Lousy picture, slow to update picture, not for baby monitoring Nov 25, 2006 By AG Bell
I bought this camera (actually the entire phone set-up) primarily to use as a camera for monitoring kids. First off, the picture quality is bad. The resolution of the screen on the phone is low and the picture refreshes about once every 2 seconds or so. In addition, you cannot continuously monitor a room - the camera shuts off every 10 minutes and has to be "called again" to resume monitoring. If you pick sensor mode (which one would assume you could use to continuously monitor a room), the camera, along with sound, still shuts off, but you get an annoying "ring" if the mic in the camera picks up a sound - it doesn't automatically resume audio/video transfer, you have to connect again. So in short, you can't use this thing as a baby monitor (you'd be up all night reconnecting or responding to ringing), and it wouldn't be particularly good for the elderly either. It also requires good lighting in order to get any kind of viewable pic - there goes night-time monitoring. On the plus side, the phone is good - good reception and features. Too bad about the camera though...

Decent. More convenient (but limited in features) than a wireless network camera Feb 10, 2007 By M. Masuyama
As the other reviewer mentioned, the picture quality is very poor, and the camera is useless in low light settings. So, as a baby monitor, it's not the greatest of products out there.

But, you can change the screen refresh rate, as well as sensitivity of the "ringer," which does improve it somewhat -- the increased refresh rate, however, does reduce the already low quality image. I actually use this to monitor my pets -- for that purpose, it works out fine.

Compared to a wireless camera to attach to your home wireless network, there are some drawbacks to a cordless-phone network camera:

-Lack of low-light settings. Some wireless cameras even feature infrared these days.

-No ability to move the camera remotely (although it does zoom).

-No way to monitor from remote locations outside of the phone's cordless range, as opposed to network attached cameras that can be accessed through the Web.

That said, the convenience is that you don't need a computer/laptop to see the video. That, for me, is a big plus -- just a couple of buttons away from anywhere within the cordless phone range. I can be outside the house, and so long as I have the phone with me, I can see the video image any time. No need for extra gear: just the phone, which I use anyway.

It also does work as an intercom, which is good for fun, but I haven't sorted out what usefulness it really has.

Overall, kind of a gimmick, but satisfied with the purchase. The phone system itself is a fantastic system.

Outstanding technology! Jun 23, 2008 By S. Z. Cheema "Tech. Enthusiast"
The camera is PERFECT as a baby monitor!!!

It's sensitivity is adjustable, you can zoom in, adjust the brightness... I have my camera hooked up to the intercom function on our phone set. When my baby cries, every phone in the house rings to let us know he needs attention! Intercom call from camera! Very slick!

On the other hand, if he's just moving around and such, I can look at the display on the phone and see him go back to sleep.

I purchased a Panasonic cordless phone system [Panasonic 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Expandable Digital Cordless Handset with 1.6" Full-Color (65k Color) Backlit LCD]. It came with a base w/answering machine and 3 handsets. When I purchased it, I made the argument to my wife that when we had a child, I could buy and add the camera to the system. That was the argument that let me get the phone I wanted but it really worked out well!

Excellent as baby monitor May 04, 2008 By Helard G. Ballon Hennings
I've had this product for over a year now, and it has worked excellent for us. It has a adequately sensitive noise detector, it never misses a baby cry and rarely over activates. It's handy to be able to use our phone set to monitor baby at the same time!

Excellent Aug 20, 2010 By Giovanni
Great product for monitoring child in a two story home. Only problem, the base is a little noise at time when connected. That's the chance you take on wireless.
