Unfortunately, this product is not worth the price. While the camera and screen capture clear images, the monitor has some frustrating deficiencies. The monitor continually struggles to connect to the camera -- even when turned on in the same room -- and will often disconnect at random moments throughout the day. The monitor is also unnecessarily loud (why anyone would turn it above the third volume setting is beyond me), especially since the monitor increases the volume automatically at movements or sounds caught by the camera (a feature that is quite nice, however!). What's more, when using the sound machine feature on the camera, the camera's microphone picks that sound up, and thus, the monitor assumes a sound is being made and increases the volume for the duration of the sound being played.
Overall, I would recommend either a cheaper model or a different brand of monitoring system altogether.

We love this! it is so easy to install and you can see baby from your phone. I wish it came with 2 cameras as an option to buy.

Great monitor if you have small kids
I have been using the Motorola VM36XL monitor for about a month and love it. I bring the video monitor in my bed room at night and have it near me during the day if the kids are sleeping or playing. It great to have on to keep an eye on them. It also great because you can use the app too and that's great if you aren't close. I feel a lot safer with this monitor.

Nice baby camera and functions
This baby camera is a nice way to be able to run around the house and finish house chores while the little one is napping. My 1 year old wakes often from her naps so this is helping me feel more confident that I'll hear her cry while still getting things done around the house. Main importance for me is that the camera doesn't freeze and so far so good. I've been able to continuously see live stream as needed. Thank you Motorola for a great baby camera.

I loved this baby camera and it functions so much better than our Infant Optics. It was super easy to set up although I did have a couple of hiccups with the app. It took me 15 mins to pair our camera to the app. Not the biggest deal. The resolution on the monitor is superb and love that its touch screen. You can simply move the view by touching the monitor up or down. As for how long this might last, time will tell. Our infant optics broke a year in and had to get a replacement, hope this is not the case with this one.

The Motorola VM36XL camera has been great so far!! I have been using it for close to a month and it blows the previous baby camera I had out of the water. The base is sturdy and the touch screen is easy to use. I love that I can connect it to an app on my phone for easy viewing and can set notifications. I have had not issues with the camera staying connected to the viewer, my old camera seemed to disconnect constantly. There are also some smaller features that really set it apart from the last set up I had. The viewer had a flash light function which I have used more than once to find something in the dark. You can also play music and audio stories through the camera. This is a fantastic camera and monitor for a little one's room!

Great baby monitors, app needs improvement
I've been using this new Motorola baby monitor for a few weeks and in love with it. The baby monitor system is easy to set up and very easy to use. I like the big clear touchscreen and the way you can talk to your baby from the monitor. I'm also impressed with the picture quality of this monitor, even during night time I can see my baby clearly. The sound quality is great as I can hear my baby with no issues. The app is a bit delayed. Overall it's a great product and I'd recommend it to my friends.

Bells & Whistles For All!
Motorola did our little family a huge solid by sending us their Motorola VM36XL Touch Connect baby monitor for free in exchange for an honest review. So thanks, Motorola! And here goes: What's in the Box? - 1 Camera - 1 Monitor - 2 Power Cords - Instruction Manual What Bells? What Whistles? - The VM36XL Touch Connect is WiFi enabled, super easy to set up, and comes with an app that'll allow you to check up on your little one from your phone or tablet - whenever, wherever. - The camera has remote pan, tilt & zoom that you operate with a 5 inch, high-def, multipoint touchscreen display. Not only was every inch of our nursery covered, it was covered clearly. I could see a booger if I really zoomed in. - The camera moves silently and is equipped with nightvision, for busting your little darling when they try to climb out of the crib at 2am. Freeze, sucka! - It has lullabies, nature sounds & other cool things to soothe baby when they give you that look. You know. The "oh no, not again!" look when you start singing completely out of tune. We can't all be rockstars, but we can be good parents! - This monitor includes 2-way talk! Not only will you freak out the babysitter, you'll hear their reaction! Priceless. But Seriously, Guys. I'm a mom of two very young, rowdy, too-smart-for-their-own-good little boys, so I really don't have time to fiddle around with an over complicated, difficult baby monitor. This is not one of those. Not even close. I charged it overnight like it said to, and the next day it took me MAYBE twenty minutes to get rolling. Wifi connected, app downloaded, everything. The touchscreen WORKS and it's huge. So much clearer and better quality than others we've had. I love that I can use the 2-way talk to help calm down my boys if someone else is there caring for them. I am also a fan of the battery. I didn't feel like I had to constantly charge this. I'd absolutely recommend the Motorola VM36XL Touch Connect to a fellow Mom or Dad friend.

We have been really happy with this Motorola baby monitor. phone. I live not having to rely on space on my phone to have another app or my phone having enough charge, etc. to view my baby.The picture resolution is amazing.Sound quality is great. And it has a two way microphone.Battery life is good and it holds a charge.
