What's important when buying a video baby monitor is to have clear picture and audio quality. Levana state that their ClearVu digital technology ensures outstanding image clarity so that you can watch your child's every move. With a signal range that reaches up to a maximum of 350 feet you can see and hear your little one downstairs or out in the yard.
Customers seem to be happy with the video quality, but some have complained that they experienced static interference with the audio. Even though digital is virtually interference free, many other devices such as WiFi routers run on the same frequency and can interfere with the signal. Some people never have any interference problems whereas other people do. This can often all depend on whether you live in a built up or more suburban area.
The Levana ClearVu digital video monitor is very easy to set up, all you really need to do is plug in and play. You get a user's manual which shows you where everything is and how to use the functions. The unit is extremely compact and lightweight, so you can take it with you whether you are going on vacation or to stay with relatives.
You can move the parent unit around the house or place it in its base to recharge. Unfortunately there's no kick stand to stand it up when it's not in the recharge base or a belt clip to carry it around hands free. This is a complaint from some customers who said they didn't know the monitor came without a kick stand. Without a kick stand, the monitor is difficult to stand upright and therefore not very portable.
The cool thing about this video monitor is that the camera has a rainbow color changing, built-in light display that turns on automatically when the room gets dark. You can turn off the night light manually once your child is asleep. Many babies seem to find the different color lights soothing.
For the price you get a pretty good digital video baby monitor. The Levana ClearVu monitor offers a good signal range as well as great picture and audio quality. It may be short on features that other more expensive models offer, but it does have many useful functions.
