We bought the camera and audio unit package. We have been using this product for about a month. Overall we are pleased with its performance and features. It is clear a lot of thought went into how a parent would interact with the product and how the product would make a parents’ life easier. We like the ability to use our phones for visual monitoring but just as often we have the audio of our child running in the background. It is great that both my wife and I can view from our phones (iPhones in our case - a 5s and an 8) and not have to share a screen between us. We do adjust the sensitivity settings in some situations (ex. the camera was reacting to shadows on sunny day when the curtains were blowing), but this is easy to do, as are adjusting any of the other options.
I haven't read too many other reviews written by others but I haven't seen anyone mention this -- We also use the camera and audio monitor as a home security system when we go away for more than a day, setting the camera up in the basement corner monitoring the door and window entry points ( the wide angle camera easily covers these), with the audio unit setup centrally in first floor hallway, where it can capture sounds from all the different possible entry points. Why not, right?
Love the image quality - like others have said, the night time quality is amazing! You have the ability to set the image quality from low to high, and while the HD quality is as great as you would hope, the lowest quality setting is honestly way more than adequate, so if you have connection quality or throughput issues, you should be fine.
We did initially have a couple of connectivity issues but after a software upgrade those issues have gone away. The initial quality (from product to software to packaging) is impressive and that attention to detail - and the company's responsiveness to concerns - makes me think the company is committed to this product and will be making ongoing enhancements. In other words, it DOES feel like this is one of those technology investments that will be supported and we will be happy we purchased versus choosing something that is all the rage today but is dead in the water 6 months from now.
Would recommend this product to family and friends.
