Review on ๐Ÿ‘ถ Motorola MBP33S Wireless Video Baby Monitor: 2.8-Inch Color LCD, Zoom, Enhanced Two-Way Audio & More! by Janet Edwards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

MBP33 vs MBP33S. The MBP33S is a good, if not ideal, choice for children aged 2+

The Motorola MBP33 worked great for us with one child but when we got a second we decided to go after keeping an eye out on a monitor would let us see both children at the same time. When I saw the Gold Box offer at Revain I decided to take a chance and buy the MBP33S and I was very happy with it. It is basically the same as MBP33 with the following differences: 1) Can display multiple cameras simultaneously in picture-in-picture mode. (MBP33 can also be paired with up to four cameras at a time, but you can view only one camera at a time or auto scan between them. MBP33 allows you to view one camera at a time and auto scan between all paired cameras or view two cameras in picture- in image.) 2) Motorola made a small improvement to the volume controls: now you can turn the volume off completely (while leaving the video on). It definitely helps if your child sings to himself during a conference call or something similar. 3) Significantly improved music. Like the Motorola MBP33, the MBP33S offers great picture and sound (including excellent night vision), great reception and allows you to talk to your child. The biggest downside for me when using this monitor for a two child solution is that you can't hear multiple audio streams at the same time. Even if you have multiple cameras connected, you can only hear the audio stream associated with the currently displayed camera (or the camera displayed in the zoomed view if you are in picture-in-picture mode). The scan function switches between audio and video streams every 12 seconds to let it do its job, but I'd like to see someone come out with a baby monitor that streams audio at the same time. I've looked everywhere and couldn't find it. Overall I think this is a good monitor for people who want to buy a monitor to use with multiple kids.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
