Pros and cons

According to our baby monitor expert
  • You can set a diaper and feeding timer, so you know exactly when to change or feed your baby.
  • Thanks to the VOX function, the parent unit only turns on when your child makes noise and saves battery life.
  • With 3 lullabies, your child can enjoy various songs and sounds.
  • Due to the 5 hour maximum battery life, you have to charge the parent unit overnight.
  • You have to position the camera correctly yourself, because you can't pan it remotely.

Description

Thanks to the Luvion Essential, you'll know exactly what's happening in the nursery. This baby monitor has night vision, so you'll always have the best view of the nursery. At night, you can use the VOX function, which turns on the parent unit when your child makes a sound. That's useful, because you won't be bothered by the bright light of the display. Did your child wake up right when you started cooking dinner? You can use the two-way audio or play a lullaby. That way, you can comfort your child from a distance.

A baby monitor with an observation camera can be compared to a smartphone that runs out faster when you play a video. That means it has a limited battery life.

Much more complete than 'Essential' suggests!

  • Price quality
  • Usability
  • No network connection required
  • Sound threshold energy saving mode is low

The Luvion Essential baby camera is particularly easy to use. You don't need to install anything, just turn on the camera and monitor and it works.

I was hesitant to take a baby monitor with a camera, because I thought a 'normal' baby monitor would also suffice. Now I am very happy that I have chosen a baby monitor with camera.
Our little one gets tired of lying on her back during the day, so we put her on her side. Thanks to the image, we can go our own way and still keep an eye on her. It is also easier to judge what is going on when she cries. Saves a lot of stairs!

The most important criterion for a baby monitor with a camera is, in my opinion, the screen and the signaling function.
To start with the screen: the image is clear, smooth and has hardly any lag. The night view doesn't disappoint either. That switches on automatically thanks to the sensor on the top of the camera and the 8 infrared LEDs provide a clear and detailed image in the dark. The LEDs themselves are visible when you look at the camera, but they don't emit any light, so they don't bother the baby at all. The resolution of the screen and camera is not gigantic, but certainly enough for a clear picture of your baby.

It is of course possible to have the screen on continuously, but then the battery will be empty after 3-4 hours (unless you hang it on the charger of course). Fortunately, the display also has an energy-saving mode. The screen then turns off, but turns on when sound is measured. The volume threshold can be set to low, medium or high, but my experience is that the high threshold is also on the low side. The screen already switches on when the little one is simmering, or with the window open, it sometimes happens due to ambient noise. Anyway, I'd rather the screen turn on too much than once too little.

The Luvion Essential is made of black and white glossy plastic. The build quality is quite good. I've dropped the camera a few times now and nothing is wrong. Luvion supplies a standard so that you can hang the camera, for example on the wall. The camera is manually rotated, both horizontally and vertically.

I haven't experienced any range issues at all so far. Luvion advertises a range of up to 250 meters, but that is without obstacles. In a house you will of course always have it. In my case there is often a floor in between and in general I have reached at least 2 of the 4 lines. However, I have wooden floors so I have not been able to test how this works with (reinforced) concrete.

Although the Essential is the entry-level model from Luvion (which focuses on premium baby products), there are many features: temperature sensor, talk back function, feeding timer, lullabies etc. You can also set an alarm at a minimum or maximum temperature. The lullabies don't sound bad and the talk back function is also useful as a walkie-talkie if, for example, your partner is in the room with the little one.

Long story short: the Luvion Essential is a wonderfully pleasant baby monitor with camera and offers much more than the name 'Essential' suggests!

Does what it's supposed to do and does it well

  • Easy installation
  • no wifi
  • Range
  • Battery life

1. Installation
The installation can hardly be called an installation. Insert a battery into the base unit, insert an adapter into the camera and press 1 button. Green light on the camera and ready to use.
Compared to WiFi baby monitors, this is extremely simple.

2. Usage (currently 14 days in use)
2.1 Range
The distance between the camera and the base unit is 20 meters. This is without concrete walls. The range (indicated on the base unit in the well-known lines) is maximum and I have not experienced any malfunctions.

2.2 UX
The menu consists of a number of simple options. You can set the volume. The lowest setting is sufficient for a quiet room (bedroom). In my opinion this could have been even softer. The maximum position is actually not about anything, since you can even hear the breathing of your little one. Well, if this is something that you really like, especially in the beginning, then it is possible.
In addition to the volume, you can set the contract, where I actually left the default setting.
It is possible to use a timer for feeds. Something that you may want to use in the beginning, but in the long run this will become self-evident for most. Nice option, but doesn't add much to me.
If you have connected multiple cameras, you can switch between the cameras in the menu.

2.3 Controlling physical buttons (top)
These buttons are located on the top right of the base unit. An on/off button, goes without saying. Except that you have to hold it down for a few seconds to turn the unit on and off. The music button: with this you can switch on 3 pieces of music that can then be heard via the camera. This button may be placed elsewhere on the next version of this baby monitor. As a third button you have the save mode as an option. Precisely because you will use this more often, you don't want to suddenly turn on music when your little one is just sleeping. This has been reported more often in the reviews, so perhaps Luvion can do something with this. Anyway, the save mode switches the screen off until the moment that sound is detected. Then the screen switches on, so that you can immediately see if something is wrong. Nothing wrong and no more sound, then the screen switches off automatically.
The button on the right controls the function to talk back (walkie talkie idea) via the camera. The quality of this is extremely bad. This may be due to the microphone (opening) on the base unit.
The last button is to access the menu (as described above).

2.3 Physical Button Controls (Front)
On the front are 5 buttons (4 divided in a ring). This makes it possible to adjust the volume and contrast. You can also zoom in (digitally).

3. Conclusion
This baby monitor is definitely recommended. After I was able to test 2 WiFi variants, I am very happy with this digital baby monitor. Yes, the options are greater with a WiFi baby monitor, such as viewing images with a smartphone or tablet. However, it is also true that you have to put security in order, if you want to be sure that no one else can view the images from outside. The installation and range are mainly responsible for the high score. The price is on the high side compared to the sound only baby monitors, but I don't regret this purchase.
