Panasonic Baby Monitor with Camera and Audio, 3.5” Color Video Baby Monitor, Extra Long Range, Secure Connection, 2-Way Talk, Soothing Sounds, Remote Pan, Tilt, Zoom,1 Camera, KX-HN4001W (White/Black)

Full 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.

This baby monitor is excellent Nice sensor, easy to use, and solid features. Great microphone, image quality and stays cool. Solid option to consider.

I love being able to talk to my kids through the camera - I have four, 3 under 5 and being able to hear them as well. The picture is crystal clear and the motion censor is a huge bonus!

I love this, especially the ability to move and pan the camera around to whatever angle I want it to be !

I purchased this product in hopes of it working on our front porch when the monitor is on the second story of our home. And it exceeded expectations, it works all the way down in our basement and is a great value for the price.

I bought it especially so that it would be simple to set up and use while traveling or on the go, and I couldnt be happier with the purchase. This is perfect for trips, around the house, or to give the grandparents for peace of mind when the kids are visiting (and its so easy that theyll feel at ease using it!). It is reasonably priced and does everything I need it to. Im completely satisfied with this purchase and its value, especially considering the lifelong warranty.

I love this monitor it has all the sounds and a very large range of viewing

just got it few hours ago and already set it up ( it was extremely easy to do) and using it in nursery. quality of video and monitor resolution is outstanding, no glitches while recording and on monitor. so easy to navigate and use. battery seam steady but I would definitely update my reviews after month of use. for now very impressed

Love and easy to set up

This is everything I was looking for. I love the color screen and the great night vision. The sound quality is perfect and the ability to talk back and forth through it is amazing. I’m so happy with the ability to choose soothing sounds. It has been a game changer.
