This is the first review I've written but, as an avid reader of reviews, I felt compelled to write one about this great monitor and fantastic customer service received from Charlotte at Edith and George. We were in the market for a new baby monitor after our other (very well known brand) monitor stopped working abruptly 2 days out of warranty.... hmm...! After A LOT of research and beginning to despair at the crowded market of baby monitors, none of which appear to have consistently good reviews, we decided to "take a chance" on the Lullaby Bay baby monitor and we are so pleased we did for the following reasons: Pros: Customer service is outstanding - emails are responded to within minutes and Charlotte posted out a replacement battery to us as soon as I contacted the company about the poor battery life we were experiencing. The battery was easy (albeit a little fiddly) to replace and solved the battery life issue straight away. Battery life is now great - on full charge and with screen brightness and volume on medium (not using VOX mode) I think it lasted about 5-6 hours before we got a low battery warning. Picture is clear - we only use it on night vision so can't really comment on day picture. Sound is good and the microphone "talk-to-baby" feature works well. Slim, compact and lightweight design of both the camera and parent unit. Range is fabulous - I have no idea how far it actually reaches but we get full signal in our garden the opposite side of the house to our baby's room! There is an easy on switch on both the camera and parent unit (we had to return a different make of baby monitor due to no on switch on the camera so I felt this was worth mentioning!!!!) VOX mode is great if you want to use this. Good length cable on both the camera and parent unit. Camera doesn't get overly hot like our previous monitor did. Temperature seems accurate (maybe 1-1.5 degrees higher than our thermometer). The time is really useful to have on the display (particularly when baby stirs in the night!) Very easy to set up and operate. There are a few cons which I would like to think the manufactures might consider addressing for subsequent models: Cons: A short tune is played on the parent unit and a soft "beep beep" is emitted from the camera every time they are switched on. We just make sure they're both on before we settle our baby. The tiny blue on light on the camera is suprisingly bright! We solved this by putting a piece of electrical tape over it. The menu on the parent until could be easier to navigate through. No zoom function (although picture is perfectly clear enough to see if baby's eyes are open)! No option to switch screen off but keep sound on. We simply turn the monitor face down at night. Bottom line - would we buy this monitor again? Yes, absolutely. The cons are more slight inconveniences which can be worked around and the customer service is so wonderful that if you did have any issues you can be assured they would be resolved immediately. Happy "International Small Business Day" Edith and George - keep up the great work!

I bought this product as we found that a simple audio monitor couldn't tell us when our son was in his cot, but quiet and awake, as opposed to actually asleep - he's been really bad a daytime napping so this is pretty important to us.. We picked this one because of the security element (it functions on its own network, rather than using wifi). The camera is a really good bit of kit - the picture is clear in both day and night modes, the sound quality is good too and the battery last long enough to cover a couple of day time naps without the unit being plugged in. I'm not sure about the thermometer on it as it usually has a different value to the separate one we have in our son's room, but it's a good enough indicator as to whether the room is getting hotter/colder and whether it's too hot or cold. The monitor unit did stop working for me after a few months, but the customer support has been excellent with a replacement unit sent out the same day and received the next. I can't recommend this device enough - it's been our best value purchase (along with a small standalone bath tub we got from John Lewis).

Previously we have used motorola video monitors, bought one in 2015, loved it, bought a second one, same model, for second child 2 years later and it was terrible, picture quality, battery life and everything was awful, we even returned it initially as we thought it was faulty as the picture was so bad but no that was just the monitor. So now the night vision doesn't work on this second motorola video monitor, so we thought we'd try another brand. There are so many video monitors to choose from at a wide range of prices so I settled on this one in the end due to the product spec and good the reviews. PROS - * Simple to use and set up (you literally just turn it on) * Really good picture quality, especially in night vision * Good battery life- I did one full charge overnight when I first got it and then it lasted a whole night and two long naps before it went down to one bar of battery and I charged it, so it still would have lasted longer. * Vox mode - screen only comes on when theres movement/sound - I just have it face down overnight and unless there is lots of noise the screen lighting up don't disturb us. CONS - (nothing significant) * You can't move the camera remotely but not a big problem (was just used to this feature from previous monitor) * When you turn the screen on it plays a little jingle which isn't necessary, which as another review stated, I'm an adult, I know when I've turned it on, also the jingle's really loud. *Bit fiddly to try and secure the camera up on the wall in baby bedroom. All in all it's a really good monitor.
