"5.0 out of 5 stars" - Re-writing my review after 6 months of usage. Still recommended, though I'd give 4.5 stars if I could. Baby monitors continue to be a frustrating product space, with mixed reviews on nearly every brand and unit. $30 wifi cameras will give better picture quality than a $200 baby monitor. I scoured the internet for reviews, and found very few unbiased and in-depth ones, yet many sponsored / influencer reviews. (For what it's worth Momcozy also seems to use influencer marketing).Things we like:1. High resolution display - the image is crisp and clear. Many other cameras are 720p only. This one has a 1080p camera AND display. It means the digital zoom doesn't work quite as well (it gets a bit pixelated) but that tradeoff is fine for us.2. Audio quality - Audio is clear, and the VOX feature (transmitting your voice through the camera) works very well.3. USB-C charging - love this. No more hunting for that proprietary charger. We can use the same cable as our phone and laptops. Battery life has been sufficient too.4. Night vision (mostly) - the night vision LEDs illuminate the area well (invisible to the naked eye, only seen by the camera), but are slightly misaligned on our unit. So the "bright spot" is not in the center of the camera view.5. Menu / software - Interface is responsive and decently modern, especially compared to some other brands.6. Tilt / pan feature - The camera movements are responsive and accurate with a wide range of motion.Things we dislike:1. The range is average and the signal randomly cuts out. Our bedroom usually has 3 bars of strength, but will randomly disconnect during the night, leading to the screen illuminating and a loud beeping alarm notification. It restores after a few seconds on its own, but we have no idea why this happens and there's no fold-out antenna to improve the range. Very frustrating.2. Plastic-y build and flimsy kickstand. Display units from many other brands are designed to stand upright. This one is not, and instead has a flimsy kickstand that folds out. It's not very stable and I suspect it will break off one of these days.3. Screen sleep behavior. The unit will 'sleep' according to a timer, which turns off the screen and audio (both are then automatically re-enabled when it hears a loud sound). But there doesn't seem to sleep the unit manually. You turn off the screen by tapping the power button, but this doesn't turn off the audio (and will remain on forever). So the only option is to wait for the timer to shut both off. This can feel like an eternity in the middle of the night.Overall, would I buy it again? Probably. Though I'd probably take a look at the competition again first.

"Takes forever to charge" - Wanted to like this monitor after all the positive reviews but it’s basically impossible for the monitor to be hands free as it takes over 24 hours to get even one charging bar and dies so quickly. Unless you are able to sit in the same spot with it plugged in while your baby sleeps, this monitor is not for you.
