Motorola VM36XL Touch Connect 5" HD Wi-Fi Video Baby Monitor with Touch Screen, Remote Pan, Tilt & Zoom Camera, Lullabies, Room Temperature Sensor and Two-Way Audio, White

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product free in exchange for my review. This is a great camera! I have used the Nanit Pro for my daughter's whole life, so that's what I have to compare it to. The good: I had no issues at all with the WiFi connectivity. The camera has a clear picture both in daylight and in the dark. My phone can reliably connect, as can the handheld monitor. The Nanit does not come with a standalone monitor, and I love that this one does - great for when I have a babysitter or if I need to use my phone, or if we are using it when we don't have WiFi -- like when traveling and I don't want to set it up, or where the camera location can't get a strong enough signal. The pan and zoom are really cool, and the option to mount it on the ceiling is something I haven't seen elsewhere. This seems like a good camera to use into toddlerhood. The monitor seems to hold a charge for a while. The temperature sensor seems to be accurate. The app does not require a subscription to use any of the features, which is a huge benefit. The less good: I can't find any mention of the encryption, and security is extremely important to me. The Motorola Nursery app is a little unreliable -- sometimes it doesn't open, sometimes the pan/zoom feature does not work. It's not the clearest app to use in terms of getting it to do what you want. When it does work, it's great, and has a lot of good features -- but that's an if. It works more often than not, I'd say, but that's still iffy. It does not have a humidity sensor. Some of the features, like the sounds and flashlight, are not accessible from the app (only from the monitor). It does not automatically track any data with regard to sleep. Overall, this is a good monitor for the price. Getting a handheld monitor and wifi access is pretty great, and the zoom and pan are features I haven't ever had on a baby monitor. Really cool. I do have some concerns about security even though those issues are uncommon/unlikely.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Motorola VM36XL Touch Connect is a feature-packed baby monitor that offers a clear view of my little one, day or night. The 5-inch touchscreen display, remote pan-tilt-zoom camera, and two-way talk capabilities do provide peace of mind for my husband and me. My little one loves the pre-recorded songs and book readings the device offers. However, some connectivity issues and a less-than-intuitive user interface hold it back from being a truly exceptional product. At times the 5-inch touch screen will disconnect and a very loud sound will omit from the system to advise the disconnect. The loud sound would occur at 10:00 p.m. and occurred a handful of times within a week. Pros: Clear 720p video quality with infrared night vision Remote pan, tilt, and zoom camera for a complete view of the nursery Two-way talk to soothe your baby from afar Room temperature monitoring to ensure your baby's comfort Preloaded nature sounds, lullabies, and audiobooks to help your baby sleep Works with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control Cons: Occasional connectivity issues, especially when using the app The touchscreen can be a bit sensitive and may lead to accidental camera movements The user interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great baby monitor love that I can see it on my phone or the monitor! The only thing I wish was better was the battery life on the monitor but since I can see it on my phone it doesn't bother me much I just leave it plugged in wherever we need it! Has amazing functions. Really is a great monitor!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Motorola's baby monitors are seldom found atop the lists of "Best Baby Monitors", but they're often found on those lists and user reviews are usually fairly favorable. I don't know if Motorola makes these or just brands them, but Motorola baby monitors been around for some time now, garnering the normal assortment of cranky reviews along with positive assessments. I can't speak to long term use of this monitor. So I'm reviewing initial impressions. If I find things to be different over time, I'll come back and update. Motorola makes two basic forms of video monitors. One type connects solely to a handheld unit via 2.4Ghz radio. It's not wifi enabled. It's a basic unit with fairly long range usable only when both you and your baby are at home. The other type connects both to a handheld screen AND, via wifi to your phone. This type can monitor your baby both when you're at home and, via the app and internet, when you're away from home. This is Motorola's most expensive wifi model. It connects both to a handheld receiver screen and to your phone via the internet. Wirecutter, the review site, said it disliked Motorola's wifi baby monitor the least of all the wifi+handheld LCD monitor units it tested, but it didn't give any wifi unit a glowing review. However, when Wirecutter reviewed baby monitors Motorola was still using its Hubble app for phone connectivity--an app I've not used--and reviewers say that the new app used by this system is far superior to the old Hubble app. OK, a few noteworthy features with differentiation between this and less expensive models in parentheses: 1) Zoom is digital, up to 2X (other models range up to 4X digital zoom, a negligible difference, honestly). 2) Pan and tilt are motorized (vs digital pan and tilt and manual pan and tilt on other models). 3) 1080 resolution (vs 720p resolution on other Motorola systems). 4) 5-inch lcd screen in monitor is clear with good color and visibility (vs. 4.3-inch and non-touch screen in other Motor
