ABOUT BM1

Question: How's the range?

Answer: The range of the BM1 depends on distance and wireless interference. The latter is more of a factor in my case. For example, if I have the monitor in my office (18-25 feet away from the nursery) which has my wireless internet router in it (the latest Airport Extreme), I will constantly get "Out of Signal Coverage" warnings and beeps (obnoxious). If I place the monitor in the doorway the office, it works fine.

Question: What is the camera resolution? Does the monitor have a split screen mode, or do you just cycle through each camera?

Answer: The resolution is 1920*1080, the monitor supports split screen, and can watch at most 4 cameras at the same time.

Question: It comes with tf card?

Answer: If you mean like the SIM card this no it doesn’t. But it only needs it if you plan to record.

Question: Will it work if we take it somewhere where there is no internet?

Answer: Yes. It does not require an Internet connection.

Question: Does the camera only have a battery, or is it able to be plugged into wall for power?

Answer: Both monitor and camera come with plug ins, they aren’t battery operated in a sense. The parent unit recharges when plugged in so it will die if it’s not plugged in for a long period of time.
