, everyone. Welcome back to the channel in this video, I’m going to bring you my final long-term review. This can be a one-year review of the [inaudible], how you pronounce it, baby monitor. Uh, we currently have, uh, around a one-year-old, uh, it’s going on about 11 months now. Uh, so I thought it would be a good idea to get this up.
Uh, kind of go some things that like don’t like who this may be for who it may not be for because there’s a million baby monitors out there ranging from $50 to $500. If you don’t how much you want to spend. So I’ll kind of go through this, uh, what we’ve, you know, we’ve been using this every single day, twice a day, sometimes three times a day. So I have a good idea of, uh, the good and bad of it.
So the first thing price, it’s $159. Um, the, do you have coupons on Amazon frequently for it? We paid one 39 for it. Um, I have seen them between 20 and $50 off that price, depending on how much you actually shop around and kind of look for, but, uh, they do go on sale on Amazon from time to time, but you’re going to pay that price point for, uh, so it comes with this charger a USB-C, which is one of the huge pluses and then the actual camera.
So I’m going to kind of go through some of the bad things first and then, uh, kind of conclude what the good things. So the first thing is going to be, um, while it does have a nice large five-inch display, as you can see here, uh, he’s currently sleeping. So, this could be a very short video.
Um, it’s only seven 20 P so it’s not the greatest resolution, but honestly, on this type of display, if you’re looking at seven 20 P I think that’s good enough. Um, it does zoom in times two, but if we zoom in here, it it’s very, very grainy when you zoom in, especially at night time, it’s much clearer when it’s, uh, actually daytime out, uh, on your, just monitor it that way. But at night it’s very, very grainy. You’re not going to be able to see the baby that well.
Uh, so that’s one of the kinds of negatives there is that the resolution on this and the webcam, uh, actually is at the, probably the greatest quality, uh, out there. Um, few other negatives, the sinks are almost impossible to see outside in the sunlight. So if it’s sunny outside and you’re sitting outside is very difficult to see.
You usually have to, if you go to share your area, you can see it. And, uh, that’s, that’s something that’s actually nice. Um, the only other negative is that sometimes it gets confused, uh, even if there’s a little bit of light in there, uh, and it’s, uh, like we have blackout curtains in our baby’s room because it’s easier for him to sleep that way, but there some light that shines through it will actually think that it is nighttime, even though it’s a little brighter in there. So it makes it a little more difficult to see. Um, so that’s the only negative is that you can’t flip back and forth.
You can’t choose if you want to do night mode or daytime mode. That’s something that, uh, it just automatically does. So that’s really it for the negative. Uh, the is usually off on it. Uh, currently it says focus 66 degrees, but, uh, our house is running about 68 right now. We have a thermostat in the house and then we actually have our actual, uh, thermostat for our HVAC system. And it’s set at 68 generally is around 68 in here, uh, with the farmers that we have in here.
So if the temperature is a tad bit off, uh, not by anything, that’s going to hurt anything, but, uh, that’s really it for the negative. Uh, one more thing, the actual mounting of the actual webcam, it’s just a screw you put in the wall. It doesn’t seem like the most secure thing in the world, but it, uh, works. It’s never fell off before, but that could be something to make sure you have it mounted, right? Because that could be a hazard, especially if it’s hanging over his crib, which we have currently going on right now. Um, so that’s, it, It, wasn’t only minor negatives.
Obviously, the webcam has to be plugged in. It may be nice if you could get one that had an internal battery also, so you can use both, uh, I could see how that would be useful at times if you’re using it in a different room, but that’s really it, one of the positives. So the first is going to be, um, this is not an app-based, uh, webcam. If you get like a nest indoor cam and use it, but this thing is reliable, so never lost connection. Uh, it’s always connected when it turns it on. It’s very quick to respond. So I think from a safety perspective, it’s one of the better ones out there. Uh, we’ve never had any issues with it, losing connection, or any type of interference at all. And we use it. We have about a half an acre when we’ve used it outside in the shed, when we’re out gardening, we’ve used it, uh, in the garage.
