Cheego Smart 4+

I bought this monitor to replace my Miku baby monitor (absolutely do NOT buy that monitor either!).
The camera picture is good, I will give Cheego that, but that’s basically the only good thing.
It doesn’t remember any of your settings for alerts, the nightlight or anything like that. It doesn’t run audio in the background, meaning, if I have the app up but then go to scroll fb or something I can no longer hear my son.
My BIGGEST issue: the camera makes this godawful grinding noise randomly. It’s loud and unsettling. It wakes my son up almost every night, which I understand, because it creeps me out too. I regret buying this monitor immensely.

I love that it works with Alexa and I can pull it up on the Alexa show instead of only being able to open it on my phone. App was working great until recently. Light is automatically set on the lowest setting, even when we adjust it, it automatically resorts back. My son just randomly woke up and started screaming, I got no notifications and opened the app to see if he was okay. This is concerning because I am typically never up at 2am and wonder how many other times I have slept through him waking up crying.

Randomly, out of nowhere you will get a message saying the camera cannot connect, please retry. After hitting retry about 15 times, even with full WiFi and no reason at all for an issue, you’ll be lucky to get the camera feed refreshed and connected. That was how we’ve operated over the past two weeks. Now I’ve run into an issue where the video feed will not work no matter what you do. I tried re setting the camera. I tried unplugging it for 5 minutes and restarting it. Literally nothing works. Not only is this camera a waste of money, it’s dangerous to use as a tool for the safety of your baby.
