Luvion Grand Elite

A perfect baby monitor – High quality baby monitor with fantastic day and night vision, the camera pan and tilts with exceptionally clear sound Highly recommended

Best Baby Monitor i have ever owned – This is the best monitor i have ever owned. The hand held video monitor has a large screen and has great picture quality. The volume has high levels and the range is fantastic. The monitor also allows you to move and re-position the cameras remotely in case bub moves out of view. Has duel screen function also that skips from room to room view every 5 seconds. Easy to use! Cant live without it...

Rubbish and unreliable – Within months of buying the unit we had battery life issues, contacted baby monitors direct and they sent a new battery out which made no difference. Went through this process about 3 times and eventually ended up buying another cradle so we could have it in another room during the day. The sensitivity setting on the camera no longer works. … Read more

Bought another camera for our second child's room and that camera didn't work at all. Sent it back (after numerous wasted calls to baby monitors direct) and got another faulty camera back. Again (after numerous calls to support) eventually got another camera sent out, the sensitivity settings on that camera didn't work at all and was totally useless. After more pointless calls to support to no avail we finally decided that we would cut our losses and get our money back (this took a couple of months worth of pestering, phone calls and emails).

Picture quality is brilliant but unless you have got time to make numerous calls and send back multiple units until you finally get one that works (which you won't have because you have a baby), then don't bother with this company or the units it sells.

Very disappointed – Brought back to shop after a month. No confidence in the product - sound quality terrible, would end up having to turn down tv's radio kids! etc just to hear if baby crying on monitor (could have done this without monitor!) and this is when it was at highest level sound. For the price it is not worth it. Picture quality great during the day with… Read more

curtains open which we never did when baby sleeping anyway so experienced no satisfaction with this product at all.

A great picture, range is poor and battery life only 5 hours – Awesome night vision and unobtrusive but 300m - gotta be joking. 50m is a stretch. Running on its battery on standby mode lucky to do 5 hours. Not long enough. It runs effectively if left on the charger overnight and you stay close by. This was the big disappointment because we bought it specifically for the long claimed range. Nice picture day and night, subtle Poor battery life and range

Luvion Grand Elite Simply Works – This is the best thing I have bought for piece of mind of our little girl, not only does it have great images both day and night, clear audio, great range, all round fantastic features. The great thing about this product is, there is no muckin around with WIFI, trying to sync with existing network, resetting the network, power off and on, slow… Read more

connection as not seeing our child in real time.

All we'll and true to have the latest features, but from what I have seen and regretfully purchased this product by far is well worth the purchase.

I guarantee that there will be no nagging from the Mrs that it doesn't work, and or she doesn't know how to use it.

Great Product! – I purchased a Luvion Grand Elite baby monitor from Baby Monitors Direct in 2012. The product is very easy to use, has excellent battery life, clear sound and ok picture (picture is slightly grainy but nothing to fuss over). A fantastic feature of this product is that you can add additional cameras to the one monitor. Overall, I highly recommend this product and only gave it 4 stars due to the picture quality not being 100%.

Fantastic value! – We bought a luvion grand elite video monitor from babymonitorsdirect.com.au over 2 years ago and it still works perfectly! We have dropped it, it's been wet, it has been thrown by our son and it still works without any issues! The picture is clear and signal length between camera and monitor is second to none. We couldn't survive without our… Read more

luvion and have just purchased a second one for baby number 2! Friends have gone through more than two monitors in the same time that we have had one luvion!

Could not have managed without it! – I purchased the Luvion Grand Elite over 12 months ago for our new born through babymonitorsdirect.com.au. My husband and I often talk about how much we love the unit and how much we could not live without it. Its not just the video we like, it is how durable this actual product is. It's been thought the wars and it still going, not even a scratch… Read more

on the screen. I have already recommended this exact monitor to friends who have loved it too. Don't bother going to a large baby outlet to buy, you will pay more and get less. I have just purchased an additional camera for when baby no. 2 arrives. You will not look back, trust me.

