BT Video Monitor, 16 July 2012

This is a well made product the main unit for the bedroom has a good weight to it so would be stable on a shelf or cabinet, there is a bracket that can be fixed to a wall and underneath the unit is a hole to fit to a tripod which would be easier than a hole in the bedroom wall.The video unit has a antenna on the top with a range of 300m (who would go that far away from baby)

a screen size of 2.8 inches is ample to see baby in his cot/bed.

There is infa red (black & white) for night time use and you get colour for daytime. The battery in the video unit is rechargeable just plug into the mains, the camera can be used with a wire plugged to mains or with 4 AA batteries (not supplied) but the unit will not charge them. The batteries do not last more than 2 nights so plugging to the mains is the best option.

There are 5 lullabies to sooth baby but you have to switch these on at the camera unit so make sure they are on before you leave the room.

This product is a...

love camera monitors!, 20 Aug. 2014

I really like this except last summer when my husband stood on the parent unit charger he broke it, sadly there was no way to get a replacement - we therefore had to buy the whole set again! (ouch!)

Anyway this week the parent unit charger broke again, this is poor as we just leave the plug in 1 place but I am delighted to say you can now buy replacements (from this number 0844 55 77789 - don't bother with BT customer care its poor) so I'm a fan again. Having just read some reviews on 2nd cameras I might be letting our 1st child go without a camera when next baby arrived though - what a shame it isn't a great design for dual use....

In general - the picture quality is great, sound is excellent, camera hangs nicely on wall above cot so no risk of wire getting tangled in him, I cannot imagine having a monitor without a camera, i LOVE seeing when he cries if its just a russle or if there's genuinely a problem - sometimes by going in you wake them. Also in a morning you can see...

Great Product, 5 Sept. 2012

I ordered this product for it to be used as a CCTV type camera for the use in the house. Having set it up and used the product, I think it is a brilliantly simple to use and great quality baby monitor and CCTV type of camera.

We have been having problems with the front door bell chiming when there is nobody there. I have wanted to buy a CCTV type of system to "watch" the front door for a while, but have always been put off by the cost and complexity of CCTV systems. It never occurred to me to use a baby monitor for the job, until I saw one on the Vine list. All I needed was a simple camera to watch the door and be activated by someone approaching. In essence this camera system does just that. Having positioned the camera unit, which can be plugged in or battery operated, we found the picture that was sent to hand held unit, to be very good. The motion sensor in the camera can pick up those approaching the door and we can now see if there is someone there when the...
