Baby Monitor with Camera and Audio, Portable VM36XL WiFi HD Camera, Touchscreen Display, App Connected, Long Range, Night Vision

so great bought for my second child as well.

So this was bought almost a year ago and just like other reviews, we knew it had connection issues with the handheld etc. but we saw this as acceptable as the phone connection was more stable. However as of yesterdays development I see this as completely UNACCEPTABLE! We placed our little to sleep and put the monitor on only to see the handheld was low so we placed it to charge while we monitored. Within a few minutes however we noticed a burning scent in the area, looking frantically for the source we couldn't find it. My wife getting worried grabbed the monitor only to yell out in pain as the charging cable burnt the inside of her finger slightly as she dropped it immediately. The device was disconnected from the power and the outcome was seen in the above pictures. It looks like the cable shorted causing the charging port to be overheated and start melting the cable and the handheld chassis. This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE because this could have ended wayyyy worse!!! Buyers be warned !!! This was the only incident that happened in almost a year but the severity of the results speaks for itself !

I use this in our master bedroom and the only thing I dislike is that the room needs to be bright for the camera not automatically change to night vision other then that it works great.

The smaller the better when it comes to extra screens around the house,your screen is very easy to hold, nothing is clumsy with the camera or the screen!

Didn’t connect to the Wi-Fi so couldn’t really use it how I wanted to there was no fix because it’s outdated software.

Motorola's baby monitors are seldom found atop the lists of "Best Baby Monitors", but they're often found on those lists and user reviews are usually fairly favorable. I don't know if Motorola makes these or just brands them, but Motorola baby monitors been around for some time now, garnering the normal assortment of cranky reviews along with positive assessments. I can't speak to long term use of this monitor. So I'm reviewing initial impressions. If I find things to be different over time, I'll come back and update. Motorola makes two basic forms of video monitors. One type connects solely to a handheld unit via 2.4Ghz radio. It's not wifi enabled. It's a basic unit with fairly long range usable only when both you and your baby are at home. The other type connects both to a handheld screen AND, via wifi to your phone. This type can monitor your baby both when you're at home and, via the app and internet, when you're away from home. This is Motorola's most expensive wifi model. It connects both to a handheld receiver screen and to your phone via the internet. Wirecutter, the review site, said it disliked Motorola's wifi baby monitor the least of all the wifi+handheld LCD monitor units it tested, but it didn't give any wifi unit a glowing review. However, when Wirecutter reviewed baby monitors Motorola was still using its Hubble app for phone connectivity--an app I've not used--and reviewers say that the new app used by this system is far superior to the old Hubble app. OK, a few noteworthy features with differentiation between this and less expensive models in parentheses: 1) Zoom is digital, up to 2X (other models range up to 4X digital zoom, a negligible difference, honestly). 2) Pan and tilt are motorized (vs digital pan and tilt and manual pan and tilt on other models). 3) 1080 resolution (vs 720p resolution on other Motorola systems). 4) 5-inch lcd screen in monitor is clear with good color and visibility (vs. 4.3-inch and non-touch screen in other Motorola systems). 5) Typical additional abiilities include: night view, 2-way intercom, room-temp monitoring, lullabies. 6) Camera mount included. 7) In-home monitor uses 2.4GHz radio 8) Motorola "Nursery" app available for IOS and Android. This is a fairly fancy video monitor system, capable for in-home use and able to work over the internet with your phone.

If you've ever used the Motorola Comfort75 baby monitor, you'll find that they made some big improvements in for the VM36XL. The biggest improvement being that the monitor now is actually touchscreen. So while they kept some of the better features of the Comfort75 (being able to remotely view around the room, temperature monitoring, two-way audio), they did make the monitor itself much easier to use (and with a flashlight option to boot). The other big improvement is the video quality. Motorola never really went into detail about the video resolution of the Comfort75 monitor. The new monitor is clearly HD with a 720p screen resolution. So not as crisp as an Apple or Samsung tablet, obviously. But significantly better than most baby monitor displays. These things don't have to be 4K obviously, it's not like you're trying to record video. It's just so you can see clearly enough to have peace of mind. The biggest benefit of going with this particular model is that it's Motorola. Obviously a name that every American knows. So you're not taking chances with possibly bad quality off-brand monitors. If you're shopping for a baby shower for a mom-to-be, you can't go wrong with getting her something from a name brand that she and all the other moms would actually recognize. You get about a month to test this monitor out, and decide if you want to return it. So the good news is that you aren't taking any risk by ordering it today. Try it for a few days, or a few weeks. If you don't like it, just send it back for a refund, you never actually risk your money. So my Wife and I would both recommend this particular monitor.

Horrible experience! The battery never worked properly, it left me frustrated several times with a baby on my lap. I contacted them asking for support, I did everything they indicated and even so the battery was still terrible. They simply stopped responding to my emails, made a thousand promises and so far nothing. Extremely disappointed with the product and the brand
