Pro Wide -view angle and support P-Z-T

Pro Has movement and sleeping tracking
It can help you understand your baby’s sleeping patterns.
Pro Has danger zone alert
Setting up is a breeze with the app. Simply draw a boundary on the video and the Baby Pro will instantly send an alert if your baby tries to venture beyond it.

Cons
Con Requires setup
Since it works like a surveillance camera, it requires steps to connect it to the WiFi network, set up user access, etc. This is as opposed to monitors that come with their own screen.
Con Monitoring range is only dependant on wifi
Since it connects to the WiFi network, the range is only determined by this (as opposed to radio-based monitors).
