My experience with video baby monitors is limited to one purchased about six years ago which, up until I received this product, I believed was the greatest thing since sliced bread. The Lorex "Snap" monitor is, as of the writing of this review, the greatest thing since sliced bread as far as video baby monitors are concerned. With the knowledge that all I can reasonably compare it to is an outdated model, I would like to explain why I am so impressed. After opening the box, my first impression left me feeling that the screen on the monitor is too small. Having now utilized the product, I can confidently say that the screen is the perfect size. That is, the field of vision covers more than enough area and the smaller screen allows for true portability, which leads me to the next positive. This product is truly portable. While the camera/cameras can be mounted to a wall (and easily removed), the design allows for set up on any flat surface. The monitor itself is about the size of a large cell phone and, with its convenient charging port and seemingly long battery life, can be brought just about anywhere due to its wireless operation. The camera also provides a great picture even when the lights are turned off and it automatically transitions into night vision. All of these points certainly make this product great but, in comparison with the old model, there are three features that really impress me. The first being the fact the audio monitor is two way. With the touch of a button on the handheld monitor, crystal clear audio can be heard through the camera just as well as it is being received. Another big advantage, to me, of the Lorex monitor is that it allows room for growth, enabling up to four cameras to be monitored on the same handheld device. While I have only utilized one camera with this unit, I like the fact that I have options if I need them. The final deal sweetener is a still photo function that saves spur of the moment images onto a removable memory card in the monitor. All in all, the Lorex "Snap" is a great product that I would recommend to anyone in the market for a video baby monitor. |

I found this monitor to be well made and easy to use. The instructions are very clear and complete and the units were easy to charge up. While the video image is not great, it is adequate for monitoring, as is the sound. It also works well in low light since it has its own infra-red light source and the camera is sensitive to infra-red. It is useful for monitoring anything, not just infants. It can be used to monitor anyone in need. I intend to use it to keep an eye on my house the evenings of October 30 and 31. No tricks for me! |

I purchased this monitor expecting to be disappointed, as with all baby monitors I have used in the past. After lots of research and internal debate, I pulled the plug and purchased the Lorex Live Snap. First of all the setup was a breeze. I didn’t even have to read the instructions, it was so intuitive. I had three major concerns for any monitor I purchased: Security, compatibility with wireless network, and quality of night vision. The security issue is taken care of with the digital signal. No interference from neighbours or problems seeing other people's babies! I set up the camera in the baby's room, took the handset to the living room and set it down next to two wireless laptops and a cell phone. The image was perfectly clear and the sound came through great. We have been using this device for 3 months now and have not yet had any issues with interference. We even took it with us on a trip and used it in two other homes with wireless networks and had no problems whatsoever. Next test was night vision. I am amazed at how well this works. The image is clear (though black and white) but detailed enough for this paranoid first time mom to assure baby is breathing at any time in the night, with blinds closed, no nightlights, complete darkness. Using the handset is pretty easy. It took us a little bit to adjust the volume and the sensitivity for Power Save mode just right but after one night of using it, we got the adjustments right and have had no issues. We hear the baby when he stirs and I press the camera button to check what's going on. For us, the display is MUCH too bright to leave on all night, even on the lowest backlight setting. Power Save feature is a must and we always use it. The option of only transmitting sound when baby makes sound is great (VOX). Anyone who has listened to the constant white noise feedback of other monitors will appreciate this feature. Others have mentioned it doesn't work properly for them. Maybe the camera is too far away? Ours works perfectly. If you don't like this feature, turn it off and the camera will transmit sound continuously. Finally, the ability to use up to four cameras on the same handset is fantastic. There are a few issues that I don't find to be a problem but are worth mentioning. The lighting on the camera that makes the night time picture so great, is also distracting to baby if he doesn't want to sleep. I sometimes find him staring at the camera watching the lights. It's a trade-off that I am more than happy with for the ability to see him whenever I need to. Next issue; is the base is too light for the camera. As a renter, I am hesitant to put holes of any kind in our walls, never mind install a video camera, so I have the camera standing on a shelf above the baby's crib. The camera is too heavy for the base and unless I put a something on top of the base, such as a bottle of water, it topples over. I don't mind the water bottle solution but others might find this annoying. I never use the snapshot feature but I think the images shown in the marketing material are a little deceiving. At best it is camera-phone quality pictures. Again, we never use this feature so it isn’t an issue for us. For me, and compared to the junk that is out there for baby monitors these issues maybe warrant a loss of half a star since there is no perfect monitor out there. We like this camera so much we will be purchasing more cameras for use with the headset. All of my parent-friends that have seen this have been amazed and want one. Definitely recommend. |

