> 24 hourFull disclosure: *I’ve never owned a baby monitor before so have nothing to compare this to; I totally love this thing but don’t know if it’s any better or worse than the average one! *We don’t use it for a baby So… that said, this does everything it claims in the listing and the least tech savvy among us can have it set up and working within minutes. (Not counting the recommended 8 hr charging time at first use). My mom recently took in 2 young stray cats and as they slowly assimilate into the house/meet her other cat, they primarily stay in our spare bedroom. Probem is, she is a nervous Nelly and wants to check on them so often that she inevitably wakes them up and then they want out to reek havoc. Let sleeping cats lie, you know? So this has been absolutely ideal to solve her anxiousness about what they’re up to. We initially had it on a small table but then mom decided she wanted a higher vantage point; we opted to install it onto a decorative piece she already had leaning up again the wall. The range is fantastic, we can see every cat hiding place and sneaky angle in the room. The settings are all intuitive, easy, fuss free. The camera needs a wall outlet, but fear not — the cord is VERY long. The picture quality isn’t mind-blowing but is still more clear than I’d expect at this price point. Toggling the camera is a little slow, there’s a bit of a lag, but whether bright and sunny or dark, I love that my mom can see what’s going on 24/7. She turns this thing on about 3x an hour, so its getting a workout. We turned off the motion sensor alert and some of the other features we simply didn’t need because: they’re cats. The microphone feature is great tho, should you want to speak to your ‘baby’, the volume is quite loud, we turned ours down to low and problem solved. The main reason I went ahead and requested this Vine item is that it didn’t need an app or ask to invasively use our network. I am one of those that resents having to give permissions to apps that do the silliest things… so while many folks will shrug that off as no biggie, if you too appreciate privacy, I highly recommend this. The monitors battery life is pretty good tho it does take quite awhile to charge and there is no alert or light up feature that tells you it has completed charging. This is my one complaint and my one complaint only. The monitor is said to work within as far as 1500 feet but short of me walking down the alley to see, I’m too lazy to check that out. Easy five stars. This has been a strangely helpful addition to our infant-free household.

> 24 hourVery clear image and it has extra features like tempature alerts. I especially like that you can control how long certain features are on for. It was convenient that it came with the mounting items as well, I didn’t even think to mount it until I seen the screws and plastic mounting bottom. It also has a lifetime warranty which is always a plus.

> 24 hourAll of the problems that I’ve had with baby monitors are not existent in this unit. The connection is strong and reliable. The picture is vibrant and clear. And the battery lasts a very long time. It also has a variety of features that can alert you. As far as I’m concerned this item lives up to every single promise that it’s marketing mix. The build quality and fit and finish are excellent. And it’s the first one that I’ve tried where I don’t lose signal anywhere in my house and well out into the yard. So if you’re looking for a baby monitor you have found it here. I suppose it could also be used for pets small children or whatever you want to keep an eye on. I’m generally impressed with Panasonic products and this one is no different.

> 24 hourThe camera is super easy to set up and use. I love the price point and the bonus that it comes with the ability to mount it on the wall. The viewing screen is a little small, but definitely would not deter me from purchasing

> 24 hourWe have tried others, but this one is the best! It has great range and a super clear picture. The white noise and lullaby option is great, and I love all the extra settings you can adjust and use. I also love that it doesn’t use WiFi so we never have to worry about safety or outages.

> 24 hourThis was a perfect gift for my friends expecting daughter! I had to test out the picture and range so its not set up permanently. However, the unit worked just as stated, no surprise from a Panasonic product. I would recommend purchasing the warrantee though. I have read that there were problems occasionally with it shutting down after a year of use. Some types of walls may prevent this unit from the complete 1500 foot range. AND it does not record if you are looking for a more advanced model, this is not it. Its simple and easy to use.
