VTech Advanced HQ Max Twin 7" Digital Video 2-Cameras Baby Monitor with Pan Tilt Zoom, Long Battery Life 5000mAh, IPS Screen, Adaptive Multi-Color Night Light, 2-Way Talk, HQ Display, No WiFi, White

"5.0 out of 5 stars" - Overall very impressed with the purchased. I was able to get it on a sale for like 20% off and was worried about the quality. My goal was for a product that was wifi only with ability to move around and good sound/mic quality and it hits all the boxes. Bonus of a large screen. I was concerned about of the F grade on the reviews, but came out moderately impressed given there are more expensive models that I could've gone for.Battery life - seems to be solid although its hard to tell. Our baby is on the way so have not put this to the test yet. My main gripe is that they choose to use a proprietary connector when they could've easily used as USB-C or any common connector so you can just plug it now. Now you have to have it plugged in with their charge.Size - 7" screen. fantastic. My MIL always squints so shes going to appreciate this when shes helping outScreen/Quality/Brightness: quality of images isn't like going to be ultraHD unfortunately. I'd say they are close to 720p at the most, but enough to see all the details of what's going on.Camera: Very responsive with minimal lag. Quiet in movements although can hear it. Sound and mic quality great. Pivoting up and down with nearly 360 turning is fantastic.Overall, for this price point, would give it 5 stars. There's obviously better improvements to be had, but you would be hard pressed to find them with 2 cameras and this large of a screen. Even if you take the price out of it, I'd still be giving this about 4 stars as there are options with better camera quality and probably mic sensitivity.

"1.0 out of 5 stars" - This is my second video monitoring system, the first being a Summer Infant Day and Night that we purchased in 2010 when our first child was born. The Summer Infant model was (and still is) excellent. The picture and sound quality are both great, and reliable. But, as luck has it, that model is not expandable, and we're expecting our second child, so we decided to switch to a model that supported multiple cameras. In terms of rave reviews and features, I should have gone with one of the Motorola models, but I was amazed by the bundle of features for the price with VTech, and took the bait. We bought this system and one extra camera, and went to work setting them up at home in the nursery, and in the toddler's room.First, the picture quality is NOT GOOD. Compared to the Summer Infant, it's a joke, especially the night vision. Luckily my son has dark hair or I'd never be able to GUESS where he was in the picture. If you need crisp images, do not get this model. We're making do so far, as we can mostly tell where the toddler is in the picture, but it's terrible.Second, the sound quality and reliability is NOT GOOD. The Summer Infant has crisp, continuous sound. The VTech sound is tinny at best, and interference interrupts it every couple of seconds, in no particular pattern. Moreover, the sound seems to turn itself OFF all the time. I've been able to jog it back on by using the "Talk" feature to say something over the intercom to my son, and then the sound kicks back on awaiting his response. Again, we're using it for him, but it's terrible.We have not used this yet for a newborn, and it's quite likely that we won't. We still have our old Summer Infant, and unless the sound is continuous and the close-up picture is much better (the newborn camera will only be pointed at a crib, whereas the toddler camera is mounted up high for a (poor quality) view of the whole room) we'll probably use the Summer Infant for the newborn, as I'm not messing around with an unreliable system for a new baby. If we end up going that route, I'll mount the extra VTech camera in toddler's room for added viewer angles, as we can't see the whole room with one camera, and I'll just tote around both parent units, one for each child.If I had known I was going to have to do that, I'd just have purchased another Summer Infant Day and Night.Morale of the story: if I had this to do over, I wouldn't have made this choice. The product is trash compared to Motorola or Summer Infant. However, it does do the job (just badly), and it has a bundle of nice features (temperature monitoring, lullabies (that my son hates), zoom (but NOT pan! and the zoom just pixellates the already terrible picture quality), and multiple camera support. VTech seemed to try really hard to throw a lot into this for a low price, but forgot the two most important features: sound quality/reliability and picture quality.Sadly, one and a half thumbs down.EDIT: June, 2013 - Well, my dissatisfaction turned quickly into disgust. Other reviewers have lamented the nonexistent customer service at Vtech: HEED THEM. Our second wasn't born until April, and has been in our room, so we haven't really needed to USE this system until very recently. We had set it up and ensured the camera angles were appropriate prior to her birth, but hadn't used the system. Even so, somehow, this camera inexplicably broke. The transformer (the box-part of the plug) has evidently blown: instead of having subpar video and audio, it now has ZERO video and audio. The parent unit doesn't read the camera at all, instead eternally waiting for connection. And the camera unit makes a loud popping noise from the camera itself every three seconds if it is powered on. It cannot be powered off anymore without unplugging it -- the power button now only works one way: to turn on. So, to recap: with LESS THAN A DAY OF USE, the camera unit does not transmit video, does not transmit audio, does not turn off, and makes loud noises. In other words, this is worse than zero stars. This is negative stars. They should be paying US for housing these annoying products.BUT IT GETS BETTER (read: worse). I contacted VTech, stumbled through their ridiculous online contact template (that doesn't seem to even anticipate receiving product failure communications) and filed my concern, asking for a refund, a replacement, an extra part (the camera itself doesn't need replacing, only the power cord...with a new power cord it would be back to functioning as a less than mediocre piece of 1990s video equipment, but it would at least WORK). VTech's website assured me I would be contacted within two days.That was almost four weeks ago. That's right. Four weeks of radio silence. I'm about to contact them for the THIRD time, but this company goes beyond all other bad reviews I've ever read, ever. It's not that they refuse to accept responsibility, don't warrant the product, charge the customer shipping. They might do all those things. But who knows? The company seems to collectively hide under the table whenever the phone rings, and, without being able to reach them, the consumer is completely up a creek.I've written many reviews. I've NEVER had to write one like this.Buyer beware.
