Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This monitor was purchased to replace a Motorola MBP36 which failed twice with no sound and Motorola wanted 3+ weeks to ship out a replacement. We are very happy we switched. This monitor seems to be very similar to the MBP36 with the following diffrences: *The Infant Optics has excellent build quality and feels sturdy. The Motorola felt cheaply made at times and the sound completely failed on 2 Motorola units. *Menu and navigation seem almost identical to the Motorola except for it does not have the annoying/horrible sounding lullabies that are on the Motorola. Almost like it's using the same software. *The display quality on the Infant Optics is much better. Image is sharper and appears to possibly be a higher resolution. *The infant optics parent unit/monitor uses a standard micro usb port for charging. You can use any usb charger with a micro usb cable or the included second cable this comes with. This make it easy to charge in other locations. The Motorola uses its own charger, which we would have to move any time we wanted to charge it in a different location. *You can use the short cut key to adjust the volume and brightness without going through the menu.I don't think our Motorola had a shortcut for the volume or brightness. *The battery life is better and it does not need as frequent charging. The only feature we were no initially thrilled with was the sound it make when the display turns off after the designated time (3 min, 5 min, or never). We have grown to like this feature. It allows us to easily know how much time as passed since we looked at the display. This works great when we are trying to get our son to nap. If he falls a sleep within the first beep we know less then 5 minutes has passed. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a video monitor the allows you to remotely pan the camera in the $250 price range. ++++++++Update+++++++ We experienced the issue other users have reported about the weak USB charging port. Infant Optics was excellent and provided an updated version of the monitor. It has a strengthened charger connector and the beep when the screen turns off after the designated time is now gone. I received the new monitor the very next day as they use Amazon to fulfill the replacement orders. Can't emphasize enough how much we love this monitor and how great the customer service has been. Definitely buy this. ++++++++Update+++++++ We're coming up on almost 2 years since we purchased this and I would give it 6 stars if I could. We have added a second camera and plan to continue using this monitor with our next child.
