Customer review
""When I say I never write reviews I mean it… but this baby monitor deserves all the accolades!! It ticks all the boxes that were most important to me: a monitor that worked without WiFi, a camera that I could control from the parent unit, and a high-quality screen with night vision. The playlist of lullabies, two-way communication, and temperature gauge are the added touches I didn't even know I needed. Knowing that I can add more cameras later makes TweetyCam such a great investment. You can tell this monitor was created by a Mum for other Mums. Just brilliant! "" - Norah
