Clover DY549 5" Wireless Surveillance 1080p 355° Pan Tilt Zoom 5000mAh 1000ft Range

What this monitor does and who it suits

The Clover DY549 is a dedicated baby monitoring system with a 5-inch display and a wireless camera. It runs on a private 2.4 GHz FHSS link that does not require Wi-Fi or a mobile app. The package supports up to two cameras for multi-room coverage. Parents who want a self-contained, hack-resistant monitor with two-way audio and lullabies will find it fits the nursery.

Practical limits of the wireless link

The private 2.4 GHz FHSS connection reaches roughly 1000 feet in open space, but walls and interference will reduce that range. Video streams at 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second with digital zoom only; there is no optical zoom. Battery life is about 12 hours with the screen on and up to 48 hours in audio-only VOX mode, so daily recharging is typical for continuous video use.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify that a 2.4 GHz FHSS signal can penetrate the walls between the nursery and the rooms where you will carry the parent unit. The system supports a maximum of two cameras, so households needing three or more viewpoints must look elsewhere. No Wi-Fi network, internet connection or smartphone app is involved, so the monitor works even when home broadband is down.
