Notes

An AI-driven baby monitor is usually a primary safety and sleep-tracking device, so owners prioritize uptime, stable Wi-Fi, and clear video/audio. Typical failures include camera module issues (focus/sensor), power supply wear, and Wi-Fi dropouts that undermine remote viewing.

Repair is worth it when the problem is clearly isolated-like a failing adapter, a damaged cable, or a mount that no longer holds a safe angle-especially if the camera is still within a strong support window. Replace is the better call if the camera intermittently fails, overheats, or loses connectivity repeatedly, because troubleshooting time and risk (missed alerts) can outweigh savings.

Also factor in subscription dependence and compatibility with current phones/OS versions.
