12 Questions
What are the differences between this and the PIP? ?

The VM36XL Touch is a more feature-rich, video-focused baby monitor with remote camera control and app support, while the PIP models tend to offer simpler, audio-focused or basic video monitoring, often without Wi-Fi or remote camera control.

Which Motorola monitors are the newest? Lots of them have the ability for the app and parent monitor but not sure how to tell which one is their newest….. ?

The newest Motorola baby monitors that offer both app connectivity and parent unit viewing include models like the Motorola VM36XL Touch Connect, PIP1610 HD Connect, and the VM855 Connect.

Is this hsa eligible?

You'd want to reach out to your provider to see if the product is eligible and how you can submit a claim for reimbursement. Babylist doesn't support HSA or FSA payments right now.

For the model VM36XL I would like to purchase an additional camera?

You can purchase an extra camera for the VM36XL Touch from Motorola.

Can this camera be used with the Hubble Connect App? I use that currently with my first Motorola camera.

This monitor can't be used with the Hubble Connect App. Models that are VMxxx and Pipxxx only works with the Motorola Nursery app.

Does this camera record and offer playback?

It does! You can even create and share image snapshots, video recordings, and baby journal entries using the Motorola Nursery app.

I have the non-wifi version of this for my older child (Motorola VM36XL 5") and love it, can the camera from that be connected to this for the split screen or do I have to buy two cameras at once to do that?

Only a VM36XL Touch camera will pair with this monitor. So you won't be able to use this system with a VM36XL 5".

If I just want to use the handheld screen and not the phone app can the monitor work without Wi-Fi?

You can absolutely use the parent unit (the handheld screen) without WiFi. WiFi connection is only needed if you want to view the baby unit (the camera) on your own device.

Can this monitor be mounted?

Although it has a flexible grip mounting screw hole, you'll need to purchase the mount separately.

How long is the cord for the camera?

The power cord is about 4 feet in length.

Not Worth It's Price
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.

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.

Wish I had this sooner
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.

Great Camera!!!
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.
