Motorola Additional Camera for Motorola MBP33 and MBP36 Baby Monitor,Brown with White

I bought the Motorola camera and monitor kit and this so I would have two cameras. I put one of them in my daughters' room and one overlooking the back patio. That way I'd be notified when my kids wake up from their nap and if there is anyone creeping around the back of my apartment. The system worked great, but I was always bothered by the incredibly short battery life on the monitor and on the monitor's really short range. If I wanted the monitor to be by my bed, it'd die before the night is over and then BEEP BEEP BEEP every few seconds to remind me to plug it in. Very annoying. Then, I'd want to go outside while the kids are sleeping but still be able to wach them but the range was pitiful. I could not go further than 5-10' from my house.So, what to do. Well, I love gadgets and go a Dropcam. The Dropcam has a 720p camera and sends the video over the internet! That means I can use my iPhone to watch the kids - I could run out to take out the trash while the kids are sleeping and know they are ok. I can also be on vacation with the family and receive notifications if there is movement or sound in my house! That's amazing. Now, the downside is that I can't move the Dropcam like I can with this unit. The thing is, thought, that 720p is really WIDE - I can get my kids entire room in one location which means I don't have to move the camera to see everything! So, that's amazing.Anyways, I spent over $300 on this Motorola setup and would have rather bought 2 Dropcams for that same amount.

When it was time for my second child, I already owned a Summer Infant video baby monitor that did not allow you to add a camera. We did not love it. In fact, we had to contact Summer Infant within the first year because the video that had started as very clear became so grainy you could only make out a child-like outline on the monitor. Although the customer service was not fantastic (they wanted me to go without a unit for 2 weeks in order to replace it), we were willing to try again. So we bought another Summer Infant monitor and camera, but we couldn't get it to work. We exchanged it for another, and the same problem. We guessed that both of the monitors did not play well with each other. So we decided to look for something new.I read all the reviews I could find and tried a different Summer Infant monitor, a Samsung monitor and finally this the Motorola MBP36 monitor and camera. We also purchased an extra camera. We have now had the Motorola for almost a year and the picture quality is great. We do not have an issue with interference and we like having the option of talking to our toddler through the camera instead of running upstairs.Recently, however, we began having issues with the monitor and found that it would randomly stop working. I had read some bad reviews of Motorola customer service, so I pulled out the original box and documentation and prepared to have a difficult conversation, but I was pleasantly surprised. I provided the customer service representative with all of the information she asked for and I was informed that Motorola does not repair the units but that they would ship another unit out to me. In return, I just needed to use the pre-paid label and ship my old camera and unit back. This was a much better experience than Summer Infant who originally refused to ship me a new unit until they received my old unit. (It was only after two more phone calls and a credit card that they agreed to ship the new monitor to me without receiving my old one first).

This camera was purchased for my Motorola MBP36 Baby Monitor which only comes with one camera. I needed a second camera for a new baby. Previous to purchasing the Motorola MBP36, I had used baby monitors from Levana, Lorex, MobiCam, Samsung, and Summer Infant (my search for the perfect one was a little excessive). This Motorola is one of the better ones I've used.The setup was super-easy, and it worked flawlessly. It's the exact same camera that comes with the MBP36 set, so it swivels all around - tilts, pans and zooms nicely as advertised. It can be placed on a nightstand, and it can be mounted to the wall. I have both cameras mounted to the wall, about 7-8 feet away from the crib. The night vision is excellent. If you have the MBP36 unit with camera, you know exactly what you are getting. I was pretty happy with the purchase.About a month into using the unit it started to slowly lose the night vision feature. At first it was barely noticeable so I dismissed it; but another month in, it became pretty obvious that night vision was failing. Night vision was still working on the original camera (after months of use), but not on this additional camera (only about a month use). I swapped the two cameras between the rooms and tested them to confirm, and verified that night vision was gone on the second camera only. I probably got a defective unit.As night vision is one of the key features I needed, this camera became very inconvenient...it basically functioned only as an audio monitor for the second room at night.Thankfully, because I ordered from Amazon and this camera falls under the baby products 365-day return policy, Amazon replaced it at no charge. Order from Amazon if you want the peace of mind of a 365-day return guarantee. If you want 20% off the retail price, buy with a coupon from BBB, if there is one near you. I believe BBB has a good return policy as well.I gave it 4-stars because the replacement is working well. I assume that the first camera I received was defective. If this replacement camera fails also, I will write an update to this review and revise the rating.

We have two kids 1 cam in each room. No problems so far and we have had one of the cams for about a year. I did call customer service for a few questions and she wasnt really very friendly nore did she answer the question properly but maybe it was the way i asked it.Anyways no real complaints here glad we got it.

Works just like the one we originally got as a set and paired easily. The problem is that we can't listen to both cameras at the same time (we have one in each of our son's rooms). We have to choose which camera to watch/listen to. If anyone knows how to monitor two cameras in two rooms at the same time please let me know.

worked very well, little bit of static with the mic but otherwise solid.

We purchased this monitor and a second camera in anticipation of our second child's arrival; we've had the two cameras set up for about two months. We previously owned the Summer Hand Held Day and Night Video Monitor, it was a great camera and served its purpose quite well for three years until the night vision feature failed. We also had constant problems with sound and range.Had we known how great this Motorola Monitor was we would have purchased it long ago. The video is crystal clear, sound is great, panning and scan features between the two camera sets is amazing. We have a large brick house and have had zero interference with other devices, this monitor has excellent range. We love how large the video display is, no need to squint in the middle of the night to check in on the kids. We would nightly recommend this friends and wish we would have discovered it sooner!

Works well with the system. Controller broke and I had to buy a new controller and camera.
