I bought the product on June 1st. Everything working fine for 6 weeks, then the monitor stopped turning on altogether. I believe the product is defective and should be replaced.I had much higher hopes for this monitor set than it has. We also have a vtech monitor so that is my main point of comparison.The quality of the video is mediocre and with night vision on it’s fairly poor.The monitor piece batteries are very short lived when unplugged from the charger. I can have our vtech 7” monitor unplugged and on almost all day and it doesn’t die. This monitor can be unplugged with the screen off and is dead within an hour or two.The camera angle is also not very helpful unless you have a very large room. It’s not a very wide angle and it’s difficult to get everything you need to see in view.I also recently tried the sound machine function and was not impressed with that either. Even on the lowest level it’s so unbelievably loud I am concerned having it too close to my baby.If you can live with one camera instead of two, I would recommend the vtech 7” over this one.We had another Amazon baby monitor for about 1.5 years that took a crap on us, so we were forced to get another one.The downside to this one is you are unable to move the camera from the monitor. You have to manually rotate the camera which is highly inconvenient with a very movable toddler.The pros are it has GREAT picture quality and the sound is great, we love the bigger screamer and that you connect multiple cameras to it.Overall this is a great camera and monitor, I just REALLY wish we were able to move the camera from the monitor itself.Baby monitors have gotten complicated/fancy. This one is refreshingly simple - just plug both the monitor and camera in and turn them on, and you're pretty much good to go. The picture quality won't blow you away and the camera isn't as adjustable as some but if you just need a basic way to watch the baby, this will do the job.The picture quality on these baby monitors has been fantastic as a standard. The extended range on this model is a particular bonus for me. The night vision is crystal clear. Double cameras for double needs.So nice to have a way to keep and eye on the baby as well have the ability to play music for the child. I really like having two cameras we have one placed a fair distant away to get a wide overall view and one that is closer for that closer watch.The temperature monitoring is nice and having night vision is really a great feature.Overall, a great purchase. Recommend.I really wanted to love this baby monitor due to its independence of needing to use my phone for their app to see video and it does not use WiFi (for safety reasons). However, even though it did come with 2 cameras, the clarify of the live video and lack of degrees in visibility do not make up for the extra camera it comes with. If, however, having a second camera means a lot, this would be a nice monitor to consider purchasing.Motorola makes a variety of well-reviewed baby monitors. I've owned several systems by Motorola, and they have performed reliably. When purchasing a monitor system you need initially to decide whether you simply want a home-based monitor for when you and your child are both at home, or if you want a system that works over the internet and thus can be used with your phone remotely. Phone based systems are often more convenient for home use as well, since you're probably in ther practice of keeping your phone with you even at home, removing the need to carry around a separate video monitor.Motorola makes two types of video monitors. One type connects to a handheld unit via 2.4Ghz radio and is not wifi enabled. it's a basic unit with fairly long range for use only when both you and your baby are at home. The other type connects both to a handheld screen AND, via wifi to your phone allowing you to monitor your baby both when you're at home, and via the app, when you're away from home.This is not a wifi model. It connects only via 2.4Ghz radio to a handheld receiver screen. It DOES, however, include two cameras so you can watch two children in two separate locations with your handheld screen. The screen works with one camera at a time, or with both camera feeds displayed on a split screen. Handling of the two views can be frustrating to keep baby or child in view at times....OK, a few noteworthy features. This is a very basic, non-internet enabled monitor system from Motorola. Its unique selling point is that it comes with two cameras. But the video screen is low resolution and small. OK, other details:1) Zoom, pan and tilt are digital (manual tilt of camera is possible on setup--the connecting stalk can be tilted).2) Camera is capable of 1080p resolution, I believe, but screen can't handle that full resolution and so higher resolution from camera is meaningless.3) Monitor battery life under three hours...4) 4.3-inch lcd screen in monitor is clear with good color and visibility. Better systems have 5-inch monitors and some have 1080p resolution but this screen is capable only of displaying 480x2725) Typical additional abiilities include: night view, 2-way intercom, room-temp monitoring, lullabies.6) Camera mounts for wall included.The only reason to get this system is if you're looking for the cheapest video monitor option from Motorola with two monitors. Otherwise, you would be well-advised to get an intenet-capable system from Motorola like the VM65 which improves upon this system in many ways while only costing $70 more.