Uh, it works very, very well. It just uses a standard 2.4 Hertz, a signal. So nothing too fancy there, but it actually does great and we’ve never had to use the antenna. So the actual range on it is very, very good without having the up, cause I would probably break this off after a while if I was doing that, uh, internal battery has about over a little over 4,000 million battery internally and it blasts pretty well if he keeps the screen off, it actually will ask for a couple of days without any problem.
The screen is really what drains the battery. So if you have the screen on a lot, it obviously will drain it. So when we first used this, we had the screen on a lot more because obviously, it’s our first kid first child. So we were a little worried. So we wanted to keep a better eye on him.
Uh, so the battery can drain fairly easily if you keep the screen on a lot. But the other good thing about it is it has used to PC. So like if I’m in here working on a computer, I’ll just plug it in here. It is a very slow charge, so USBC, but, uh, it will get a little bit of charge, uh, if you’re actually using it. So I’ll usually have it plugged it here, uh, just through the standard USB-C cable. That actually is for my camera works great. So it’s very easy to actually charge. You can get a battery pack also in charge of that way. I’ve done that before and it works for us.
The mini system is very, very simple. It’s anybody who could figure this mini system out. Uh, it’s really one of the easier ones to navigate. You just have basically the little settings down there. I can’t turn the brightness up on the actual,
Why is this not moving?
So you can turn the brightness up on the display, but I find it still outside. It’s very, very hard to use. Uh, but the menu system is very, very simple, very easy to use. Uh, anyone will be able to through the satis, not complicated at all. Uh, another positive is, uh, has all kinds of warning lights up here. So even if you do have the screen off, you will see little indicators up here, green, yellow, and then red, uh, basically when the baby’s screaming.
So you could really tell if they’re awake or if something’s going on. Uh, at least if they’re making noise, uh, with just looking at those indicators without turning it on, uh, it does have a talk, talk on it. So you can actually talk to the baby. We have never done that or ever used it, but I could see how that would be a useful feature. Maybe if they’re older and you’re just using it when they’re in their room playing around or something like that, I could see how it would be, uh, useful for that.
Uh, a couple of other positives, really the big battery life has been good it’s over a year and it hasn’t seemed like it’s faded out or anything. So I think it’ll last for a while this one night about internal batteries. This is one it’s once it’s dead, you’re basically done, but it seems like a good quality internal battery. You can actually get multiple cameras for this. The cameras are fairly expensive. If you can add on one, but you can get multiple cameras for this. Uh, I don’t know if they have the price on here, but I think you can head up to three or four cameras. So that’s a nice feature if you want it to be multiple rooms.
Um, So that’s one good thing there. Uh, I think that’s about it. Um, It’s very nice. We’ve actually had really good luck out of it. We didn’t even, we just searched on Amazon and we looked at some of them buy, buy baby, and there’s like a million baby monitors out there. Uh, but overall we’ve been really happy. We chose this. The only thing is that, uh, the video quality is not all that great, but you’re really not paying for that.
You’re really just paying for the reliability and overall longevity of this thing, which I think it will last probably beyond the point where we’re going to need to use it.
So I really like that. And I like that. It’s not web-based, so you don’t have to get off your phone, turn it on, make sure you’re within WIFI. It is always connected to four seven. We’ve never had any issues, which I think is the big plus, because if you can’t see your baby or you have to fiddle around with your phone for an hour or even a couple of minutes and something’s going on, or you’re, you know, you lost power, you don’t have any WIFI.
Granted, if you lose power, you’re going to be able to use the camera. But if your WIFI goes out, you’ll still be able to, uh, to actually see him and monitor. So that’s it. Uh, this will be the last review of this. Most likely, uh, the link will be below. If you want to purchase this highly recommend this, uh, five is like my third or fourth video on it. And that’s kind of shows how much we actually enjoy this. Uh, it’s a no thrills baby monitor.
Uh, doesn’t have the most revolutionary rebel, uh, resolution on it. Uh, it’s nothing groundbreaking, very simple design, but it’s reliable, which is our number one concern. And I think it’s pretty safe. So that’s like, I S uh, comments, questions, leave them below. Hope you have a good rest of the day and I’ll see you guys next time.
