Has anyone used this as a baby monitor?

That is actually precisely Why I got it. It works perfectly. I have not had one issue with using it as a baby monitor yet. Even the sound is great. You only hear what you need to hear, there's no interference whatsoever. It makes a great baby monitor, and I would completely recommended for that.

Yes, that's what we use it for. We use a separate, plug in baby monitor for sound. It's great!

Yes, absolutly, I travel a lot and always I carrie my monitor with me and It always works very good. If I am in other place I can see my baby from my phone through the app.

Yes. We are using it to monitor our puppies. Works great. Even in black and white night vision mode. The two way audio is great too. Obviously you'd need to keep the app open all the time to use as a real time baby monitor. We use it for quick checks of the puppies when we are at home or away. Only complaint, it only allows one person to log into the app at a time.

I got this camera because a friend of mine has it and i saw it working. It is not the great thing, but i do not think there are many other options, and this works for me as baby monitor. I had no issues installing it and setting it up.But I need to agree that I saw many bogus reviews. lost of 1st time reviewers on a short period of time with comments that look too sub-real to me.I read several reviews before buying anything at amazon. I hope Amazon invest in keeping the reviews clean.

I had the same problem with this baby monitor. I returned it for the same model, and it happened again after a few weeks. I decided at that point to exchange it for a different brand baby monitor (Angelcare).

No. Overall this camera is better than most available baby monitors, but depending on your needs it might be worth looking into security type camera systems as well

yes, i use it just for night and maybe if you want to record a nice video this wouldn't be it but for monitoring the baby this is gr8 perfect for the job!

Definitely doesn't work 100% of the time. There are frequent hiccups, but its generally tolerable. It 100% does not operate in real time. There is usually a 4-7 second delay. I didn't think it was the biggest deal at first, but I wanted the monitor in order to hear my baby's SIDS monitor. So it wasn't great for that. I bought an audio monitor that works in real time.

Just FYI, I called the actual maker of the old Philips 2 parent baby monitor, and they still had a few left that they were willing to sell for 199.00 to customers. So if you really have your heart set then you could probably call and get one easily. I wasn't willing to pay that much for two monitors. I will just have to make one work for now.

Yes it does let you watch and listen in real time. The church I used to work for used it as a monitor for their childrens daycare during services - it worked very well for that. They had plans to expand it to the children being able to watch the services.

Yes. If you touch the power button the screen goes blank but audio remains on. You must press and hold the power button for the power to go all the way off.You didn't ask, but I will also say that you should keep the monitor out of reach of your kids. It isn't very durable. We've been using ours for 7 1/2 months and some of the controls are starting to fail.

No! But I highly recommend choosing another monitor; the customer service with this company has been awful. Only after I returned the item was I contacted by someone who seemed genuinely interested in keeping my business!

Audio quality is not as good as a real baby monitoring and depends on how close you put the monitor to your baby. I personally do not use it for audio but is great for visual. There are many apps you can purchase for your iPhone but again audio is not the best when used remotely. I have FiscamPro. I think it's the best compared to others. You can use your apps to control your camera views and many other functions.

If you are referring to a baby monitor, no there is not. It has intercom, but that is about as far as it goes.

there is a built-in mic which allows you to hear your baby. the image is pretty good, but gets "grainy" after about 5ft distance. it also has night vision which i think is an excellent feature. the monitor allows for upto 4 cameras so if you purchase additional cameras, you can switch which camera you want to view.

Pretty expensive for a baby monitor but you could if you wanted to. There are some pretty good "baby monitors" made just for watching your baby even at night. I would check Amazon under baby monitors. Now if you are planning on having just one camera watching the baby and the rest monitoring the rest of the house, then I don't see a problem, you could use this system for that very purpose.

Baby Monitor HD by SunshineApps is the app recommended by the WiFi Baby people and works well for us. The added benefit is that if you have a technical question or issue with the monitor's function with your mobile device, the tech help guys will be very familiar with the app and easily walk you through the correct settings, etc. I'm not sure how experienced they are with other software. Anyway, I can't imagine any other app working better, although maybe some others are cheaper. The WiFi Baby recommendation was good enough for me.
