Amazing concept and close to great with 1 flaw. The picture quality is great. The camera is very well designed (although very big). The app is well thought out. However, the sound randomly turned off when I first got the device. This made it where I could not hear the baby.
After updating the firmware and re-installing the app on my phone, it started functioning well. Overall it is a very well thought out device and App. I would recommend to others.
Pros - great picture, very easy setup, "cute" design, unlimited range with wifi Cons - camera is a bit large, somewhat pricey, you will want to install a second app that dims your screen for night time viewing by your bed. Even on the dimmest setting, it was very bright while we were trying to sleep on my Note 4.pp.
The android app just launched this year and they are actively making tweaks to the app. I did contact their customer service and they contacted me back the same day with a solution to my problem. I am certain the app and software will simply continue to get even better. Although, it works very well now.
What I do like:
1. You can set up motion alerts so when the baby moves, you can see if he is waking up. My husband gets notifications for when I walk into the room. He likes seeing us while he is at work.
2. You can check on your baby while you are away. Set it up in whichever room you want and you can check on him while on date night. Spy on the grandparents while they are babysitting. LOL!
3. Night vision
4. More than one person can view the baby. You can add anyone to the monitor as long as they have the application on their device and they create their own account. So the sitter can use the monitor simultaneously while you are using it. Another great feature is that you can limit other users on what they can do.
5. You can speak to your baby. Although if confused him when I did it. He just sat there and stared at the camera.
6. You can listen to him when you press the button. We have an audio monitor that plugs into the wall so we don't use this feature.
7. Plays music (sort of)
8. You can record something funny the baby does while sleeping.
What I do not like is:
1. You cannot mount it
2. The music-The songs that come with it are not soothing AT ALL and you cannot delete them. To add more songs, they have to be in mp3 format, which is not the format that comes with itunes. The next song doesn't start after the first one ends. You cannot have them on repeat. So basically, you have to babysit the monitor and play the next song after each one ends. The music feature is a big deal for me since I normally have a playlist that is on repeat all night long. I guess I will have to get a cd player.
3. The motion sensor is ultra sensitive, even with the sensitivity on low. We get motion alerts all the time when he doesn't appear to be moving.
4. This monitor is not compatible with MAC!! Hello, it's called iBaby. You would think all Apple devices would be compatible.
Overall I like the monitor, but there are some things they can definitely improve.
Great WiFi monitor for the price.
What I like:
-Can easily toggle between two cameras
-Alerts for movement or noise
-Ability to move the camera angle from the phone
-easy set-up
-allows you to take video/still photos
Dislikes
-some connectibility issues
-picture quality could be better (and I believe is with higher models)
This is my first video monitor and was recommended by family. I must say, the video quality is very clear in both night vision and daylight. You can record your own music which is nice since there's only so many times you can hear twinkle twinkle little star without going insane.
The motion and audio sensor is extremely sensitive so your alerts can go off all night.
The one thing I didn't like was at one point the video feed froze so it was stuck on an image when the baby wasn't in the crib- that could scare the hell out of someone. I had to log out and back in to get it to work again.
I love this baby monitor! It's a little pricey but worth every penny in my opinion. You can't put a price on the feeling of knowing your baby is safe at all times. My daughters nursery is on a different level in my house and before I used to have to run downstairs all through the night just to check on her. Now I can open the app on my iPhone 5c and see her sleeping soundly. I looked at other baby monitors before purchasing this one but I am glad I chose this one. It has a lot of great features, the night vision is really clear and I like the two way audio to be able to talk to her to calm her down when she wakes up crying. It's a really great monitor and I strongly recommend you purchase this one, it meets all the standards parents are looking for.

This is amazing! Coming from someone who researched many a different baby cams and almost went with an expensive security camera but defaulted back to this due to it's reviews and ease set up. I really liked that it had the baby features too with songs that can be played thru the device amongst other things but the 360 degree view is the best by far! I can see around every inch of my daughters room and from top to bottom. I read some reviews of people complain about the light color and it's not blue it's red illumination for night time so shouldn't bother the little ones fyi. I love how we can access he camera wherever we are too even if on a date and checking in at home with sitter. Seriously such a cool device and very impressed with how easy it was to set up (took me 3 mins)!!
I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!! You can literally move the camera around 360 degrees! You can actually talk from your phone through the camera. You can choose from a handful of songs to play right from the app. You can record videos and even snap photos as you watch. You can even share the videos and photos right from your phone using the iBaby app. We used it to spy on our dog who was getting into mischief. WE LOVE THIS!!!
Love this monitor. We did discover that it works on a lower internet frequency ONLY (2.4ghz) and so we had issues in the beginning as we need our network on 5ghz and didn't have a dual-band router. We ended up having to buy a fancy dual-band router, one band (2.4ghz) for the monitor and our Nest thermostat and one band (5ghz) for our phones and computers that need a higher speed (or something like that- all I know is they are horrendous when used on the 2.4ghz band). Other than that, it does everything it says. We have been using it to spy on the dogs while we are at work since the baby hasn't quite arrived yet. Also- the night vision is superb.
I love these cameras! I got 2. One for upstairs and one for down. I can check on my baby from work to put my mind at ease and see her while pumping. The picture quality is great. Very few delays/ interruptions, even with the power going out a few times, they come back on easily without being re-hooked up. Works great with the iPhone.
Amazing. Night vision, the ability for two-way communication, and best of all is the ability to move the camera around. Hearing a thud, a normal audio monitor just won't do as I want to see right then if everything is all right. This does it VERY WELL. We have two of these and I can view and switch between both of them seamlessly in the app.
