We have had the monitor for about 4 months now and really enjoy the "peep" mode and that you can adjust brightness and sound. However ever since we started using it the monitor will lose connection for several seconds at a time, every night we turn it on. Tried troubleshooting tips of removing electronics, resetting battery, switching plugs, etc. To no avail. There is only one room separating us and the baby and unfortunately one night my baby's screams had to wake me up instead of his softer sounds because the monitor had lost connection. Much of the time it is very helpful turning on for his little whimpers so I can take care of him quickly but I am very disappointed that such a big and important investment as a video monitor does not work properly all of the time.
My wife and I bought this less than 1 year ago. The connect has always been spotty. The microphone function never worked. The connection has now completely failed in a matter of months. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
This set is great--good quality, fair price. It has awesome features like the ability to take pictures and video, tilt throughout the whole room and plays songs. The range works well for us even when we're outside. The downside is the night vision feature... there's two blackout times for us: 1) when the sun rises and is peeking through the window (mind you, we still have blinds closed and blackout curtains) and 2) when the sun is setting and it's not quite dark out yet. The screen is just black. You can't see anything, but we can hear our white noise machine still. It doesn't have a temperature feature which would've been pretty handy, but not too fussed about that. The picture quality isn't as clear too at night.
We bought this to replace our Levana Astra and have been disappointed. PEEP mode does not work the same (does not turn off after activated). Also, this system is so sensitive! When a large truck passes our house it sets off the monitor, we have it set on the least sensitive setting. It also has poor range, it loses connection right outside the bedroom. I was so excited about this monitor and have been really let down. Only had it a month and already looking to replace it. Very disappointed.
I purchased this a little over a year ago and it's already not working. It was fine in our small 2 bedroom apartment but once we moved into a house I could never get a signal in my room. Very disappointed and of course the camera stops working just a few months over the 1 year warranty is up. Won't be purchasing a Levana product ever again!
