This is not the usual sort of review as I have here with me a Baby Camera from D-Link. Yes, it’s used specifically to monitor the little tykes as they sleep/rest in the crib. On paper, it is supposed to work like a live baby monitor that can pair to your smart device. In reality, it does even more.
Easy Does It
With the D-Link Baby Camera, there is really not much to do during the setting up phase. Just take it out of the box, plug it in, link it to your smart device via mydlink Baby App, adjust for best viewing angle and keeping out of reach of the baby and you’re set.
Packed Up
For a simple device, the D-Link Baby Camera is fully equipped. Wi-Fi, HD Video (720p), night vision, sound/motion detection, expansion storage, temperature monitor, remote viewing, two-way audio system, push alerts, and even playing lullabies. It is indeed choke full of features. I had to put a few to the test because it just seemed surreal. The Wi-Fi worked, so did the lullabies too (cute and soft melodies), and the automated detectors worked like a charm.