We have owned this baby monitor for about 6 months now. It works amazing we tried a few cheaper video monitors were not happy at all due to static and interference. This is going to be your best option without breaking the bank on the VERY expensive ones. So far the video quality is perfect and has had NO static or interference. In low light the video goes to black & white instead of that weird green night mode like most of the others do so your baby doesn't look like a green alien with blacked out eyes! The sound is very good also, no interference or static. There is a button to take quick snap shots and it stores on a micro SD card (included). The pictures aren't high enough quality to frame but it’s fun to look back at the past ones and watch your baby grow before your eyes. There is also a VOX mode where if your baby is not making any noise the monitor turns off to save the battery and turns on instantly as soon as your baby makes a peep (plus you can set the sound sensitivity in case there is a mobile or TV making sound). Or if you want to check on your baby because they're being too quiet just hit the snap shot button and the monitor turns on plus you get a snap shot stored on the monitor of him/her to look back at. It will take 100's of snap shots since the resolution is so low. PROS: Great picture and sound, no static or interference, no "green mode" in low light, can use up to 4 cameras with it, snap shot mode with included micro SD card and adapter, 2 way radio so you can talk to your child when you're not in the room, monitor and camera well-built and compact, rechargeable battery w/ dock for monitor, rechargeable battery on camera too, camera is wall mountable. There is multiple settings for the volume and picture. Monitor and camera use mini USB connection to power and charge (smart). CONS: If you forget to turn on the camera before you turn on the monitor the monitor will beep at you saying "NO CAMERA FOUND" and wake up your sleeping baby (sucks). There is no output to hook up the monitor to a TV. And it would be nice if here was a belt clip and little kick stand built into the back of the monitor. CONCLUSION: There are always going to be a few cons on anything if you look hard enough but none of these change my vote that this is a 5 star monitor. And none of the Cons have to do with the quality of the monitor, just requests for the next model. |

We've had a traditional audio-only monitor for a while now, but our 6 month old is starting to move around in her crib. We've found her stuck in a corner a few times and thought a video camera might be a nice upgrade. We got this at a great price on Amazon's Deal of the day. I have to say, I'm blown away. It is perfectly dark in the baby's room right now, but we have a very clear view of her in the crib. I mounted the camera on the wall next to her crib. The camera flexes in every direction, so I was able to find a clear view of the entire crib. I'm really impressed. |

We have now owned this for a couple weeks and LOVE it! Our kids are 2 and 5 and when they are asleep it is nice to be able to always see them. Also the distance is amazing. I am able to go across the street to get my mail or go out in my backyard with my puppy while being able to always check on my kids. The talking feature is wonderful too. It was well worth the 100 bucks. If you are not sure on getting it, I hope this helps. |

I use it for an older child. Love it so far just hope it holds up under a lot of use. Works well picture is great and sound works well, there is sometimes a very low background noise but there is no major interference. Highly recommend! I researched for a long time and all the ones I found online had terrible reviews and were higher priced. At $189 I am very pleased with my purchase! I even bought and extra camera. I love the fact I can talk through it because when she is acting up I can talk to her through it. |

I bought this item for my newborn baby girl. I love the clear picture display and easy adjusting camera. The camera is also compact but works really well. I love the price and will refer to friends and family. |

What a world we live in, Okay, so most of the time products like this hit the market with spotty performance. Not the case here. This is one of the neatest little systems I've ever seen. My kids are too old for a monitor now, but we use it with Skype to keep an eye on things at home when we're not there. The handheld device has a nifty user interface and a pleasing bright colorful screen. Image quality is crisp and signal drop out hasn't occurred to this point. Is it a must for new parents. No. But for those who can afford it, this is a very nice product. |

Great live monitoring I received the Lorex Wireless Monitoring system & was excited to give it a try. This comes with everything you will need to get started. a handheld wireless monitor, 1 camera, 1 Gateway & antenna, a 1 GB microSD card with adapter, 3 power adapters (1 for the Gateway, the other 2 are for the camera & handheld monitor which can be used to charge or keep plugged in), and 1 network cable. Setup was intimidating but turned out to be a breeze. If you don't already have Skype, you will have to set one up but instructions are included. The Gateway connected with no problems and once connected to Skype you can immediately begin to view the camera. Picture quality is good, not as clear as some webcams I have but good enough that you get a very clear picture of what is going on & the people you are looking at. I was most impressed with the night vision. Even in a completely dark room, everything was still lit & easily viewed. You don't have to use Skype for viewing. The handheld device makes for easy viewing when you are home. This is ideal for when you have babies or young children. Just place the camera in their room & carry the hand held monitor with you from room to room. It's about the size of a slim cell phone so it will easily slip into your pocket. Sound is included so you will be able to hear if a little one is crying. Have more than one room you need to watch? This can be expanded to up to 4 cameras. The monitor quickly allows you to flip back & forth. If you are at work or out with friends and have left kids at home with a babysitter, you can use any computer to view your home using Skype or even your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to support Android. Hopefully that will be added in the future. Great idea for keeping an eye on teens home alone as well. This would be useful if you have pets you want to keep an eye on, suspect someone of vandalizing your property (just place the camera in a window) and countless other ideas. You can record & take still photos to capture anything you see happening. The only thing that keeps this from being a perfect little security camera is motion sensor recording. Being able to set this up to record if someone enters a room would be a wonderful addition. Unfortunately, you can only see what is happening when you log in. However, as a monitoring system, you can't beat this |
