eufy Security Video Baby Monitor 720P

This is a really good monitor for all ages. My 6 year old wanted a camera in his room because he’s scared of monsters and I wanted to give him extra security. You can change the view of the camera from the monitor and it covers pretty much the whole room. He likes that I can talk through the camera to him as well. The video quality is decent for a monitor. The charge doesn’t hold well, so I keep it plugged in constantly. Easy to set up and good value for money.

Works great, just as advertised

I literally can’t make this up. I bought this as a replacement to one I already have that stopped working after 14 months, just outside of the year warranty (like many other buyers have stated). Opened the box. Plugged it in. Tried to pair the camera, and failed. After about 10 minutes I got it to pair but the monitor doesn't stay on. It just flashes off and on and unpairs with the camera like many others have had issue with.The fact that way more than a few people have said theirs died right outside of the warranty window should say something about this company. I reached out to them, followed all their steps for troubleshooting including updating the firmware (pain in the…) and nothing worked. Their next suggestion was to buy another one. I laughed, but apparently I’m not that smart because I did. Truly, when this thing works it’s great, but and this is a big but, Kids products need to work all the time, reliability, and durability matters! Peace of mind at night is clearly not important to this company, just grabbing Americans cash is.This isn’t the only company selling monitors based out of china but it’s the one you should stay as far away from as possible.

There are several gripes I have with this camera.I’ve been using it for 4 months as a baby monitor.1) battery life of the monitor is TERRIBLE. Lasts maybe 1 hour2) I have to use it with the micro -usb cable on and the port is on the right side of the monitor making it difficult to keep monitor standing in the table if the outlet is on the other side since it pulls.3) uses micro usb4) the plug area is so loose it falls off very easily. Very often I wake up to a dead monitor. Literally cable falls off with the slightest touch. Maybe I got a dud monitor?5) the monitor kick stand that pops out from the back is very flimsy cheap plastic with cheap attachment to the monitor. I’m afraid to use it lest it snap off on day.6) the monitor kick stand on the back makes loud noise (plastic slaps down on the plastic back of monitor) you want to close it up. This was so painful especially when baby is asleep even with a white noise machine my baby gets startled. Even if you try to do it slowly and gently it will still make a snap noise even if you release it from 1 millimeter away.7) the rounded edges of the monitor are not compatible at all to a iPhone /ipad stand. I prefer to use another stand such as a iPhone holder instead of the flimsy kick stand it has but alas it cannot fit traditional gorilla stand type iPhone holders. I especially need it when I take a shower and need to watch baby but alas I can’t do that. Instead I put it on the sink top and have to peak out from behind the shower curtain every 2 mins.8) there is a weird feedback loop noise that comes out of the camera head itself whenever there is a noise in the room. For example when baby cries you can hear the same cry echo from the camera. I have to keep the volume low for that reason lest it wake up the baby from its own sleep sounds. That makes it hard for me to hear anything going on from the baby monitor. I have to keep the volume down and even at the lowest setting (it won’t let you turn it completely off) , you can still hear the feedback loop if baby has a loud cry.9) it doesn’t have an easy off button. I wish it had an off button on the camera or monitor itself. I tried traveling with it once so I had to unplug it to put in my suitcase and it kept repeating “battery low” warnings the entire time until it completely ran out. I looked it up and apparently you need an app to turn it off. WHY?!?!?10) buttons on the monitor clicks so loud. So cringe whenever baby is sleeping and you click a button on the monitor clicks.The above are things I wish I knew before purchasing. There might be more but can’t think of any right now.2 stars bc the camera part works to show the baby. Has night vision which is good.I actually did research to try to find a no frills baby monitor that doesn’t involve fancy attachments to track breathing and temp (my opinion is overkill). I ended with this cheap dud. Regrets … I don’t usually write Amazon reviews but this pissed me off so often I finally caved and needed to vent.

Great quality camera and night vision is good. Monitor is also very clear and easy to use. Sounds is great and easy to connect monitor to camera. I wish there was a way to also connect to your phone! Very easy to set up.

We have used this monitor for 3 years. It has really great features and visual quality. But we have had to use two separate monitors for two cameras since having our second child. The process for updating the firmware, so that you can have one monitor connect to multiple cameras, is truly ridiculous.I tried this two years ago when we got our second camera, which was two years after buying the first. Because of the time difference, the new equipment would not pair. After trying for hours, continually getting error messages, files not being labeled what the eufy manual said they would be labeled, also having to buy a separate data transfer cord, etc., I gave up.Two years later (this past week), one camera broke (charging port piece broke off inside when inserting the charger) so I had to buy a new set. Again, nothing will pair. I thought they may have simplified things since I tried two years ago. Went through all the same headache of downloading files, error messages, etc. with the same result.So we will still have to continue to have two separate monitors for two cameras instead of being able to have one cycling through both. If you want one monitor to connect to multiple, buy them all at once so they have the same firmware. I can't afford to try and sell what ive got to buy all new equipment that pairs.Again, great monitor, which is why we have continued to use it through all this, but truly disappointing that there's not a simpler, more uniform way to pair equipment.

I love this camera! Very clear and so many great setting and features! Monitor battery is pretty good! And sound is good as well
