PanasonicBaby Monitor with Camera and Audio, 3.5” Color Video, Extra Long Range, Secure Connection, 2-Way Talk, Soothing Sounds, Remote Pan, Tilt, Zoom - 1 Camera - KX-HN4101W (White)

Update: We must have received a dud, or maybe one that someone broke and returned and it was packaged up and sent out. I bought a new one just to see if it was a fluke, turns out it was. This monitor is phenomenal. The range is excellent, everything about it is excellent. I don't have a bad thing to say about it. The range for us turned out to be about 180 yards with multiple walls of interference. It's been close to a year with the replacement and it works as if it was brand new. Will buy for future monitor needs as well.This camera worked wonderfully for 3 whole days. I was so impressed with the video quality that I kept taking pictures of the screen. I included a daytime and nighttime picture of the screen. After day 3, either the camera or the screen completely crapped out. I either get lines through the screen such as in my included picture, a black screen, or a screen that has messed up contrast to the point you can’t see your child. I have rebooted everything multiple times, and it will work again for a day or 2, and then I have to do it all over. My breaking point was when I was watching the monitor and it had perfect clarity, and for no reason switched over to all the lines. There was no change in light or movement in the room, baby was completely asleep. Absolute garbage for the price. Very disappointed as we needed a long range monitor and this one had the best reviews for that. Will be returning.

My favorite things about this camera that I use for my grandbabies:1. Panasonic’s baby monitor is long-range with a long-life battery2. It provides the user with zero interruptions/alerts on your phone, because it has its own monitor, as opposed to a monitor that links to a mobile device.3. Operates on its own frequency, so no one can tap into the Baby Monitor via WiFi.4. The monitor provides great video quality and top-of-the-line features, such as Smart Sensors for motion and temperature.5. The fact that it’s portable to bring to my house from my daughters or sons house.6. It gives me confidence that my grandbabies are safe while I’m baking sourdough bread or working in my home officeThe Panasonic Baby Monitor helps to create the ideal balance because it is a dedicated, secure, long-range system that tells you what you need to know when you need to know it. I highly recommend this monitor for parents and grandparents alike

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.

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.
