Almost perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the size, I love the clear display, I love the range and that there isn't as much interference as my old monitor brand. My only gripe is that it is just too quiet! I can't hear my daughter when she is just lightly waking, instead she needs to be yelling or wailing for me to notice. I do like that it is almost silent when she is sleeping and gets slightly louder when she makes a fuss though. I think that feature is helpful for new moms especially to help them get rest in the early days with baby. I do wish this model had the option for WiFi and I was disappointed when it told me to download the Motorola nursery app because there is no real benefit without WiFi.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't think it would be a good quality the camera but prove me wrong. I never owned a camera before so this is new to me. Love the camera moves around with pressing on the monitor. The monitor is a good size to view your baby or toddler. I love the volume control and so cool that you can talk to baby. It isn't HD but you can see good even at night.

Okay for a Basic Model

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We originally decided we didn't need a video monitor, so we just registered for an audio one. However, there were times when I thought being able to see inside the nursery would have been helpful, especially when my daughter was transitioning between active and deeper sleep. For this reason, I was very excited when BzzAgent offered the opportunity to test out the Motorola VM36XL. This is a base-level model without all the bells and whistles, such as Wi-Fi/app access or a mounting bracket. The picture quality is not the greatest, but it provides some comfort for us to be able to see our daughter while she is sleeping. One of my favorite features is the temperature sensor. My daughter's room is always different than the rest of the house so I would wonder if it was too hot or cold. Still, if I was going to purchase a video monitor, I would probably spend a little more for a higher-quality unit. Because the quick start guide only covered the physical buttons, not any menus, it took a bit to figure out the display panel and all the options. There was not a printed copy of the full user guide. We didn't realize the monitor had a zoom option until my husband found it just by playing around. I was also not aware of the power-saving mode. The first time I unplugged the parent unit to take it to a different room, I saw the 5 minutes message. I originally thought this meant how much battery life it had and figured there had to be a defect if it only lasted five minutes not plugged in. It took a few times before I realized the display was turning off to save the battery and you could easily turn it back on.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing monitor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was easy to setup. The picture was great on the monitor I used it for my son and I could see his entire crib and it made me feel safe about stepping out of the room.

Short battery life and indicator lights don't shut off

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery life only lasts a few hours so ok for a nap but not the whole night. Plus the indicator lights don't shut off and my baby is bothered by the lights. Even if I try to plug it in so it lasts the whole night the, the battery charging light is the brightest of them all in a dark room and flashes while charging.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pleasantly Surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a nice set up. Easy to plug in and start using. I like how you can move the camera and have the camera on or off. The temperature is also really handy. I'm not a fan of the night mode where it goes black and white. Not sure why, but ours keeps going back and forth between day and night modes and I can't control that. If the remote/viewer is dropped - there may be lines through the video and you can barely make anything out. However, if you restart everything it'll likely fix the problem. Overall, it's not perfect, but for a cheaper video monitor it's pretty decent.

Definitely get it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this monitor because you can connect to an app on the phone or use it with the monitor it came with. The image quality isn't super clear but I love the ability to rotate the camera (up&down, 360 around). I can keep an eye on my kiddo when he's asleep in bed and still have access to my phone. Really easy set up and usage!