Perfect! – This baby monitor is the best around. It is clear, easy to use and perfect for more than one camera. Not only is the camera brilliant but the customer service is far above that I have received anywhere else. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who has just had a new baby or looking to upgrade their current monitor. Great battery life, camera is extremely clear, easy to use, great functions, you can add cameras

Terrible dud – I bought this monitor over a year ago after doing lots of research and reading reviews. Surely the reviews are written by those connected with the product as I can find nothing positive to say about it. My video never seemed to work with any reliability, I might get it working for an hour a week. Tried using it just as sound monitor and it was… Read more

terrible for that too. I did all the resets, frequency tweaks I could and it never worked. I bought it in Australia and then moved overseas and it didn't work very well in Aus but got worse when living abroad. I have another baby on the way and will be buying something else. For the price I paid I was terribly disappointed. Nice packaging Total static picture flickering green; irritating and unintuitive menu; useless lack of instructions, had to trawl internet to try and find fixes; video mount moves without batteries, and nowhere very good to put it on a cot or nearby as tips over unless you tape it or bolt it to a wall; battery life rubbish; sound always had screeching interference.

Absolutely love this unit! – I need a lot of research before I bought a video monitor. I actually bought it when my son was 2 because I was so sick of getting up and checking on him in the middle of the night. I live that you can add up to 4 cameras I have just purchased a second camera for my second son. The range is great I have a 5 bedroom house kids down one end I am down… Read more

the other and have had not signal problems. I also have a house on a quarter of an acre and can mow the whole yard on a ride on and still see the kiddies. The best thing I like about this unit is the absolutely clear night vision I can see down to even where my baby's dummy has fallen out I have the camera placed about 4 meters above the bed. Love the night light and my toddler gets a kick out of the talk back mode. I haven't really used the music that's in build but I don't use mobiles or anything either. Extremely happy with this unit and would definantly recommend. Bought mine from baby monitors direct online and thaey very helpful and lovely to deal with. Great night vision, great distance, easy to use, extra cameras can be added. Will use for years! Nothing really the only thing I would change is the button noise when you go into settings or look at the camera manually it beeps when u press the buttons. It can sometimes wakes hubby at 3 in the morning :)

Disapointing range but otherwise okay – Great monitor, night vision and audio. Can mute monitor and it has a visual audio display so can still tell if bub is crying. The range is terrible though!!! it promises 300m but would be lucky to get 50 even when I took it outside to test without walls etc in the way - very disappointing as range was the main decider in making the purchase. Temp… Read more

readout tends to be way off as well often reads in the high 30's when the actual temp is under 30. good night vision does not have the promised range.

Luvion Grand Elite – Great product. Everything that is important to me in a monitor, it does very well. The resolution quality and sharpness of image is very good. The screen size is perfect - I need to be able to see what my baby is doing, whether they are up/sleeping, has his dummy or Teddy etc - and I can do this fine. I think a larger screen would be pointless,… Read more

and the new Luvion Platinum screen might be too small to see the detail. The GE fits well into my pocket - it's no iphone but its not too cumbersome to carry around.

The night vision is excellent; even 3m away from my baby we can see what we need - and with such a limited light source available, the results are truly impressive.

With plans for another baby, the ability to add extra cameras is essential. I didn't want to be buying another Monitor in few months time. I haven't used it yet, but with an extra camera the GE can cycle though each one for 3 seconds at a time, and when it detects a noise the screen stays on this particular camera.

When we first installed the unit it was too sensitive and would beep on the slightest sound - so we dialed back the sensitivity switch a little; now a louder sound is required before activation. We mostly enjoy having the video on at all time, but sometimes we have the screen off and it all comes to life when a sound is made.

I get a few hours out of the battery, which is fine for my use as its enough to stick it in my pocket while im doing things, but most of the time I have it docked to the power so I don't need it to last days.

The reception is clear with no interference - you have no idea how much our old audio monitor drove me crazy with its buzz, so the GE is a god-send. We have lots of internal walls and there's never a connection issue - it just works. There's about 1 second delay from a sound made to hearing it.

I would have preferred a longer power lead for the camera. The best position is up high on a shelf / book case over the cot - and the 1.2m cord doesn't reach the socket without an extension cable. It might sound silly, but I don't like the power board hanging up the wall.

