UKSUP Baby Monitor With Camera – 5” Display

We are happy to purchase this camera. Easy to set up. Don’t need wifi and it’s safe to use. I love how you can detect the temperature of the room so you can adjust the temperature when needed. And I’m able to adjust the volume and brightness. My favorite part is you can look all around the room without being in there. You can turn it in all directions showing the entire room which the best part. The zoom feature is also incredibly helpful! Two way talk is amazing. Definitely, it’s the best purchase I have made as first time parent.

Bought this monitor to replace our original that stopped charging properly.

Overall, decent monitor. Works as expected. Picture and sound quality is average and sufficient to get the job done. I opted for this one because I wanted to have a second camera in my child’s playroom. Easy to toggle between cameras. So I can keep an eye on him and still get some housework done. I also like that it displays the room temperature.

Things I don’t like: first, the camera angle is odd for some reason. We currently have it sitting on top of a dresser, pointed towards the crib on the other side of the room. When adjusting the view, I can’t look at the floor. Which is minor but sometimes one of our cats sneaks in there and starts making noise. I like to verify it is a cat and not my child making noises in his sleep before opening the door. I plan to mount the camera though, which should solve this issue. Second, the monitor screen is large, which seems like it should be a plus. However, I found I actually didn’t prefer it. Our old monitor was smaller and I was able to easily slip it in my pocket while moving around the house. Again, not a big issue but not my preference.

My biggest and only true “complaint” is the lack of warning for low battery. The charge itself lasts quite awhile, but it only gives a few low beeps before shutting off. I figured this out one night when I forgot to plug it in and found it dead when I woke up. My old one was loud, obnoxious and went for several minutes before actually turning off.

I really like this camera. The zoom in and zoom out is easy to use. The camera has a good picture. The camera is a perfect size. I use this camera today keep an eye on my guinea pigs that are in another room. I’m crazy about my guinea pigs and I need to know how they’re doing every minute of the day. And if I can’t be in that room so happy that I have this camera to help me. It is constantly on watching my babies. And the little monitor goes everywhere I go. I do wish that I could take the little monitor with me when I leave the house but I cannot do that. It’s got a good battery life and the picture quality and brightness are perfect. When using the controls the performance of the camera is smooth. The camera will go tonight mode on its own. The monitor also has songs that you can play for a baby. The camera has a microphone so you can talk to your baby while you’re in another room.

 This a fantastic all around monitor that is reliable and has so many features. We’ve been using this monitor for 3 weeks and we love it! Setup was easy for me since I just watched my husband do it 🙂 but seriously it didn’t take him long and he ended up drilling a hole to make sure it was secured well above our little one’s bed. We bought a previous monitor from this company 2 years ago but this monitor upgrade has been a game changer!

PROS
Some of my favorite features I haven’t found elsewhere…
• Safety is most important to me so knowing the monitor can’t be hacked and is NOT wifi connected was a must and this was perfect for that reason. Wifi connections can also be iffy and unreliable going in and out so we like that this is a no wifi, direct connection from the camera to the monitor.
• The large high quality screen shows colors and details well in daytime, very crisp and not super grainy. I use glasses but can look over and see the large screen well at night without glasses on. The night vision automatically comes on which is nice and it is very clear, and high quality as well which we appreciate!
• Being able to look all around the room without being in there is amazing! With just 1 camera, I can turn it in all directions showing the ENTIRE room which is so nice and puts your mind at ease! The zoom feature is also incredibly helpful! As our baby grows, I can check on her when she’s out of the crib just playing in there to make sure she’s not getting into trouble while I’m doing the dishes in the other room without worrying about it.
• Being able to dim the monitor screen brightness at night so it doesn’t light up the room or disturb you while you sleep in the other room.
• The volume can go as high as you want, really high or very low and everywhere in between. It’s a great feature. I’m a light sleeper so I can put it on the most quiet setting which is pretty low and still hear our baby when she fully wakes up and not be woken up when she simply turns over or stirs a little for a moment. Of course you can adjust to your preferences.
• The new temperature feature is very helpful. Although the accuracy we found to be 2 degrees above the actual temperature but now that we know that, we know the actual temp is 2 degrees less than shown on the monitor. It hasn’t fluctuated more than that so we still always know the correct temperature so it wasn’t a problem for us. If you create temperature alerts, just keep that in mind and check how accurate the reading is first and plan accordingly.
• The battery life works great. We don’t leave it unplugged while in use for more than 6 hours at most but the battery still has juice left after all that time. We also one tap the power button to darken the screen and save the battery but still be able to hear and 1 tap it again to see what’s going on in the baby’s room.
• The cord to plug it in for a charge is pretty long so it can be plugged in anywhere no problem.
• Knowing the time has been very helpful but I will say there was a glitch where the whole monitor randomly shut off when updating the settings for the intital setup. It only happened once. It hasn’t happened since that initial setup.
• The music songs have more variety and are songs our baby likes such as silent night. The quality sounds like an old jewelry sound box. Others may or may not like this but I found it charming and baby didn’t mind, she liked it. I like being able to set music timers and keep our baby distracted while I have time to take a quick shower. Sometimes the sound echoes but it’s really when you’re too close to the room.
• Customer service is great and helped us replace a monitor 1 year ago with an older completely different model, it was not this one I’m reviewing. I’m saying that so you know that they will help if you have any problems and send a new one if there’s really a problem with it not working. We have not had any issues with this monitor!

CONS
• One con that has bothered me is the fact that when I’m further away in the kitchen, the monitor disconnects when I go by the sink. I’ve learned that I have to keep the monitor in our living room or on the kitchen table. It’s only 43ft away so my husband thinks it’s because there are too many walls in the way. I can go outside and be further away and still hear and see her on the monitor so it must be the walls and cabinets in the kitchen? It isn’t a problem since I can still hear and I only have to take a few steps to see what’s going on but it can be annoying if you forget, it will beep and show on the screen to notify you that it is disconnected or having connectivity issues but you just have to bring it closer and it connects again quickly. I’m not sure if this would work for a multi-level house, maybe someone else can speak to that in another review.

Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and with the company’s customer service. As you can see above there are several pros and really only 1 con to me. This will not be a wasted purchase. It was a beneficial purchase for us and our family for sure!

This is a good quality baby monitor! It Is very handy & picture quality is good & easily setup in minutes. Night vision is such a plus! The sound quality is good too. I would recommend to a friend if they wanted a monitor that doesn’t break the bank!
