Nice camera, just some concerns I read.

Good camera, just a few concerns I've read in other reviews that I agree with: 1. The temp sensor can't be over the chamber, bend it away from the chamber due to chamber heating ; 2. There is no ONVIF protocol, so adding this camera to NVR is quite difficult, but I was able to add it to my Synology;3. There is a 1 or 2 second delay for the picture and sound; 4. 720p doesn't really feel like 720p compared to a normal 720p camera like a Gopro or even a Sony Cybershot5. Prepare to have your…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Weak dial

I love this monitor!

This monitor is fantastic. It's very technical, but it was very easy for me to set up and install the app on my Android phone. I love that I can talk through the built in microphone, I can turn on music when my daughter wakes up and that it has a built in thermometer. I was even able to take a picture with my camera and send it to my mother. My favorite features are the on-screen icons that tell me how much sound or motion has been detected. I love having this app on my phone so I can test it…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Baby monitor Revision

The size is big enough The light sensor is very limited, there must be a lamp on top so that the night mode does not activate. . The time is not updated with the IOS repository, click on "Update" and nothing happens. I'm tired and there's nothing to tune. This is a headache. Click is not allowed to set events, you can only choose from 6 presets in Ios. Android allows a few more options. Motion sensitivity is very poor. Mobile. The sound is poor and can be heard with long delays. You must use…

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Bad instructions

Nice high tech stuff!

I've reviewed other things like shoes and t-shirts before but nothing was that difficult before so this review will be a bit more difficult too. Pros: 1. Setup was pretty easy.*2. Can access the camera from a phone, tablet or laptop (I don't know why anyone complained about not having access through the browser, but it may have been before the new firmware update). If you have mydlink you should be able to access it from anywhere, which is pretty handy, although I've only used these features on

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I'm not sure

2 stars for mileage

We bought this product because our 4 year old has trouble sleeping and needed to pinpoint how much sleep/waste he was getting. After much research, we decided on D-Link's 825L. At first the product was good. I had to call tech support because the instructions that came with the camera are very limited. They have instructions online but I still needed a tech support person to help me learn all the features of the camera. After figuring all that out, the camera met our needs for about a month…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

As a proud parent of a newborn daughter I wanted to build it into a baby monitor. I wanted an IP (WiFi) camera. It appears that non-IP cameras implement their own proprietary protocol for transmitting video to a display device. They appear to rely on frequency or channel changes for security reasons. It seems like a weak defense to me. So it was important to me to have a camera that uses WiFi (802.11a/b/g/n) and at least WPA, if not WPA2. Finally, I wanted a camera that didn't have to use the…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Write later

Normal camera, terrible software!

I bought this camera with high expectations as it ticks all the boxes we wanted in a new baby camera. When we first received and tested it, we were impressed with the ease of setup and the clarity of the image/video day and night. We then installed it in our children's room and no longer needed to use it functionally until our son was born 3 months later. After using it to extend our viewing time we found that while the camera is great the phone software/app is rubbish! It freezes and loses…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Long wait

This is the best baby camera I can find

I've tried almost every high quality baby camera and this is the best camera in terms of overall features, video quality and ease of use. It's solid and doesn't feel like cheap plastic or poor quality like I've found with many other cameras in this category. I wanted an HD camera that I could view on my iPhone or computer and didn't need an internet connection. This camera gives you the ability to connect to your regular Wi-Fi signal and view it securely from anywhere over the internet. Another

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • Hard to say