The night light is nice, not too bright. The lullaby sounds are a bit robotic and not that great - same with talk back. But these 3 features are D list / nice to haves as far I'm concerned - they're not reasons why you'd buy/not to buy a monitor. In fact, even if they improved the Lullabies and talk back, I still wouldn't use them: Lazy/Remote Parenting sounds great on paper, but if my baby needs settling, then nothing beats being there in the room to sooth them

In a nutshell. All the important A list features are why I rate this monitor so highly. It works great. I tried lots of others and nothing has come close - typically because the night vision/screen size/resolution weren't up to scratch. perfect screen size, good picture resolution, great night vision, no connection issues Camera power cord could be longer, lulluby and talk back robotic sound quality

How do you stop the beeping? – I was given this as a gift, so hadn't done any research on this product before using it. On the up side: night vision is great, screen size is good, battery life is ok and sound quality is pretty good. On the down side: I find it quite "clunky" to use and not as intuitive as the Phillips sound only one that I still use for my eldest child.… Read more

The room temperature is off (no idea by how much). I haven't used any of the music/lullabies. The range is not 300m, probably only 15m through 1 plaster clad wall and 1 brick wall (I can't go to the mail box without it going out of range, but can go to the garage). It originally had a constant beep, but that prooved to be that my husband had connected the wrong power supply to the wrong part of the unit - this was easily fixed. After about 2 weeks of using it with the right power supplies the beep came back. Still there, have tried resetting it, have tried looking through the menu to see what could cause the beep, have tried googling/reading the instruction manual and still no luck, so have stopped using the parent unit. I was still using the baby unit as a night light - but that has stopped working now (bub is only 6 weeks old) - so won't be using that anymore either.

I would still use it if it didn't beep! night vision can't get rid of the beeping noise and baby monitor night light stopped working after 6 weeks.

Great monitor, compact, good value and never drops out – I bought this after heaps of research and after 9 months of constant use i have found it brilliant on the whole, it's a great size, really reliable and has never let us down. We were concerned about transmission through lots of double brick walls in our long narrow terrace but this has never been an issue, nor has it ever interfered with our 3… Read more

wireless networks which other people ave mentioned on reviews for other brands.

It's got a few minor glitches that don't impact our lives day to day, the date time function stopped working after a couple of months ( resets to 2009) and I found it hard to read in the middle of the night anyway as it is yellow on the display. Like others I have found the battery performance has slowed to maybe 4-5 hours capability off the charger and the supplier never got back to me about whether you could get a spare cradle. We have had a weird alarm function a couple of times and solved with a reset and the temp is out by 6 degrees... But none of these things are major and I still love it and have recommended to lots of people, interestingly I know from them the glitches above are consistent.

The nursery rhymes are a bit tinny if you plan to use that function alot but we never do. but otherwise it's great technologyand highly recommended Digital, good quality performance -Especially Through double brick walls, no interference with other wireless devices Date and time function broke after a few months, keeps resetting to 2009. (when working) its really hard to read in the middle of the night anyway .

Perfect – Perfect monitor, great range and sound. Battery life could be better. Really amazing image quality and lots of extra features like recording, speak back and lullabies. Especially scan function works great (monitor gets activated when there is sound from the babyroom. We love the design which is obviously personal but it it has the looks and it feels strong and solid.  Show 4 replies

The best monitor ever! – I have used many monitors while working in childcare and I bought this for when I had my child. I Love it!! Brilliant monitor that I cannot live without now. I have recommended it to all my friends and they have bought them, they love theirs too. I have just ordered an extra camera for my second bub on the way. It is clear, easy to use, reliable and has so many functions. Excellent that it can be used with other cameras.

Best monitor we've come across – This is our third video monitor and by far the very best. Picture quality and sound is brilliant. We bought this unit for the coverage range and liked the idea of more than one camera with a second baby on the way. Had some issues with the coverage, but figured out it was materials in our house, moved the unit and now workinf the distance we need… Read more

it too. Love the second camera feature, switches easily between the two.

Can't fault this monitor at all. Excellent picture quality, good battery life.Nice BIG screen.

