If you need a baby monitor this will work. BUT, it'll be horribly inconsistent, and possibly drive you mad. Sometimes it will work well but often it won't. Sometimes it notifies and sometimes those settings are mysteriously turned off. Sometimes you can connect to the video and other times despite a perfectly working wifi network you can't. Get a regular baby monitor because all you need is audio and not the constant frustration this'll bring you. User for nearly 3 years.
