Usage review
After using for a while this baby monitor, apart of the pros from marketing, here are cons:

  • The image on portable display is poor quality, not even close to 720p. It has large pixels and can only be looking in front and not from and angle. However, the image is much better quality only on phone/tablet/PC devices.
  • The portable display looses the signal from base when I’m moving to other rooms which are not too far from the base, depending on your wall structure
  • Wifi connection is a huge disappoint, instead of using the local network and immediate return the video, is using some relay server which creates about 60 seconds delay (tested on high speed network). The hole point here in Baby monitor is to react IMMEDIATELY locally, so having 60 seconds delay is making the usage of camera useless. The basic of Wifi feature is to use LOCAL intranet and return fast the status of the baby. This extra feature using relay servers should be optional for peoples which are NOT at home. The good part is that is free service, although others are charging for it. It uses hubbleconnected.com services
  • The volume of the portable display is wrongly connected with the volume from base unit. I don’t need the loud click on buttons, but i want maximum volume from the baby room. This should be a separate option. This is a bad design reported also on Motorola MBP854 Connect video review
