Motorola Remote Wireless Video Baby Monitor
Watch Them Dream
The Motorola MBP36S is a wireless video baby monitor that enables you to always keep an eye on things. The crystal clear two-way audio feature allows you to very clearly communicate as if you are in the same room with your little one. Rest assured that they are always safe and sound with the large 3.5 inch diagonal color screen, remote pan, tilt, and zoom, and infrared night vision for keeping an eye on things in very low light levels. The multiple camera viewing with picture-in-picture and auto-switch screen options allow you to add additional cameras to enable you to keep an eye on the entire family in up to 4 rooms of your home. With Motorola’s MBP36S you’re free to watch them dream.
2.4GHz FHSS Technology with Two-Way Communication
The MBP36S' 2.4GHz FHSS technology offers a more reliable wireless connection compared to older wireless technologies. Upgraded wireless technology means much better range and less chance of missing something important happening in the home due to a weak or dropped signal. Encrypted audio offers added security and peace of mind. The Motorola MBP36S also features crystal clear enhanced two-way audio so you're able to speak or sing to your baby or to clearly communicate with a partner from another room.
Room Temperature Monitor, Infrared Night Vision, and Five Built-In Lullabies
The MBP36S is equipped with a room temperature display so that you can ensure that it never gets too hot or too cold for your little one. Infrared night vision helps keep you connected with what's going on in your baby's room without any lights to disturb little sleepers. In addition, you can calm your little one with the sound of your choice of 5 soothing polyphonic lullabies.
Color LCD Screen with Pan, Tilt, and Zoom Function
A full-color 3.5 inch diagonal LCD display shows real-time video and sound in your baby's room. Five LEDs on the MBP36S baby monitor indicate the level of sound activity in the room, keeping you informed of what's going on visually as well as audibly. Control the MBP36S' camera remotely to pan, tilt, and zoom the video image as needed.
"Out-of-Range" and "Low Battery" Alerts
The superior wireless range of the MBP36S lets you keep connected to your baby up to 590 feet away. So even if you have a larger home, you don't have to give up safety or the ability to stay connected to your little one. An alarm sounds when you're getting out of range of the transmitting unit, so you'll never have to wonder if you're close enough to hear what's going on. A low battery alert also sounds when it's time to recharge the battery.

PROS
Clear, quality picture in day and night vision mode. -- I am able to see my baby breathing with the camera located across the room. The daytime video is in full color. I wasn't convinced that a 3.5" monitor would give me the picture results that I wanted, but I couldn't hope for more from the picture reliability.
Durability -- The second day of owning this unit, I dropped the monitor from about 4 feet. The unit withstood the impact flawlessly and has survived every bump and drop since. I never dropped the camera, but I am impressed by the solid feel of both the camera and monitor. I don't feel like i paid for a bunch of cheap plastic.
Sound quality -- My son's voice comes through crystal clear on the monitor even at max distance from the camera. I was also pleasantly impressed with the quality of the microphone on the monitor which allows you to speak to the child through the camera. The first time my husband spoke to me through the camera, I thought he was in the room. There are also small green and red lights that light up when the baby makes noise so I can easily tell if the noise I heard came from his room or one of the cats in my room. This is an awesome feature!
Battery Length -- I've been using this camera for about two months, and the battery seems just as strong as it was when I got it. To save the battery, when you unplug it the screen will shut off after a period of 5, 30, or 60 minutes (which you choose). If you keep the monitor plugged in, the screen stays on. The audio stays on until the battery dies or the monitor is turned off. The monitor also beeps obnoxiously when the battery is dying, which I think is a good feature since I'd probably ignore it otherwise.
Great range -- I take the monitor with me when I check the mail, weed the garden, and split firewood. I am fully confident in the range of this monitor all around my house, garage, and most of my yard.
Able to pan and tilt and zoom -- This is the ONLY monitor that I found within a similar price range that could pan and tilt. From anywhere in my house, I can rotate the camera to view any part of his room. I can also zoom in to 2x to keep a closer watch on my little guy. Again, I can see him breathing when I zoom in. The camera adjusts quickly while panning and zooming in the room.
Easy setup and use -- I literally charged both devices, turned them on, and we were good to go. The camera has to stay plugged in, and the second I turn the monitor on I can see my son's room. Getting the hang of using the controls on the monitor wasn't an issue at all. This monitor is self-explanatory.
Perfect connection -- I have never lost connection with the camera. I have no doubts that I am hearing and seeing my son all night long.
Able to connect up to four cameras -- I currently only use one camera, but I love that this monitor can grow with my family.
Temperature display -- The monitor tells me what the temperature is in my son's room. This has been a lifesaver through this hot summer. It also means I can check it without entering the room to wake my son.
Bonus Features -- The camera also has five lullabies that you can use the monitor to play through the camera. I haven't needed this feature yet since my son is so young. Additionally, this monitor has an alarm for 2, 4, and 6 hours. I have not used this feature either since I am in the habit of using my phone for alarms. These had no weight in my decision to purchase this monitor, but they are nice perks that didn't cost anything extra.
CONS
Battery Life -- The battery is supposed to last for 19 hours, but what isn't clear is that the 19 hours is likely only for audio. If you have the video on the whole time (keep turning off the timed shutoff), the battery lasts closer to 3 to 4 hours. The actual battery life is more of a pro in my opinion, but I am listing it as a con because I felt a bit misled.
Nothing -- Honestly, I dug deep to try to come up with any other complaints I have with this product, but I can't. The Motorola MBP36S baby monitor is exactly what I hoped for and expected. I will update if I have problems with the monitor in the future, but currently I am fully sold that this is the best baby monitor on the market (without spending a lot more money).
OVERALL
If you want a monitor you won't regret purchasing, this is it.

OVERALL
If you want a monitor you won't regret purchasing, this is it.
I used the Foscam for about 6 months and it never held a charge properly. I bought the Samsung and used it for 3 days before it died (sure it may have been defective, but it lacked features and clarity. Even the Foscam at half the price was clearer and better functioning than the Samsung).
This Motorola has been a God-send. It works perfectly, has clear video, zoom, pan/tilt, and plays music through it when my daughter starts crying. Easy to adjust the song, volume, etc., and she just plops back down and is asleep in seconds. In just 1 or 2 days using this camera, she figured out that if we turn on the music, it means go back to sleep, and she does almost immediately. Save yourself some time and money and just get this the first time.
2-Star REVIEW UPDATE: I too had the power input issues, the thing is just not soldered well to the circuit board at all. Eventually after 6 months of use it has broken off inside the unit. I contacted Motorola Warranty Support with all the required info, and they responded in email telling me to "Please contact Warranty Support with the following info" and then proceeded to list all the info I had already provided, and they closed my ticket. Super unhelpful.
1-Star Update: 2nd monitor broke in the same manner, USB charging jack breaks loose internally. Got it replaced with another same model - this one had a different pin-style charging cable and that seems to work better, except then you have to fine another power cable if you don't want to be unplugging this thing and carrying it to another charger over and over, which you will need to because the battery life is atrocious.
This model has removed the best features, the lullaby playing. This one plays crickets, ocean, rain, windchimes, and one song that is about 16 seconds long total - you can't adjust the volume of any of these. What were you thinking Motorola???
Over the 4 years I've been buying and returning these things, the camera quality has stayed the same or become WORSE - while you're able to take incredible pictures with $30 chinese cell phones, Motorola has somehow found a way to put the same or worse camera lenses in their products year after year.
