The Motorola MBP845 is a dedicated parent-unit video monitor with a 5-inch color LCD screen, infrared night vision, and two-way audio. It uses 2.4 GHz FHSS wireless for local viewing (up to 1000 ft range) and adds Wi-Fi remote viewing via the Hubble Connected app on smartphones/tablets. The parent unit includes temperature display, high-sensitivity microphone, out-of-range and low-battery alerts, and 5 lullabies. The ergonomic handheld parent unit runs on rechargeable batteries. No subscription required for local viewing; Hubble app adds sound, motion, and temperature notifications. Best for parents who want a reliable closed-loop RF monitor at home with optional remote Wi-Fi backup—strong brand heritage (Motorola is America's #1 baby monitor brand by 2017 revenue) and steady parental trust, though the screen is smaller than newer competitors and Wi-Fi remote viewing may lag.