A great product, cant luve with out it! – I first saw this product at a baby expo. I was not going to get a monitor as many friend said that they did not use theirs much. And i am so glad that i brought this product, it puts my mind at ease, especially that i can see and hear my baby. With so many great functions eg. a night light, talk back, nursery rhymes, recording and room temperature… Read more

just to name a few. A great size screen that is really clear and able to hear my baby very clear. Also a very good battery life and pops into a cradle for quick recharging. Also able to take batteries. The main concerrn for me was that there was going to be no interferance and that no one was able to 'tune in' to the frequency of my monitor, which in this case it has its own frequency. All round a great product and i have definatley got my moneys worth. Only able to buy this product at one place in australia, but got a great deal and it was delivered to me the next day. Great size screen with clear sound, great functions Absolutly nothing!!

Highly recommend. Can't live without it! – I bought this baby monitor about 6 months ago and absolutely love it! The picture is very clear and it's literally a flick of the on/off button to use. My bedroom is at one end of the house and my sons is at the other, so I was desperate for a baby camera monitor so I wouldn't have to get up to every sound I heard. After reading other… Read more

reviews and reading up about this particular monitor, I knew it had to be the Luvion.

Albeit that it is more expensive than the others, but without a doubt, worth every cent. I very rarely get interference sounds. When family babysit they tend to watch the camera like its a movie! It can be slightly addictive to begin with.

If I was to fault it it would only be that the hand held camera monitor does not have a belt clip. As I also use the Angelcare Sensor Monitor in conjunction with the Luvion and I also carry around my mobile phone everywhere, the belt clip would have been really handy. I'm like a walking gadget mum!

I have no hesitation in recommending this product. I purchased it online at Baby Monitors Direct.

Raych, Melbourne Reliable and did what it said No belt clip

Good for 2 days but I find it temperamental after that – My husband and I decided on this monitor after doing so much research about baby monitors. We have been using it for about 6 weeks now. It was great for the first 2 days then it starts to be very temperamental. The screen would not switch on !!!! even when it is fully charged or even when the power is plugged in. Then the camera would not go back… Read more

on, and it does it randomly. I did email the seller but all she/he suggested was if I had it all fully charged and plugged in properly, I did all that prior to even working the device and I read the instruction book cover to cover. I work in a healthcare profession, working in minute details is in my job description and I believe we have a faulty monitor. Unfortunately, after replying to my first email, the seller did not reply back when I told them of my troubles with the monitor and yes, all is fully charged and plugged in with their appropriate cord. So much for waranty and care for consumers. I have now bought a second monitor, Phillip, I use both now, at least I will not freak out when the Luvion decided to have a mental break down. So, all mums and dads out there, be aware....expensive item does not mean it is better. Great monitor when it works or when I managed to get it back on ! Very temperamental (which is a worry), Expensive (worth it if it works), unreliable

Don't believe the hype – I looked here at the 5 reviews with 5 stars before buying, and other review sites. I don't get the ratings. When I see something has 5 out of 5 stars by all reviewers, I think "This must be perfect with little room for improvement". Wrong. I tossed up between 1 and 2 stars, and decided with 1 because at the end of the day, when I compare this to… Read more

the phillips one we borrowed that is >5 years old and just audio, if I had my time again, I would choose the basic phillips model, over the self proclaimed "possibly best, digital video baby monitor to hit the market".

For starters the picture is blatant false advertising, it's been photoshopped completely, the screen a) is not that wide b) is no where near that sharp or bright. I kid you not, the black boarder around the actual screen is markedly larger than that shown in the online 'pictures'. Unbelievable.

It's also missing a lot of very basic features, admittedly eluded to by others, that things like cell phones 10+ years ago had. It beeps every time the buttons are pushed. How can you not add an option in to disable this... The lullabies it plays are almost indistinguishable, think of the most crackly phone conversation you've had being played on the very first 0.5inch speaker ever made, again, 10+ year old cell phones ringtones have more clarity and less distortion than this.

The kicker. You can't use it on audio only mode! You can not use it like a basic normal baby monitor, when audio is coming through, the screen will always be on. Ridiculous, who designed this thing :/ There is a 'zoom' option on the control to zoom in. To zoom in you press menu, then settings, then down down right, then select zoom, then down to 2x instead of 1x, then select, then menu again to exit.... Beep beep beep beep beep. Really? Really?

The manufacturers website actually contains no useful information about the product, no features or specifications, just pure marketing dribble.

The delay! The talkback has about a 3 second delay before it starts. But even the baby noise coming through is delayed.

