This is a simple and elegant looking baby monitor that held a lot of promise. However, after testing it for a while I’ve concluded that it’s far from being worth the investment. It is hard to setup and use reliably, and its features are subpar compared to other similar baby monitors.

The setup was extremely difficult. The instructions are not very clear, and it took me a while, and many false starts, to figure out exactly how to get it going.

The monitor relies on connecting to the manufacturer’s network and maintaining this connection for proper use. Unfortunately the network connection was very unreliable, and very frequently I was unable to connect to the monitor.

The picture quality is decent, but certainly not nearly as good as these devices have you believe from the advertising stills. It’s on par with some other low-end baby monitors that I’ve used and tested.

The monitor comes with two-way audio, but there was too much delay with the audio signal and the sound was all but incomprehensible. This was definitely one of the monitor’s weakest features.

A few good things that I can say about this baby monitor concern its design. It is very creatively designed, and it is fairly light and portable. It comes with a simple charging base, but the monitor is a bit too loose when placed there.

IP cameras are notoriously finicky and hard to use devices. I have dealt with several over the years, and have invariably been frustrated with all of them. This is why my expectations for this baby monitor were fairly low, but even so it did not live up to my expectations. It is hard to use, unreliable, and both the picture and the audio quality are subpar. IP baby monitors are a great idea in principle, but in practice they are mostly difficult to use. I would recommend that you check out instead one of the directly connected baby video monitors with its own included remote video screen. Those are not nearly as versatile, but they are certainly very reliable.
