The Ellie Baby Plus, Baby Monitor Pro is a simple to set up and use camera for your home and given it is aimed at babies in the house this can be used for basic security for your pet or even elder parents/ grandparents if they have a need to be monitored which is great.
What is great with this kit is there is a tablet that comes with it and an app which bot replicate each other in most instances so for example if you are in one room and your baby or child in another you can carry the portable tablet with you which is well built and robust and simple to use just like the app and you can see both in action in the video review below and what to expect.
The app is full of features and has a good UI and works both on Android and iOS giving you control be it at home or if you are away and you can set notifications if you wish to do so and not miss a thing.
There is a two way speaker system and you can clearly hear if you are either listening or speaking from your phone not only this there is a suite of options for babies such as lullabies to help them sleep if they are not settling down. You can also use the split screen mode if you are not with the child.
The camera is also quite cool with a themed toy shape and look and is silent when it is being moved around so it will not disturb your child or pet unless you speak through it.
The camera also offers zoom, large angle rotation, 360° room view, and automatic movement tracking. Features 2.5K QHD night vision and Pan-Tilt rotation and comes with local storage and no monthly fees which for me is a real bonus as most security cameras no require this and tease you into a 30 day trial with no SD card option so this is a huge win for me and certainly is for the customer.
Of course AI being the big buzzword now this camera also offer AI features such as covered face & rollover detection, breathing detection, sleep quality reports, danger zone detection, cry detection, auto-soothing, person tracking, and auto photo capture and also offer sleep and breathing reports we do not have a baby to try this part out but I gently went over it with my dog who kindly participated in some of the review which was hard work.
Overall this is a superb product if you have a new baby and if you are expecting one this needs to be on your radar as it offer more than most in this category.
