So far we are happy with it. We do however leave a sound machine on and sometimes it cuts in and out when we leave it on. Also did not come with any set up instructions but was pretty self explanatory but a little booklet would have been nice. Also like everyone said the loudest sound is not really that loud. Would like it to be louder.

I feel much more confident sleeping while my infant is in their own bedroom with my Levana monitor. I can also keep an eye on my toddler. I am very satisfied with this product.

My in-laws bought this monitor for us when we moved our baby into her own room. We wanted a monitor where we could see them both on a split screen. We've especially loved the ability to talk to our girls over the monitor, especially since we sleep on different floors! We leave our monitor plugged in on our night stand at night and bring it downstairs not plugged in for nap times so the battery life has been fine for us. Customer service is great and we received our monitor in about 36 hours with regular shipping...that was impressive. I'd recommend these monitors for any parent looking for peace of mind.

Great all around dual camera setup!

I purchased this unit a few weeks ago and we are very pleased. I researched dual camera monitors for several months looking to replace a discontinued motorola set up that we were very happy with but could not purchase a second camera after having another child.
This unit is a great value, it doesnt do everything but what it does, it does well. We really like that when the camera detects sound the arrow pad lights up. The sound indicator was very important to us so we would not have to have the display on all the time.
Pros: Easy set up
Visual sound indicator
Above average picture quality
Large display

Captive home button easy to touch in the dark when trying to select the up arrow to switch cameras.

We also purchased the docking station. It came with an extra battery that charges in the back. We put the extra power cord in the kitchen so we never have to worry about runing out of juice.

HUGE SCEEN AND CLEAR TO SEE HER CUTE LITTLE NOSE

My little girl is 14 months and we are expecting our second - we got our first monitor ( Levana Ovia ) just now. The reason is that I researched and read reviews for months before buying. Got our Ovia and LOVE IT ( two camera package ). My daughter is a extremely light sleeper ( wakes up when we run kitchen tap ) and Ovia camera is super quiet * almost literally unheard. ... she doesn't wake up and can NOT hear it when awake when moving it around.
Here are some things I love about Levana Ovia ...
Large screen on monitor... can even see her little soother in her mouth ( not even using zoom ) when camera is mounted 11 feet away from crib ........ night vision light on camera are unseen/ invisible in nursery - my little ones eyes light up/glow which at first I thought that's a little scary - but after first night I LOVE that - I can tell if she is peacefully resting with eyes open or closed easily ...... the " talk to baby" button is clear and read sounding no echo or feedback which doesn't scare her when I talk to her :) Cameras look sleek and modern ( and not many nooks and crannies for dust ) . Customer service is awesome ! I talked to them for days before buying and they were happy to answer all my questions. It also comes with additional (separate purchase ) dock for nursery camera so it can go wireless .. which I plan to get TWO of and use them during the day when playing in room ( when I make supper ) .. so there is no cords / dangers. .. then use the plug at night. The additional docks also mount to wall or as a " shelf " so this enables the camera to change the viewing angle a bit .. which I would image I would prefer to mount as shelf option. The OVIA system also has capabilities to adding up to 4 cameras .. we only plan to have two . but then after I got it thought .... oh I really might like one for play room also! .. so good to keep options open for future ideas and have the allowance of more for later. After my purchase of course I thought .. even thought I LOVE IT .. what if there is better ?? So my husband purchased the SI baby touch wifi ( first letters of brand ) and wow the Ovia far passed it ! The SI was very sharp/clear but pixilated and hard to see details ( cant see soother in mouth even WITH zoom) and to add to it the monitor was smaller compared to OVIA . SI wifi camera in nursery had green light that went around and around in circle ( parents cover with tape .. but that defeats it purpose ) . The SI wifi camera is silent but heard each and ever pan or move .. my little one points to it when she is still awake each and every time. The SI wifi also " talk to baby" is echo like your in a tin can and sounds a little scary ( unlike the OVIA that latterly sounds like your in the room ) . So our mind is made up .. We are thrilled and so happy with the OVIA far surpassed our other test monitor !! .. I would say the only downfall is ... its a little bulky and yes as other reviews say the monitor foot stand isn't that great.. making it different adjustment angles would be awesome ( so I don't have to lift my head out of bed to see screen ) but I think that Levana put all their efforts into clean picture ( 860 x 480 resolution <-----best of the best) / far range /awesome looking camera .. so the little and only downfall of the monitor stand is overlooked very easily !!! OVERALL .. we ARE IN LOVE with our OVIA and regret not making up our mind earlier as cry it outs are less stressful and therefore her sleeps / self soothing's are effortless now that I can see her and know she is just in her crib safe and sound. Months and months of research paid off and I am confident we have one of the best systems a parent can get :)

Levana ovia

I have the ovia moniter and love that you can add additional cameras since we have just had another baby! And the range on it is awesome! The pan and tilt option is also so handy to have as well! We did have some problems with our antenna and I had Sarah with customer care help me out with my issues and she was helpful.

I'm love my new Levana monitor!! The only con I've noticed in the range in our household isn't the best. So, I occasionally have to place it a little farther away fro where I am to get good reception. Overall though, I am very happy with it!! Being able to keep track of both my newborn and my 3 year old is great!!
