Levana BABYVIEW20

levana baby video monitorsThe most important factor about any of these devices is the wireless reception. This can be a tough job but the Levana Babyview20 *INTERFERENCE FREE* Digital Wireless Video Monitor does a steady job producing a consistent signal; We haven’t had any major freezes or lost any video signals at all. You can see a very brief pause when there’s fast motion during night vision, but it is very brief and doesn’t detract from the overall efficiency of the unit.

The night vision works superbly. The camera holds 9 infrared lights. In the dark, you can actually see it glowing red, but it is pretty dim so it’s not something that would scare a baby at night. You can see the actual infrared lights during the video we uploaded but it’s not that bright; that is how the digital camera sees it — not the human eye. But from the video, you can just get an idea of how much infrared lights are in there.

There is a VOX (Voice Operated eXchange) feature, which allows the monitor to be left off and only activate when there is sound detected on the camera. This is a very nice feature, but it would have been nice to be able to adjust the sound sensitivity so you cold catch lower sounds.

This baby video monitor comes with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. According to Levana, it takes 3 hours to fully charge; blue LED means it is charging and when it goes off it’s charged. The camera requires four AAA batteries if you don’t connect it to an AC adapter so at least you do have the option of wire free if you really need it.. Levana says the camera can operate for 4.5 continuous hours with AAA batteries. (and about half if you use the night light) So obviously, it’s probably better to have a power outlet near the camera to use the mains supply instead or be sure to buy some rechargeable AAA batteries, they are relatively inexpensive these days.
