Panasonic Baby Monitor with Camera and Audio, 3.5” Color Video, Extra Long Range, Secure Connection, 2-Way Talk, Soothing Sounds, Remote Pan, Tilt, Zoom - 1 Camera - KX-HN4101W (White)

Update: We must have received a dud, or maybe one that someone broke and returned and it was packaged up and sent out. I bought a new one just to see if it was a fluke, turns out it was. This monitor is phenomenal. The range is excellent, everything about it is excellent. I don't have a bad thing to say about it. The range for us turned out to be about 180 yards with multiple walls of interference. It's been close to a year with the replacement and it works as if it was brand new. Will buy for future monitor needs as well. This camera worked wonderfully for 3 whole days. I was so impressed with the video quality that I kept taking pictures of the screen. I included a daytime and nighttime picture of the screen. After day 3, either the camera or the screen completely crapped out. I either get lines through the screen such as in my included picture, a black screen, or a screen that has messed up contrast to the point you can’t see your child. I have rebooted everything multiple times, and it will work again for a day or 2, and then I have to do it all over. My breaking point was when I was watching the monitor and it had perfect clarity, and for no reason switched over to all the lines. There was no change in light or movement in the room, baby was completely asleep. Absolute garbage for the price. Very disappointed as we needed a long range monitor and this one had the best reviews for that. Will be returning.

My favorite things about this camera that I use for my grandbabies: 1. Panasonic’s baby monitor is long-range with a long-life battery 2. It provides the user with zero interruptions/alerts on your phone, because it has its own monitor, as opposed to a monitor that links to a mobile device. 3. Operates on its own frequency, so no one can tap into the Baby Monitor via WiFi. 4. The monitor provides great video quality and top-of-the-line features, such as Smart Sensors for motion and temperature. 5. The fact that it’s portable to bring to my house from my daughters or sons house. 6. It gives me confidence that my grandbabies are safe while I’m baking sourdough bread or working in my home office The Panasonic Baby Monitor helps to create the ideal balance because it is a dedicated, secure, long-range system that tells you what you need to know when you need to know it. I highly recommend this monitor for parents and grandparents alike

I really love this video baby monitor! It is so easy to use right out of the box. It has a nice clear picture, good sound, and great range! My little one sleeps upstairs and I can be downstairs across the house and it works perfectly. I love the smart notifications for sound, movement, and room temp. It is small so I can take it with us when we travel and I love that it doesn’t need Wi-Fi so it’s super easy to just set up and use.

We really loved this camera — it’s actually our second one (we accidentally broke the first). The first unit worked flawlessly, which is why we didn’t hesitate to buy the same model again. Unfortunately, this new one has been disappointing. It keeps losing connection randomly, even though we now have excellent Wi-Fi. At first, we thought it was a network issue, but it clearly isn’t. On top of that, the entire device often shuts off suddenly, even with a full battery. It’s a shame, because we truly like the design, image quality, and features. Hopefully this is just a defective unit — we’d be happy to exchange it for one that works properly.

We purchased this item 18 months ago. We have it mounted on the wall, which makes the viewing angle.. special, for the most part, but doable. The pan and tilt is a nice function but does leave a blind spot if you are trying to mount it above the bed. We just pulled the crib away from the wall a few inches and all was fine. We are now running into issues with it "charging" and sometimes it says there is an error. When you unplug it, it shuts off but turns back on when the charger is reconnected. Not a dealbreaker. Battery life is meh, especially at this point. It only lasts a few hours with no movement if it's not charging - but then again, I have a toddler now so it's really a moot point. We don't need the monitor all day long for a gazillion naps a day anymore. The zoom is okay, I rarely use it since we have it mounted above the bed. Motion detection and noise alerts are adjustable and work well, there is a constant volume on it if you have a noise machine going. To get it to stay quiet, you'll need to shut the volume off which may or may not work for some people but the screen lights up when there is movement or noise above the set threshold. The "extended" range is a joke. I'm sure it works better than others but by no means is this gonna get you very far. I can usually go outside and about 4 houses down (very close houses) before I start having issues. The main point of this "long range" was really to be able to walk to our bus stop and pick up the other kid if one was napping, it doesn't work. So I basically facetime an ipad and set up a stream from there to make sure everything is okay from my phone since they're secure in their crib. It works all the way through the house and into the yard so there's that, but we have a very small lot so if you have some land - you may not get the same mileage. Overall, not a bad purchase it has absolutely done it's job for this long and I'm not upset with this purchase. It definitely stretched the distance further than our first one that was a knock off video monitor. I prefer this one over that for sure but did wish it had a bit more range. Oh, but the temperature monitor is absolutely not accurate. We have a thermostat dot in the room after the monitor kept telling us it was 86 in there (it wasn't).

Pros: Love the range on this thing, very few deadspots around our 3 bedroom, two living room, quite large house. Picture and sound are always clear even if the signal appears weak. Temperature setting is a bit off by 1 or two degrees at time, but no big deal. Motion and sound detection sensitivity is great, along with the little icons that show up. Screen will be off unless there's an alert that will switch it back on (great for battery life), and there's a color indicator bar that you can customize according to color and what that color would mean according to the alert. The ONLY Con: If you turn the sound to full, things get static like a heavy metal guitarist shredding a solo while singing on vocals. Solution, just don't set the volume to max setting. Mid to Mid-high is plenty loud.

Je l’aie achetée pour la longue portée et je ne suis pas déçue , et l’image est super belle

Good quality overall. Nice to be able to remotely move the camera, define squares within the frame for monitoring and set different triggers. The build quality is good and solid for what it is. The lullabies are useful though still loud at the lowest volume and anything above the second volume sounds really bad. The speaker is probably the biggest weakness, but I think the other features make up for this. As this is the American version you'll need a plug adapter for Australian outlets. Shame there's no Australian version.

Additional camera works great

Some of the features aren’t convenient like the limited time to play a lullaby and the temperature sensor isn’t always accurate but other than that it’s great 👍🏻
