BOIFUN 2K Baby Monitor: Split-Screen & Night Light

Good video quality baby monitor with offline FHSS video screen and optional WiFi app
I wanted to find a baby monitor that had an offline FHSS video screen with the option to connect to it over WiFi via a smartphone app (called CloudEdge). I also wanted the option to buy an additional baby monitor camera later on in case I liked it enough to have one in a go bag and one in a permanent spot and not have 2 separate video screens.After a lot of digging around, this Boifun baby monitor checked all of those boxes and is at a good price point. The video screen is easy to control and has some good features and works out of the box with no setup. The little kickstand is nice, I can bring it with me to the bathroom or stand it up in the kitchen while doing dishes. Both the video screen and the camera use MICRO USB for power – and the camera must be plugged in at all times.The smartphone app used to connect via WiFi is called CloudEdge, a software many non-name brand security cameras/monitors use. It can do just about everything the video screen can do: 2 way talking, zoom, camera controls, screenshots, monitor settings. You can create a “family” for the camera and invite other people to sign up and have access to the camera. If you try to share an account it will kick out whoever’s logged in if you try to access from a different phone. The camera also does not come connected to CloudEdge (or WiFi) by default – so you can keep the camera completely offline if you never setup WiFi or decide to remove the camera from CloudEdge.The camera itself looks nice and has decent night vision that automatically kicks on. It comes with some screws and the ability to mount it somewhere from the bottom. Otherwise you can just plop it down anywhere. The camera has a wide range it can move, although I wish it could move downwards a bit more.It should be noted, both Boifun and the CloudEdge app are based out of China. After my own research, they both seem to be pretty reputable companies. But I can confirm the offline/local FHSS connection works great, we used it without even setting up the app for the first few weeks.All in all, it’s a great product for the price, with dual offline/online functionality that very few similar products have. I’ve just bought an addon camera after a couple months of owning this and am assuming I can sync it right up to my current video screen/app. I will edit this review if it doesn’t work.

Great product, great price
We searched a long time for a baby monitor that had the features that were important to us, and this camera has them all. It is so good that we bought 3 of them! This camera has many features, and although we don’t use all of them; it is nice to know they are available in case we need to and is included for the price.We love the fact that this camera has an app that we can use directly on our phone, that is easy to navigate, and can be used simultaneously on different devices. The app is intuitive to use, and it makes it easy when you have multiple cameras to see all views at one time. The included camera display monitor also has the option to view two cameras simultaneously, which is very helpful if you have more than one baby in different rooms /cribs. The camera has the option of standard versus HD, and the clarity on both the handheld display or phone app is great, even in the dark. Depending on how you mount it, the zoom function can let you see fine details within a crib or general movement throughout a room. We have two cameras focused on the crib and bassinet and one camera just in the living room to track general movement, which is helpful, especially if you would like to see what other family members or the babysitter/ caregivers are doing. We especially were interested in finding a device that had a temperature and humidity sensor, as we do not have central air and our baby has eczema; so we needed to be able to make sure that the environment was suitable. I will say that the thermostat does consistently read 2 to 3° higher than the actual temperature of the room, and this might be due to the actual device being warm, but it is consistently higher. So we do have an idea of what the actual temperature in the room is. We enjoy the intercom feature which can be accessed via the phone app or the handheld display. The camera also has mood lighting and the ability to play music if a SD card is purchased separately and used. We personally do not use the camera for music or mood lighting, as we have a sound machine and it makes it harder to pick up on sounds in the room If music is being played through the camera. This camera has motion detection, humanoid detection, cry detection, and noise detection which you can adjust the sensitivities for.The one downside for this product is the battery life on the display. The display can last multiple hours after charge, so it’s not like you only get 30 minutes; but it’s not something that you’d be able to have unplugged for half a day. We have not had an issue with this as the display and camera are pretty much always plugged in with the included plug. Set up for this camera was super simple, making it convenient to take on the go or move around the house as needed. This camera is so nice we had to buy it thrice!

This camera is great! Excellent video and audio quality, also at night or in the dark (black/white/grey picture for night vision, full colour picture for daytime). The monitor device it comes with has a nice large screen and is very handy, as well as the phone app when not using the monitor to check in, move the camera and adjust some settings. There are lots of options for personalized camera and monitor settings, and the decorative alien sleeve for the camera is very cute! The sleeve is removable if one prefers not to use it. Another great feature is that the camera also tracks the temperature and humidity levels in our kiddo’s room, so we can keep them at optimal levels. The camera is quiet while moving around, and has great range/coverage. It can be placed on a flat surface like a table or thick ledge of a crib, or be fixed to a camera stand, but it was very easy for us to mount it to the wall. The camera needs to be plugged in to work (does not operate on batteries or a charge), so keep that in mind…unless an extension cord is used, then it can be positioned further from an outlet if needed. A micro SD card can be inserted into the camera for recording and video/audio storage purposes, and it uses wifi connectivity. The nightlight feature is also customizable with a wide range of colour options, I just wish the nightlight stayed on indefinitely until we decide to turn it off rather than turning off on its own after a short time…that is my only gripe with this device. Other than that, I highly recommend this baby camera and monitor.

Después de estar utilizando el producto un par de meses, va lo malo:-No pude activar la garantía de 3 años en México-Me dio miedo 2 días porque “detectaba movimiento” cuando no había nada moviéndose-Otras veces, no siempre detecta el movimiento de mi bebéla sensibilidad de los sensores se modifica si por alguna razón tienes que desconectar el dispositivo, es como si las funciones se reiniciaran y luego se me olvida reconfigurar-El sensor de llanto tampoco funciona siempre-La visión nocturna se activa y desactiva con poca luz y llega a ser un poco ruidoso cuando se está adaptando ya sea en el amanecer o atardecer.-La batería del monitor dura muy poco! Al día lo tengo que cargar 2 veces si lo he usado mucho-el modo de descanso a veces tarda en reaccionar con los sensores-Creo que por el precio, no esperaba tener tantos detalles.Lo bueno:-La calidad de la visión nocturna es bastante buena-La calidad del video en el monitor también es buenisima-Me encanta que la app y el monitor funcionan muy bien en conjunto y he resuelto muchos detalles desde la app-El diseño es lindo y si puede funcionar como lámpara de noche-No sé cómo pero aún sin señal de Wifi siguió funcionando (desconozco si sea una función)-El diseño es hermosoPara lo que lo necesitaba cumple, peeero por el precio, sí esperaba un poco de menos detalles con los sensores
