The camera quality is not HD at all. Picture was pixelated I could not get it to come in crystal clear even in a bright room....,
I've been needing a monitor with a camera so I could keep an eye on my Goffin Cockatoo(Bird). She's been hurting herself by plucking her feathers and basically self mutilating herself. Its hard to stand over her ALL day long while having to get work done, & tackling other task that need to be done. When this opportunity arose I was very pleased in testing/reviewing this product seeing its something I've been needing.
When it arrived, I checked that everything was in the package. I then wanted to read the instruction manual so I could make sure I hooked everything up right. The instructions were easy to follow and very detailed. After plugging the 7" Color LCD Screen & then plugging in the Digital Camera. I noticed the picture was not very clear. And I had all the lights on & the room was very well lit so I knew that couldn't be the problem. Besides its supposed to have night vision so either way I should have been able to see. The picture was really pixelated!
So I went back to the instruction manual and it said to wait a few minutes for the camera to warm up. Which that didn't make any sense to me. I waited 20 minutes and the picture was still really fuzzy. So I then tried re-coding it. That didn't work either! I even tried messing with the contrast & Saturation which I got it to come in a little clearer but not HD clear. It was still very low grade quality! I knew it wasn't because of the distance from the camera to the monitor because they were in the same room almost next to each other. So I then charged the camera thinking maybe the battery was low, but that didn't solve the issue either.
The sound worked great & the intercom on the monitor worked nice too. But the sole purpose of a video & monitor is to be able to see clearly & hear. Also in the description it says easy plug & play setup, NO PROGRAMMING NECESSARY. But it doesn't work completely out of the box so you have to troubleshoot & go through a HUGE ordeal and with the amount you would be forking out for this you should not have to go through such trouble. You should be able to pull it right out plug everything in & set it up where you want it to be and be done with it. Also it states it has a long range wireless/WiFi signal! BUT that isn't true because I had the monitor placed in my living room & the camera in my kitchen & the signal kept coming & going. The screen would go black then if I moved it a little it would cut back on! So it definitely doesn't have a long range WiFi signal. Also you have to have them both plugged in so you cannot walk around with the monitor. You will have to unplug & re-plug it back in when moving through the house.
So I am giving this a 3 star rating! I got a picture just not a crystal clear picture, the sounds works perfectly & everything that was supposed to be included was in fact in the box. Also the design of the camera is nice & so is the design of the 7" Monitor. The camera definitely needs some upgrading and I think once its upgraded this would be a great Baby Monitor.
I received this LCD Baby Monitor for FREE, in exchange for my honest & unbiased review. My opinion is 100% my own & based solely on my own personal experience with the product.
You can purchase this Baby Monitor on Amazon BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! Here is the link: Click Here!!!
