This wi-fi enabled camera isn't technically a baby monitor, but we still think it's a universal must-have for parents. While on-the-go, you can peek in on your little one at home from your mobile device or desktop. Its 107 degree view means you can see the whole room at once (or zoom in!), and it connects to your wi-fi in about two minutes.
The Catch: A few parents thought there might be a slight delay in the video

Used this with 3 babies and still use as a camera for our playroom! The quality is amazing for the price point. I love that I can check in on them when I'm not at home- that was important to me. Jan 20, 2024

We use our old dropcam to monitor my baby's room. It works well, does what we need it to do. So no complaints :) It is over wifi, so if that concerns you, maybe look for something else. Oct 16, 2023
This is a good camera, don’t really have any complaints on it but I prefer my owlet monitor. We actually use these too see our pets when we are away now. I do like the option to record though Sep 27, 2023

Love this great to have to check on him when he is sleeping. His new thing is trying to climb out his crib. So this keep him safe. Aug 13, 2022

Picks up all sounds and sends alerts of any close by movements Apr 06, 2021
We have a drop an in both kids rooms and they are the great! The downside to these is that you need strong constant WiFi to keep them working and the Nest app isn’t super reliable. Feb 06, 2021

It gives you the comfort of not being in the room the entire time the little one is asleep Feb 05, 2021

We have a dropcam in our home along with Wyze cameras. Personally I like the Wyze cameras for the ability to look back at footage without having to pay for the service like you do with the dropcam. Mar 11, 2020

This easily connects to your wifi for quick access for viewing from your phone or computer. I like how I can set up multiple cameras indoors and outdoors to view my entire household. Clear picture Sep 13, 2019

I am paranoid and must watch my baby and this works great! Very clear and easy to use Sep 07, 2019

Works well when internet signal is good. Somestimes takes a while to connect and there is definitely a few second delay from real time to what you see on the screen, which is not good with kids! Sep 03, 2019

Got this for my baby shower and it's by far my favorite gift. It's easy to use and you can watch the kids from anywhere and it has great resolution! Recommend this monitor Aug 08, 2019

This is much better then a dedicated baby monitor. Very reliable and easy to use. I purchased an audio monitor and only use this for check-ins. Jul 30, 2019

Been using this camera for over five years. Have one in all three kids rooms along with the thermostat and doorbell. Can use on many different devices and alerts you to sound and motion. Jul 22, 2019

This is amazing!! I dont know how i survived wothout it for so long. It helps me feel better knowing I can see their every move. Jul 18, 2019

Yes! What a clear picture, easy app to connect to the phone, and when my in laws watch my baby it is easy to grant them access to the camera for the night. Jun 30, 2019

Good image quality and features. We bought this camera for my husband to see our daughter while deployed, continued to use as a baby monitor, puppy monitor, and can be used for home monitoring too! Mar 21, 2019

I have seen family use this for their kids and it is amazing. I will highly recommend this for all the parents out there Jan 24, 2019
the quality of the picture is not great and the image comes in late. not accurate Nov 24, 2018

If you're ok paying $100/year or $10/month, you'll find this camera is quite good. Motion detection is advanced, night vision is superb, and the quality is just great. This is quite the bandwidth hog Nov 12, 2018

Dropcam monitor is easy to use and install. However if you want to use it all night to listen for a crying baby it isn’t the best. It’s pricey and I would not buy it again if I had a do over. Nov 03, 2018
- So C.

I love my nest cams/drop cams, great image resolution and most importantly you can check from anywhere bc it’s attached to your phone. Best thing is it’s portable and so easy to set up! Oct 15, 2018

There may be better solutions now, but we still use this camera today after many years of use. Best part is that you can see all of the live views together in the app without having to switch cameras Aug 28, 2018

We have 5 of th we around the house to look in on thebkids sure no the day when they are with the nanny. We originated purchased as pet cams (we had a baaad puppy!)but love how they have grown with us Aug 05, 2018

Microphone is SUPER sensitive, which is good and bad. Great for working parents to check in at home. I hate that you have to keep a computer or phone running to keep tabs on baby. Annoying at night. Oct 05, 2016

Absolutely love this! Great resolution! I love that I can watch my son from wherever I am! Great zoom too. May 09, 2015
I used to be anti video monitor, but I can now see how helpful it is to watch your baby and fairly assess if you need to go in. The resolution on this one is excellent! Jul 10, 2014

We would be lost without our Dropcam, with baby's room on the 2nd floor and ours on the 1st floor. We can check on baby from anywhere in the world from our iPhones! Will be buying another for Baby #2! Jul 06, 2014
I love being able to check on Logan when I'm stuck at work. The software and camera are easy to use and install. We didn't do the DVR option, but if I was worried about people in my home I would! Mar 05, 2014

One word: incredible. Amazing resolution, sets up in seconds, and you can check in on your baby from a web browser or iPhone. Feb 27, 2014

Well, now my night vision is working, so I'm back to loving it. Sometimes it cuts out because of Wifi - you have to have good Wifi, and there is a delay. But overall happy Feb 09, 2014

This was one of the best gifts I've received! Allows me to watch my girls from wherever I am which is the best, and it's easy to operate, you can speak to people in the room, and the picture is great. LOVE Jan 13, 2014

Great camera - we have a Motorola that i love for night, but this is the perfect camera for when we go out. Love that I can "check in" quickly from my phone and know that everything is ok! Dec 03, 2013

Everyone-
Q: Do you need two of them if you have twins? I want to watch the boys when I'm out of the house on my iPhone.
asked by Leah C. - May 24, 2014
-
This would depend if you have your twins in two different rooms. I have my twin girls in a room together so if you place the camera in the right spot you can definitely see them both!
Melissa P. - Jul 25, 2014
-
Q: Is this easy to set-up with an Apple computer?
asked by Jonathan S. - Mar 31, 2014
-
Yes. I have a Mac and had no issues. Really easy to use, love it!
Jakub G. - Mar 31, 2014
-
It's idiot proof. :)
Allyson D. - Mar 31, 2014
-
Yes. The box says it takes 3 minutes or something like that. In reality, it took about 5. Really simple and easy.
Jackson D. - Mar 31, 2014
-
SO easy actually. I did this with my computers and my iphone, and it's the best when you want to see what your kids are up to from work, or wherever you are. I highly recommend it!
