Product Information

Watch over your little one at home on the 7-inch, 720p High-Definition LCD Parent Viewer Display or remotely on your smartphone/tablet with the LeapFrog Baby Care App. This is a good value system that comes with everything you need from when your baby is little, but it’s also the only one we tested that doubles up as a tablet for toddlers, too. The five-inch touchscreen monitor, which is rimmed with a silicone bumper and is thus more durable than most, is preloaded with interactive videos, picture books narrated by ‘Hubble the Bear’ and simple games. See your baby as clear as day, even in ultra-low light, thanks to the Color Night Vision technology.

Copies the scene to the clipboard. The image can then be pasted into another application, such as an image editor. Create a comfortable environment by using the adaptive night light, soothing sounds and by monitoring the room temperature and humidity levels. The From Scene setting is the default; the object is sliced according to the properties set for the slicer. The list displayed includes all objects available in the project, plus the clipping boundary and the current scene view. You can resize the scene and the alternative views and Leapfrog Geo will remember the position of each view when you switch to that split view again.Range will be another major factor in finding the right monitor for you. You can either go for a model that uses a direct link between the camera and parent unit, or one that uses the home Wi-Fi, or in many cases, both. We found the range - the maximum working distance between the camera and parent unit - was seldom as far as advertised. Walls and floors reduce it, so the true range will depend on your home and the strength of your internet. If you have dodgy Wi-Fi, go for a monitor that can function without it.

Each alternative view has a toolbar that gives you different options for displaying the view. Use the Enclose Object list to zoom into or out of the alternative view: The nightlight, which we activate just before entering Jasper’s room, is soft and illuminates the wall behind the camera, instead of shining from the front, so it never disturbs him. The Nanit offers a really detailed analysis of the night, come morning, and the option to replay significant moments. The simplest way of measuring an approximate location in the scene is to first display an object in the scene window, then position the cursor over the location. The position of the cursor is displayed at the bottom of the Leapfrog Geo window: Watch over your little one at home on the 5.5-inch, 1080p Full High-Definition LCD Parent Viewer Display or remotely on your smartphone/tablet with the LeapFrog Baby Care+ App.

By changing the Slice mode for objects in the scene, you can illustrate how a model has been constructed:

As a nursery camera, however, it’s perfect. It’s wide angle, so it captures the whole room, not just the cot. The connection was consistently stable, the image quality super clear, and the 30X zoom – the best on the market – was really impressive. You can also monitor the nursery via the very reliable smartphone app, and add unlimited family members to do the same without being charged a subscription fee, as is the case with many of its competitors. The current viewing angle and scale are displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the scene window: Extra features include sleep analytics; night light, temperature and humidity sensor; three set-ups (floor stand, wall mount or mobile stand)Extra features include remote pan and tilt; 3X zoom; temperature, humidity and light sensors; preloaded lullabies However, if there is a chance that your signal isn’t strong enough, or will drop out regularly, then I would go old-school. Another point to remember is that if you are using your phone to monitor your baby, then you will need to charge it regularly and have it plugged in overnight. After measuring a distance, it is a good idea to change the viewing angle to confirm that the measurement has been made between the correct points in three dimensions.

Extra features include colour night vision; motorised pan, tilt and zoom; five soothing sounds and lullabies; night light; temperature and humidity sensor A final word – and it may sound obvious, but remember you’re on camera, not just your baby. When Jasper was co-sleeping with us, his granny often had to remind us that there was a live video feed from our bedroom to the kitchen screen, so be wary when you’re changing or having private conversations! Ditto with apps that allow approved users to peer in from anywhere in the world. Parents should bear in mind that a newborn should always sleep in the same room as a carer or parent. Having your baby sleep in the same room is recommended by the NHS for at least the first year of their life, to reduce the risk of SIDS.” How long do you have to use a baby monitor? The scene may appear empty because the slicer has removed all visible data. Reposition the slicer or turn it off. Slicer PropertiesPersonally, I found the interface of the monitor itself very complicated to navigate. You are guided by pictures that aren’t easily recognisable as symbols. I would have preferred for the symbols to be text so I could easily navigate the monitor. I found these to be overcomplicated and had to go through the instructions to find what I needed.
