Overview
Motorola Nursery built this monitor to run two ways, on the included parent screen without WiFi or through the app from anywhere. The wall mountable camera pans, tilts and zooms, sees in the dark and lets you talk or play lullabies.
Motorola Nursery gives parents a dedicated screen that still works if the WiFi drops, plus phone access when away from home. The video resolution is basic, so fine detail at night is limited.
Who it's for
Households with unreliable WiFi or parents who travel for work get both local and remote monitoring here. People who want sharp, zoomed in detail should look for a higher resolution camera.
Pros and cons
- Works without WiFi locally
- Remote app viewing
- Remote pan, tilt and zoom
- Infrared night vision
- Standard HD video only
- Camera needs a power outlet
- Parent unit battery life not listed
Performance notes
Local mode sends video straight to the parent unit, so it still works when the internet drops. App viewing depends on home WiFi strength, and pan and zoom let one camera cover a whole room.
