Excellent! especially if you need the range.

| We bought this early (before the babies arrive) to test it out and we are not disappointed. We are using it right now to monitor an ailing relative who needs near constant monitoring and the nature of the set up is she is in a separate home on the property. So the monitor and sound are working perfectly at a range of about 275 ft between two homes. The handheld device can also be hooked up to your tv which puts the picture large and very convenient. You have the option of having sound, picture or both which is a nice feature. I give this high marks and cannot wait to use it to monitor the babies when they arrive. |
Best monitor we've purchased.

| We buy monitors of this type every couple of years, as we have a handicapped daughter with multiple medical issues and this is a good way to monitor her throughout the day as well as at night when we are not in her room. The large LCD display is across our bedroom and we can still see her very clearly. The portable is very handy since it has the rechargeable battery that lasts very long. Yes, sometimes there is a little static but it is very easy to get rid of by moving the monitor slightly. It does not seem to be bothered by the computer, phone, etc. I am hoping this one will last a bit longer than the others, however we have it on 24 hours a day so it does take a beating. The only thing I would love to see someday is one of these monitors with a two-way so our daughter could hear our voices when we are out of her room. |
Amazing in all the ways that matter

PROs:
Night vision. You can see your little bundle of joy when the nursery is pitch black. This is simply amazing.
Audio quality is quite good.
Very simple to set up.
Can hook up to a TV (or even a SlingBox!)
CONs:
Not the sturdiest product ever made. Very lightweight.
If you want to mount the camera, there aren't a lot of options. It is possible, just not as flexible as one might want.
There is some interference. I have no end of wireless technologies in my house (5.8 GHz phones, multiple 3G cell phones, 802.11 b/g/n) and I haven't bothered trying to determine which is the culprit. However, in the end, the interference is only an annoyance.
On the portable handset on battery power, the video turns itself off rather quickly (like most battery-powered devices with color displays). Again, not a show stopper, but it would be nice to be able to choose a trade-off between battery life and screen illumination duration.
SUMMARY:
If you really need a good monitor and feel that a picture is worth a thousand words, this is a great deal. |
Works Like A Charm!!

| After trying out a few other video monitors, we saw this one online and ordered it immediately. It works beautifully. The picture comes in perfectly, day and night. It's absolutely worth the money!! |
Loving It!

| I bought this to replace an earlier model Summer video monitor and just love it. Since we have two floors, it is nice to have a monitor in our bedroom and a handheld that I can cart around with me. Everything works well, and it is so nice to see my child no matter where I am in the house. The video quality is good, not superior, and gives me what I need. If you are expecting television quality picture (especially those HD viewers out there)you won't be thrilled. Overall, I am very pleased and wouldn't be without this product. |
