My granddaughter is legally blind. Do you have a blue padlock? The reason I ask is because she can't see most colors on white. Same problem with black

In my opinion, the Blue is the worst for visibility. The stickers are dark blue with black text - almost impossible for me to read except under a bright light. However, the great thing about these locks is that once you remember the sequence you don't have to be able to read the sticker labels. Also you can choose a simple sequence or a more difficult one. For my work locks I use an eight movement sequence. For my son's lock I use a four movement sequence. I love these locks.

The unit doesn't simply see into darkness: it still has to have some kind of light reflected back to it in order to see anything. That's where those little dots around the camera lens come in. They're infrared lamps, and they're really nothing more than little flashlights, except they're sending out a wavelength of light we can't see with the naked eye. Take the best, most expensive night-vision goggles used by any of the top military units in the world, and they won't see a thing in the dark without their accompanying infrared lamps. Take another look at the lamps around the lens on the baby unit - they're incredibly tiny and not very powerful (the MBP20 is a pretty bare-bones model, after all, despite all the touted features). Picture a very tiny, weak, regular flashlight and imagine the feeble light THAT would put out in a dark room, and you'll understand why Motorola had to put four of the IR lamps around the lens instead of just one. So that's the science. Now for the actual suggestions. Low-tech and cheap: Find a way to move the camera closer to where the action is. If you're trying to use the night vision feature then you're obviously trying to watch your child while they sleep, and the camera doesn't have to take in a wide field of vision. Just try to position it closer to the crib or bed. High-tech and relatively cheap: You can purchase an additional (and much more powerful) IR lamp for around $40 online, and you can also probably find one in your local sporting goods or home security stores. Your child will still be sleeping in total darkness, but the MBP20's infrared camera will be able to see much, much more. This won't make the video screen on the parent unit any larger, but it should maximize what you can see. Good luck! .

First try to change the inputs a few times to see if that works. For me I tried to use their screen fill feature and when I did the screen turned blue. I was about to return it when I tried connecting it to a blue ray player and it unlocked it. Since then I have not tried to use that feature and have had no problems with it. This is technically a flaw in the monitor that I'm over looking because I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it and when Canon releases the firmware update at the end of this month it will allow for a full screen view and at this price point you cannot find a monitor with HDMI out and in, which I love. If this does not help, you may have a defective unit and need to return it. Hopefully that helped, good luck.

My problem was similar. Some of the keys don't work. I still have it from Christmas. Had to buy my granddaughter a new one from Walmart.

The red ones seem to be the ones that don't work for me either. It must be something about how they detect it is dark. No suggestions, other than it would be nice if they sold sets of the same color!

I just received a pair today and used a color spectrum test image (and I'd tried others as well). Here's a link to it if you're interested. https://www.paleohacks.com/sleep/will-plain-red-or-orange-lenses-block-blue-light-for-sleep-17104 These were the only glasses that showed true blue blocking. I'm thrilled as I spend way too many hours under fluorescent lighting and in front of a computer screen. At my my age I couldn't care less whether they're stylish or not. I do like the S1933X though, better for comfort... lightweight.

I gave this as a gift to my 8 year-old nephew. In the meantime, he developed some serious eye problems & has been unable to use his headphones to play any computer games or his iPod because he can no longer see the screen because of a patch over 1 eye & instructions from the ophthalmologist to stop watching TV & using all computer screens until his eye heals for 6 mos. Apparently, this is an increasing problem for children who play a lot of games for hours. They're developing eye strain and it's pulling on their retinas. I wish I had a answer for you: but I did want to pass on that piece of info as a warning in case your child is using the headphones for this reason. I gave this as a gift to my 8 year-old nephew.

Hmm, mine was only blue, I would email the seller or manufacturer, it could be a recent change as well.

My lock works perfectly, but as for as night viewing no way. My keypad really only lights at the top keys not the lower when any button is pushed. For me, if I forget to turn on a porch light; it is useless to view at night. It would be so nice if the keys would just be visible at night. This is a new battery as I just installed the lock.

Hi Cheryl...one idea is I can make a copy of my key and send it to you. I'm assuming it's the "same" lock. I'm working away from home right now and may not be able to get it to you very fast. When do you need it by and I can see what I can do ??

Not sure ... i am considered color blind because i cant pass the ishahara test ...but i can see colors just fine , such as traffic lights & rainbows etc. the oxy Iso glasses did not help me at all ...in fact , i made my own glasses with a $ 5.00 pair of lightly tinted glasses from walmart ..popped out the lenses ..put red thin film over the lenses & popped them back in ...with them i can see 19 out of the 24 ishahara plates ...anyway if you want to try the Oxy-Iso glasses they are super easy to return and get a full refund on if they dont work ..which i doubt they will anyway ...hope this helps ...good luck !!!

I'm almost positive she has button eyes. I remember commenting on the buttons. I gave it as a gift and the little girl loves it!

I prefer the key, I thought about the combination lock but didn't think that it was secure enough from a child playing with the lock and getting lucky. A curious child will eventually figure out the combination. At least with a key I know that as long as it's on me I've got the way in....provided the child/person doesn't have a screwdriver and hammer.

The contrast is not as high as the white-on-black, and the letters themselves are offset to the right (so that the QWERTY letters still show through). If the white itself is the problem, then I suppose it might be more helpful, but the blue letters are translucent on a transparent background.

I think it is just a special color that is not always available. I have two different colors (red and blue) and color is the only difference.