Bottom line, it works, just. But like I said at the start, I would vote higher (and choose) a 5 year old audio only model over this. That's saying something. Night vision is super clear. Battery life seems good Expensive, false advertising (screen much smaller than picture on website and box), lack of numerous very basic features, no audio only mode, can't diable beep, false advertising.

Just great – Crystal clear image, especially compared to Philips that we returned. Great distance and fabulous design! This fits your modern living room! Features are as they should be, wide and good. All is just there. Image quality, design and distance Not cheap, but yeah, quality comes with a price is guess

Expectations Met - Product does everything it said it would do – My experience with the product hmmm, I can not be any happier. I was like a lot of people out there looking at purchasing online but too nervous, constantly asking myself , will it work ? will i be wasting my money ? will i get ripped off ? Yes it works , no i definitely didn't waste my money, in fact it is great value for money, Nope i didn't get… Read more

ripped off. The service i received was wonderful, I placed my order around 11.50pm on a Wednesday and i received my monitor on the Friday morning.. I found the instructions to set up the unit very simplistic and the unit itself easy to operate, in fact you become quite obsessed and start watching your baby out of pure fascination.. One of my concerns for Luvion Baby monitor was whether it would reach back to the monitor because our house has so many corners and it also has a steel frame, you hear so many other mum's saying that their units have interference and they are crackily and drop in and out of service . Not this baby monitor.. Everything that it states that it will do , it does. Visually - perfect... Clarity of audio - perfect... Customer service - perfect. If you are humming and haaaing about getting one like i did then don't , you wont be disappointed.. What i like about this product, lots of things ..I like how if my little girl starts crying and i can see she is just wanting some attention i can turn the light on from the parent unit, i like being able to turn the music on. I like how i can turn the screen off when i go to bed knowing if she makes a noise or a movement it will come on. I like just being able to watch her if i want to .. Absolutely nothing ....

Love my monitor! I dont know how I survived without it – I researched so many video monitors and found this one to have everything I wanted! Since receiving this monitor I have not been disappointed. I don't know how I survived without it. Refer to my pros and cons. There are so many good things about this monitor - no other video monitors I could find had all these features. I highly recommend… Read more ·  1

this monitor - especially for the price when you compare it to others on the market. Looks great. Large screen. Easy to use. Room temperature display. Two way talk. Time and date on screen. Can record via a mini SD card. Can hook up to the TV. Great screen - very clear. Great night vision. So easy to use. I can also buy another camera and have it linked to my handset - great for my next baby. Battery life is good - but could last longer when you leave the screen on all the time. There is no battery life indicator. I would love it if the volume was shown by bars on the screen like my previous Angelcare monitor, but this is only a small thing. When you press the main menu buttons, they beep and you can't change this. I would prefer without a beep so I didn't disturb my husband sleeping. All these "cons" are far outweighed by the many pros!

Does everything a baby monitor should! – We've had this for about a week now and it's simply amazing. The picture and audio quality are excellent, the menu and operation are very straightforward and simple to use. The scan mode is really useful as it saves the battery and alerts you when the baby either makes a loud noise or moves a lot. Great quality audio and video, simple to use,… Read more

great value for money The lullabies don't sound fantastic, but we use our own CD player and lullabies anyway so it doesn't really matter

Just what I was looking for – I was looking for video baby monitor that offered all these features and was of the highest quality, I feel secure with it. Build Quality, stylish, Big screen, two way talk- you can record with video, value for money,does what it says

Luvion Grand Elite - brilliant video baby monitor! – We are stoked with our monitor, I did a fair bit of research and nothing came close to this one. It has so many great and practical features and definitely eases my mind when I can see bub clearly the whole time he is napping. I would definitely recommend this to others - its the top of the range when compared to other video baby monitors! big… Read more

clear screen, great night vision, good range, the sound is clear, its very reliable and the parent unit recharges quite quickly, the camera has great range of movement, the parent unit has a handy little stand on the back so it sits nicely on desks/night stands, also found the temperature reader for bubs room very good. when the volume is up there is a background hum noise but we have it set to auto mute and its perfectly silent until bub makes a noise so its not too bad at all. Also, the talk back on the parent unit has a couple of seconds delay between when you press the button and when you can actually speak otherwise your voice gets cut off and bub doesnt hear what you say.
