Reviewer's Opinion
When I found out I was reviewing a home monitoring system I was very excited as I liked the idea of our home being more secure and also I have dogs that I could keep an eye on too. I found a lot of positives and a few negatives so, here goes:
- Very easy to configure and set up
- Very easy to use from PC, IPhone, IPad
- Very reliable (only had to reset it once in 5-6 weeks, and I think it would have sorted itself out)
- Always gets a strong signal
- Very easy to administer remotely through the web interface
- Very good quality sound recordings
However, there was one negative;
-The motion detection software is extremely sensitive (I woke up to 50 email notifications of movement during the night, mainly moths that had been attracted to the inferred).
Essex Baby Rating
We have taken all the information into account and, as the system retails at £149.99, we find that it is a little over priced considering some of the lack in quality. All in all we have rated this product a 4 out of 5.
