My monitor screen and camera decided to not connect to each other. I reached out to the customer service. They were very responsive. After few methods to fix the connection, they replaced both items for me even though both of items were out of warranty for 11 months. Very happy with their customer service. My friends recommended the non-wifi camera to monitor our baby’s sleep. Never disappointed. demi.l · influenster.com

Loved the image quality at night and day, the zoom quality. That you are able to place the camera anywhere in the bedroom and will have a good image. Liked that the alerts you get are accurate and won’t default to less overtime. Also you can save videos and pictures using the app. It gives you 1 year guarantee and you can buy extra years. Also costumer service is great. The design is slick and ble Vanda · walmart.com
