Panasonic Baby Monitor with Camera and Audio, 3.5” Color Video Baby Monitor, Extra Long Range, Secure Connection, 2-Way Talk, Soothing Sounds, Remote Pan, Tilt, Zoom,1 Camera, KX-HN4001W (White/Black)

I purchased this monitor for our huge house (5,600 sq ft) 5 years ago and it's working like a charm. I've started having issues with battery so I purchased a new one but most likely just battery replacement would work. 5 years ago I went through probably six different monitors since I need it to connect bedrooms on to opposite sides of the house and this one was the only one that worked perfect when it comes to picture and sound as well as talkability.

Picture says it all! No constant signal drops like infant optics. I wanted to write this review, because you need to know if you are comparing to the infant optics. This has all the same features, and doesn’t drop signal all the time. So I would recommend this any day. For 7 years I’ve used infant optics. The signal constantly was interrupted, even in the next room. I resolved to dealing with it. It finally died, and I was so excited! I got this Panasonic, and I’m so happy with the signal. I’m only a hallway and room away. But my old 2.4Ghz was constantly interrupted with other normal WiFi signals and such. This 1.92Ghz range is way better for people who have WiFi, TVs and other such devices in their houses. I’m so happy that I’m not constantly getting “No signal” blank screens like the infant optics.A few things. The cord on the camera is soooooo long. Understandable, but I just don’t need it. The cord on the monitor is not as long. I don’t have a plug close by, and it doesn’t have USB. Also, the camera is a touch louder when you remotely move it.It was already paired. So after putting in the battery, I turned it on and it worked.All these companies market the 2.4Ghz as being the best on the market. I disagree, there are already so many devices on this frequency. This slightly lower frequency works much better in my opinion. Good luck.

I have used this for 9 months now, I was worried after reading some negative reviews before I bought it of saying how the battery is bad, how the whole thing died after only a few months of use, etc. However, I am pleasently surprised, when I put my little one to sleep in the evening I sometimes stay up for a really long time and the battery holds out for around 4-5 hours. Night vision and picture in general is good, nothing over the top, but not needed for the schere purpose of knowing if the baby is still asleep or has woken up. Sound is good. You can pretty much adjust every and anything. It has music that can play remotely, change camera angles remotley (if your little one wanders around the crib like ours), you can adjust alerts as well. The only thing that might be off is the thermometer l, sometimes it shows a higher temp by 5, 6 degrees, which can be confusing at first, just keep an eye on that still. Maybe it's just ours that has a slight malfunction, but the settings for temp alerts can be changed as well. All in all would totally recommend, it's a reasonable price compared to others and has worked well so far.

First, the main reason I bought this was for the long range claim. I even returned two previous cameras I bought bc they weren't long range. We do have a longer house but this monitor doesn't cover anymore ground then the first 2 I bought so don't buy it if you think it'll be any better distance wise. I even called Panasonic to get some guidance and they just said to put the antenna up which seems like a joke.Second, I NEVER write reviews, but I'm writing this review one year and a half after I bought it bc I have had issues from the start and wanted to help others not make the same mistake. It started out fine, but a few months in the screen started to say "charging error" and it would reboot itself and annoyingly light up the screen in the middle of the night several times. As a new, full time working mom I never had time to go through the motions to get it fixed and it was more of an annoyance thing so I always tried to remember to flip it face down. The real issue started when I noticed the camera would sometimes shut off or say it couldn't connect to the camera even when I was one room away. When I was pregnant with my second child, I figured it would be cheaper to keep the camera and just buy a second camera; as opposed to buying a new screen and two cameras. So now I've invested way too much money and it's worthless bc the screen is totally blank as you can see from the picture. Don't waste your money. The picture isn't even that clear. Better cameras are out there.
