A few questions. suitable for video monitors

I don't usually choose WiFi monitors but wanted to try this one because our regular monitor has poor range and battery life. The first one we received had some issues, the night vision wasn't working properly so I sent it back and got a replacement that worked fine. Here are a few ideas I'm thinking of after using it for a month: 1. The temperature sensor seems a little off. Our other monitor seems to be more accurate. Our readings are slightly colder than actual room temperature, maybe 2 degrees or so, sometimes even more.2. The picture quality is good but it may also depend on your phone's connection - poor connection/picture may not be that clear etc.3. Panning works smoothly/well enough and has a good range of motion.4. The app isn't the best. If you have it open on the screen the whole time, it stays connected and the sound works all the time. There is an option to run it in the background (so you can use other apps on your phone and still hear sound), but that doesn't work for me. It frequently crashes and I have to go back to the app where the camera tries to reconnect and it can take a minute or so for it to actually happen. I briefly checked out the narration and music which is a nice feature especially the stories I haven't seen on any other monitor before. My little one doesn't really like it as she has a night light that plays whatever music she prefers. You can also add a personal note, which is nice.6. It has a diary where you can log activities, feedings, change of clothes, etc. This is especially helpful for new parents as I used an entirely separate app for this. I like how it is built in, it would be very helpful for me then.
