We bought this baby monitor because it contained all the features we wanted, looked modern and had the Skype facility.
The resolution and image quality is very good, and it can be used in total darkness which is brilliant. The parent unit is very well built and of high quality, with a nice menu system. It's solid, professional looking, and looks like it'll last a good while.
The range is ok with the antenna raised, and the in-built batteries of the parent unit lasts a fair amount of time, even though it can take up to 10 hours to fully recharge each time (not really a problem). Having rechargeable batteries in the parent-unit is a MUST HAVE!
The ability to connect the parent-unit to your laptop and use it as a webcam is a fantastic feature and what made us buy this monitor. It's brilliant for remote viewing over the web by grandparents or even parents at work. We set up a new account for our baby on Skype with auto-answer enabled, so whenever we plug it in and turn on Skype our family can connect and see her without us being at the computer.
The sound quality is good when you speak through the parent-unit out to the camera. Good for communication and for soothing baby.
You can connect it to our TV too, and watch baby on the big screen if you want, or even picture-in-picture if you know how to enable it.
It has a handy stand which pops out the back to make it easy to view.
Problems we found:
- We can't get the sound alarm feature to work properly, and it's adjusted on the camera, not the parent unit. We fiddled with it endlessly but it either doesn't pick up anything, or it false triggers all the time. Having it adjust on the camera end is annoying.
- The temperature sensor doesn't really work very well. There's a temperature probe at the back of the camera that seems to get warmed up the longer the unit is switched on. When we turn it on it shows 18C, but after a couple of hours it typically shows up to 30C, which is crazy. We cannot trust it.
- It doesn't have an audio-only mode, so the video has to be shown when you want to monitor the baby, which uses more batteries.
- The auto-on feature doesn't work very well because it relies on the alarm feature, which is either too sensitive or doesn't pick anything up at all.
- We use the unit on zoomed in mode most of the time, and you cannot adjust the volume in this mode, so you have to exit the mode, adjust the volume, and then re-enable zoom, which is ok but a little fiddly and unnecessary.
- The lullabies sound cheap, tinny and annoying, so we don't use them.
- The menu system looks and operates beautifully, but the on-screen symbols and text over the main video look cheap and old-fashioned and detract from the otherwise polished appearance of the product.
If we were buying again we'd still buy this baby monitor, but it'd be nice if the Samsung worked properly in all areas - because then it'd be perfect.

I bought one of these to keep an eye on my 18month old Daughter. I can honestly say it's the most useful bit of tech I have ever bought.
It's great as now when she makes a noise in the night we can actually see if there is a problem. Even in the Dark :) the night vision is brill.
For me though the Skype connection is just amazing.
I spend a lot of time away from home so worry that I miss her growing up. Now my wife leaves the monitor connected to her Laptop at home and I can dial in from anywhere on my Skype video account and see my wee angel.
Thank you Samsung Top Top Product

This was brilliant. I used it to monitor my Mother who was very ill and it enabled me to see if shewas ok without continually going into her room and disturbing her. I also usedit when a friend came to sit inthe house when I went out for a couple of hours - she was able to do her own work in the dining room whilst listening out for Mum. It was absolutely invaluable even though Ionly used it for a short time. I have sincegiven it to my nephew who has a young baby so it's still being used. Itwould be great to set up anywhere - I particularly liked the way you could put the night light on remotely, the sound and picture quality was very good -but the nursery music is appallingly tinny.
