Okay Monitor, Not Great
We purchased the most expensive video monitor thinking that we would "get what we paid for." I certainly hope there are better ones on the market. The sound on this monitor is not clear, there is a constant electronic-type hum. Pretty annoying when you're trying to catch some much-needed sleep! Also, while advertised as a color monitor, beware that the color is very "washed out" (reds look pale pink)and not significantly different from a black & white video monitor, even after adjusting the brightness. Additionally, the rechargeable batteries run down rather quickly (3-3.5 hours). <

>Having said that, it IS wonderful to be able to "peek" at the baby without waking him/her. A video monitor is the way to go, but perhaps there is a better one out there.

Great monitor
I love this monitor. We use it all the time, but just for the visual. The audio isn't great. We use another monitor for that. I would totally recommend this monitor to any parent. Before using this monitor I was only using an audio monitor. One day after putting my son down for a nap, I heard a little cough through the audio monitor. I thought my son might have been just stirring, but I went in to check. I found him lying on his back, as recommended for SIDS safety, choking on his own throw up. I immediately picked him up and tapped his back and he was breathing again. Imagining that I had never heard that little cough....I was terrified. Now that I have this camera monitor, I am so much more at ease. And if he does make a little noise I can look over to see what going on....It's great. Definately buy this monitor.

I love this monitor! Brings great Peace of Mind.
I agree with the other customers on the interference. I notice that it only interferes when I'm on my cordless phone, while in her room. Other than that, the monitor works well. I can overlook the minor interferences when I compare it to the overall workings of the monitor. <
>My daughter has had several episodes of turning blue (for no real reason), we've had a couple ambulance trips to the hospital because of them. After the first event, we went out to immediately purchase a video monitor upon discharge from the ER(the hospital wouldn't give me an apnea monitor and I didn't know how I would ever sleep again). This monitor gives me so much peace of mind. I wanted the color monitor so I would be able to assess her color during day nap times and the clarity of the video at night is pretty surprising. It's so sensitive that when I wake up to check her, I can look at the monitor and actually see her chest movement. Once I see that she is fine, I can go back to sleep. The other thing that I love about this monitor is that I can darken the video screen with one push of a button, so that the light from the monitor doesn't keep me awake at night. When I wake up, I push the button and the video reappears. The monitor is still on and the sound is active when the monitor is dark. <
>My only complaint would be the range. The monitor works great when close by... however, we do get interfernce (lines in screen) when I take the video base downstairs. We live in a colonial (approx 1700 sq ft) and when we are on the main level (with bdrooms upstairs) on opposite ends, I will notice some interference. Again, I can overlook that with the overall satisfaction and comfort that this monitor provides. <
>I would buy it again.
